Cats are champion at sleeping and Mishkin has made it an art form. We had another tiny bit of snowfall yesterday but nothing to write home about. This morning it was 20 degrees Fahrenheit and we have lots of moisture laden clouds heading our way this evening. Tomorrow it may be white when we get […]

Termination Dust meant a lot more when we lived in Alaska. It still is cool when it shows up even though it doesn’t seem quite so daunting as winter only lasts a few months here. Saturday morning we drove over the pass and there was a light sprinkling of white dust flying around on the […]

Hard to believe but there are only two months left in this year. We haven’t made any progress on the interior painting; we are both really exhausted by the summer. Didn’t end up with a propane backup generator being installed like we had hoped. The company we were dealing with finally exhausted our patience and […]

Starting a knitting project. Cast on 14 stitches to begin. The other evening we saw this White-tail buck following the trail of a doe.

It rained really hard and then it stopped shortly before the sun went down. There was lots of moisture in the air, so we had a rainbow on one side of the house and this is what it looked like on the other. It never lasts very long but it’s oh so pretty when it […]

The other day we bought two varieties of pluots for jam making purposes. One of the pluots has a deep almost maroon colored flesh, and the other is a bright yellow-ish orange. They feel very slimy at this point but oh so much easier to peel. I knew I wouldn’t have time to finish […]

It would be nice to say we are organized. It would be a total lie if we did say that, but it would be nice if we could ever get there. I have a long list of things I want to do to achieve the goal of being organized. Maybe I should write them down […]

It’s been a long six months working on house renovations for both aesthetic and practical and necessary changes, besides the present to ourselves which consisted of a stairway to the creek. The last major project for our contractors was to replace the shower in the bathroom. The actual shower itself was the first piece of […]
