Spring storms blew around the house all day today, interspersed with periods of sunshine, enough sunshine to charge the batteries fully. I don’t think we’re ever going to get tired of the magic of solar power. Dan went out to change the solar panels to a flatter angle, and while we were walking around on […]

Ok, so it wasn’t quite a blizzard, but we drove home through snow in the higher elevations yesterday evening, and it was snowing mixed with rain when we drove into our driveway; it snowed here overnight but not more than an inch accumulated.

The insurance company wanted pictures of our house, for no known reason, but their wish is our command. Besides it shows how much snow we have on the ground right now. At least it was a sunny day when Dan took the pictures. The weather has turned a bit and we have cloudy weather today, […]

Experimenting with baking again, today I made some crescent rolls using rice flour and other things. They were pronouced a success. I made two things with my dough – the first half I formed into the normal crescent shape and then I put some cinnamon sugar and raisins in the second half. I think they […]

I started a third lace shawl project a while ago, and then got side-tracked from working on it, for a wide variety of reasons. A few days ago, I began working on it again, and I’ve reached the 25% completion mark. Mishkin really really really wants to help with my knitting projects. He’s quite sure […]
