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 […]

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.

Answer: Threaten to wash the cars. That’s really all it takes, and not even a threat, just a spoken outloud intention to do so, while outside so that the weather gods can hear you. So, it has been snowing recently, since said intention was voiced over the weekend. It isn’t accumulating, but Mother Nature is […]

This morning I was awakened with a sports score update. Bringing you the details we go to our sleepy correspondent… me! I was awakened this morning with an exciting pre-dawn story. Dan got up this morning and wasn’t greeted by Mishkin trying to trip him in the dark. So, he turned on the lights and […]

The temperature outside isn’t what you’d consider balmy, being +24F, but the sunshine more than makes up for it. It feels wonderful! The birds think so too. Going outside on the front deck, the sounds of spring have begun to arrive. Robins are bupping, chickadees and Juncos are singing, woodpeckers of all sorts are drumming, […]

We woke up this morning to blowing snow and cold temperatures, and we decided that today would be a good day not to be out on the highways driving around looking for birds. See, we can be sensible given an opportunity. So, instead we had our picnic lunch at the kitchen table. It was delicious. […]

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, […]
