The weather has turned the corner into cooler temperatures and possible rain, with snow in the higher altitudes. It snowed overnight in the Cascades, so it’s just a matter of time before it smucks us. But in the meantime, a favorite time of year is here! We picked some strawberries, a good double handful of […]

“Pogo” has a lot of answer for in terms of warping our brains. The world famous knit model is hard at work, as usual. Both are still really spotted but almost as big as their mom. One of the babies decided to have a little siesta in some tallish grass by the garden, but his […]

First 100 rows are finished. Lots more to do but since I’m being really entertained, this is a good thing. My knitting is being professionally modeled by Mish. He’s a bug in a rug, one of his most favorite places for the second afternoon nap on the couch. Nothing else is going on around here, […]

Sailors take warning, but what about when you’re in the middle of mountains? It doesn’t mean anything good here, either!

Obviously their mothers are friends. The […]

Never tried this before, so another experiment from the garden produce. I have a mandoline slicer which can make little matchstick widths out of larger materials. A bit of research and a helpful link from my friend Antara, and lunch was soon to be served! I match-sticked a whole zucchini, while my usual marinara sauce […]

These veggies from the garden ended up in a lasagna I made last night. And the zucchini plant has five new for me to pick. Very soon. I may take them to the post office and add them to their collection of free fruits and vegetables. If I end up taking hundreds of zucchini to […]

Dan picked all the rest of the peas yesterday and I shelled them. We ended up with three cups of peas for me to do something with. So… dinner and breakfast! The clouds looked a wee bit rowdy when I went outside to dispose of the pea pods and moments after I completed the task, […]

Our berry harvest for this year is basically complete, such as it was. The strawberries will have another batch of flowers later, and the raspberries should give us a fall harvest but nothing yet. So these are what I had to play with and I decided to make something with them, rather than just eating […]
