We finally finished the painting and most of the woodwork in the house; the only room we haven’t done anything with yet is our bedroom. That will be next but this week we get to play instead of work. It was so nice to take down the stupid shelving the former owners had scattered around […]

Took some knitting pictures with my phone and found some summer pictures that we’d forgotten about. Thanks to all the rain we had in the spring and summer, we have the tallest grass and weeds we’ve seen in the last couple of years we’ve been here. Same holds true for this entire area. All the […]

Summer is coming to an end and the ‘ber’ months are almost here. Fall is the best time of year! We have seen the last heat wave over 100+ temperatures for the year (hopefully). The more I work on this project the more I love it. This was earlier in the month. I’ve made much […]

There’s not much going on around here except watering the garden and lawn (such as it is), pulling weeds, harvesting things as they get ripe, and knitting as much as my shoulder will allow. Unfortunately the yellow jackets also love the bird bath and in the afternoon they keep everybody out of it. We are […]

Lots of fun things for us to see recently. Somehow there’s nothing funnier than cows which are outside of our gate and fences. The next-door cattle rancher has drastically reduced the number of cattle they have and they do try to keep them home but they are sneaky guys and as soon as they see […]

We aren’t finished with creating the garden, but we are definitely getting closer. We planted two blueberry plants, and one more Josta Berry, plus a rhubarb. Definitely worried about the rhubarb as both leaves it had when we transplanted it are now dead and I am not sure there is a new leaf somewhere just […]

Flowers are blooming next to the house. I hope the burglar, err bearglar, enjoyed sniffing them! We discovered we had a visitor last night, one who wreaked havoc on our front and back decks. Mainly he or she was looking for something to eat because no doubt some moron people have taught them to expect […]

Finally got through the tedious border pattern repeats, 37 times at 340 stitches per pattern repeat. The good news is I did memorize the pattern! Next I had to pick up all the stitches on the inside straight edge of the border. There are 296 stitches to be picked up. The first row transfers all […]

Our first seeds are up! Nobody else has poked their heads above ground but we are cautiously optimistic. The ground is really dry which means not much organic matter in the top soil, so we’ll have to keep it damp. The new couch is a success as far as our cat is concerned.

Well it keeps on snowing around here. It doesn’t stick to anything down low but let’s just say we’re really glad not to have to drive over the pass today! The mountains we can see to the east were very white this morning. The garden doesn’t care about snow at this point! As soon as […]
