The exterior painting is almost done. It looks so different! We may have to put up gutters but that can wait a bit until more dust settles. We pulled the video cards from both trail cameras this week. One camera captured a really dramatic picture of some leaves in the middle of the night. It […]

Yay! Mishkin doesn’t think it has been fun living inside a drum. He didn’t appreciate the nail gun at all. Neither did we but we love the results. We really hated the steel roofing. It was a hazard to navigation with snow sliding off the roof in line with the front door. For one […]

I should post some pictures. This is why I haven’t done anything. This has been a rough last month. We had a tragedy in our tiny family. On Saturday July 24th our much loved macaw died. It was a horrible experience. She is buried in our garden where she will be safe from predators. I […]

This week the stairs project was completed. Yay! Can’t even see all the landings from this angle. There are four landings separating the individual sets of stairs. The middle one is large enough for a bench or small table and chairs, and will be a great place for spring bird watching. The chairs are in […]

On Sunday we went to our favorite fruit stand and bought some pie cherries, peaches and apricots. The cherry pie is all gone and the preserves will last a bit. It’s amazing how much fruit goes into filling six jam jars. The stairs project still isn’t completed. Looking at it yesterday, most likely it will […]

The stairs project is not finished yet but should be done by the end of next week. The stairs are going to be quite the workout for our legs and heart and lungs. Not down so much, but going up is a really good exercise. Fortunately the creek bottom is such a cool place to […]

Watching the thermometer is a new hobby. Yesterday was the hottest temperature we’ve ever seen. It’s been going up 3 degrees each day. 105, 108, 111. I hope the trend doesn’t continue for today!! Today and tomorrow are supposed to be the hottest days and then it will cool down gradually. Monday it is forecast […]

Yesterday was the highest temperature on our outdoor thermometer that we’ve ever seen living in this county for almost 13 years, all told. And it was supposed to be the coolest day we’ll see for the next six days. Hmmmm. This morning it hasn’t heated up outside as quickly as it did yesterday, so perhaps […]

This morning before it got too hot we went see how the stairway project is coming along and take some pictures. Definitely, a zipline would get us to the bottom way quicker than going down and then up the stairs. But getting back up without the stairs would be impossible. Though we could cross the […]
