The Equinox is next week, and then, maybe, it will stop snowing. But that was not today. It’s a good thing we can maintain a sense of humor this time of year. The good thing about snowfalls this time of year is that, generally speaking, they don’t actually stick to much of anything and just […]

A couple of months ago we realized the batteries which provide our electrical power needed to be replaced. And like all things involved with this house, that meant we had to accomplish three others things first, before we could get to the batteries. What happened… First, last year the propane generator died, and we switched […]

Cold weather returned, along with clear skies overnight. The combination in February always means really pretty moonsets. The moon is a bit fuzzy because I was taking pictures off hand and I wasn’t awake yet, and it was cold. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it 🙂 I really am going to have to […]

I actually took the camera out today to take pictures of Mountain Lion tracks. Last night a neighbor called to ask if we were seeing the big cats up by our house, and to let us know they were around if we didn’t know. We had heard rumors a few weeks ago. These large cats […]

We went over to visit friends today, as Susan wanted us to get together and do watercolors together. I haven’t done any new paintings for over five years, so it was a very fun afternoon. More practicing necessary, but I’ve been wanting to get back to painting again. While we were there, we saw a […]

There was a lot of munching going on around here last night. Oh well. The deer were hungry last night and those green leaves stood out like a beacon in the night, inviting them to come over and clean them off the plant. I think this poor little plant is going to have to be […]

A cold snap is heading our way, below zero overnight is possible this next week. We’re looking forward to that, actually. It feels neat! Not exactly how we anticipated starting a Christmas Bird Count today, but we’re very glad this one is ok. We’ve had a bad week for birds hitting the windows. We’ve lost […]
