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! We’ve been under a red flag warning for extreme fire danger for several days due to high temperatures of 100F and over, and strong winds. It’s a perfect recipe for forest fires if people are […]

Not counting ripping rows back when I space out and make a mistake.

We have three fawns that we see every day, a pair of twins and a single. When they all get together in our front yard they demonstrate the scientific principal of kinetic energy as they bounce off each other, the ground, blades of grass, and the occasional (ha!) grasshopper. 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 […]

We had our first non-strawberries harvest today. Three things. Peas, pie cherries, and red currants. Yes, I put the red currants into a tiny bowl so it looks like a bigger harvest. There really aren’t enough of these berries to do anything with, so I’ll have to come up with something creative. The peas are […]

Yesterday a doe showed up with her day old fawn. She parked him in wildflowers next to the garden and wandered off to do some serious munching. We didn’t see her go back to pick him up but apparently she did because she was back today, baby in toe. The pair was outside the window […]
