Dan thought I should show how mean I am, hitting him over the head with a cast iron pan while we were putting the kitchen floor down. The truth of the matter is that I only dropped it on his head, accidentally. It does, however, answer the question about hard headed-ness once and for all. […]

The first third of the flooring in the kitchen is done. We have to stop now because the cookstove is in the way and we can’t move it without help. Monday after Jack and his crew are gone, we’ll see about finishing the floor. Progress! The lighter floor will help brighten up the room, and […]

He has been drumming before light for over a week now. We love grouse! They are such little thimble brains. I made pizza for […]

Not exactly sure if I have enough yarn to finish this or not, so I’m just continuing to knit and crossing my fingers that it works out ok. Matching dyelots is so impossible, even with a dark color like this. The entire middle section is complete and I’m finishing up the last few rows of […]

We’ve been living here almost exactly 3 years now; it will be three years in a week and a half! Time files. Sunsets seem to be most intense colors this time of year, the sun is staying up a little later and has moved a lot farther north on the west horizon. Lots of cloudy […]

Today we looked out the front windows and what did our wondering eyes see but two deer and they were eating the Buttercups. A few escaped the hungry horde, if two deer can be considered a horde, but it is substantially less yellow out there. They didn’t appreciate Dan going out on the front deck […]
