Our plumbing project is finished as far as we can take it right now. There are a couple of very minor leaks which may resolve themselves over time. We’re going to keep an eye on things and see how it goes, and the buckets will live here for a while. This system solved a number […]
Bunny at Sunset
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 27th, 2009
“Red sky at morning, sailors take warning….” So… what cosmic message do bunnies send, when orange colored from a sunset? It was a fascinating sky last night. Thunderstorms grew on the mountain right above us. And to the west the sky was clearing. The sunset was casting a warm orange fire over everything around us. […]
Finally – a Good Bread Recipe!
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 26th, 2009
Ever since last winter when I realized that I couldn’t eat gluten anymore, I’ve been looking for a good bread recipe, one that would meet with approval from Dan. He bought a couple of really good gluten-free baking cookbooks and I’ve been making things from them, and searching for a bread recipe that would make […]
Thunderstorms
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 23rd, 2009
Forecast today and tomorrow is thunderstorms and a chance of rain. The forest fire northwest of us blew up overnight and is now being called “out of control.” This is not what we wanted to hear! This morning while I was working I saw multiple bolts of lightning striking the ground due west of us, […]
July Sunsets – continued

The fires to the west of us continue to generate spectacular sunsets. The fires are coming under control and this is wonderful news; people get to return to their homes now. We have had lots of baby activity around the house. Yesterday there was a baby Snowshoe Hare sitting next to the bushes by the […]
Tile Floor Is Done
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 20th, 2009
Yesterday we ran out of the grout used on the tile floor, and so today we found some, only a 3 hour round trip to pick it up. When we got home, I finished the grout and did the first cleaning of the floor. Tomorrow I’ll do the major cleaning of the floor and the […]
Fire-influenced Sunset
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 20th, 2009
Last nights’ sunset was courtesy of all the fires burning immediately north west of us, rough 11 square miles, some of which are contained and some of which aren’t, but they are working on them. Scary stuff for the people who had to leave their homes!
Summer Has Arrived
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 19th, 2009
There are several unmistakable signs regarding summer. First, the hummingbirds arrive and set up housekeeping. We call summer time “hummingbird season.” The unmistakable sign that summer is here are the baby birds bombing around the house. Like these two, for example. These two managed to sit still long enough for me to attempt to focus […]
Second Half of the Tile is in Place
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 13th, 2009
It’s well and truly stuck down too! I used another 5 gallon bucket of the adhesive. So, next weekend I will play with mud again. Oh joy, oh rapture, or something like that. Tomorrow it will be a miracle if I can move around at all. Sure makes the room look larger and neater, even […]
