Sometimes, it is Just Plain Weird Around Here
So today was a livestocky sorta day. All day Bet and I worked on things for the livestock branch of the insanity around here. When Dirt got home, he joined us. After all was said and done and Bet told me to go in and finish up dinner, I ran out to my Market Garden … Continue reading
Catching Up..
Last week was full of days that truly were balanced work days, a little regular work that has been on the to do list for months, some work that is actually on this week’s calendar page and some storm damage fixin’ involving both sorts of dirt. But pretty much this post is dealing with backlogged work, … Continue reading

Damages and Images: Part One, the Wonder and the Havoc
Three weeks ago, on January seventeenth, the whole of the Pacific Northwest received a large dumping of snow overnight, on top of a fairly typical earlier snowing, short lived and melty, on the fifteenth and sixteenth. Nearly as soon as we woke up on the eighteenth and were … Continue reading
Let’s Pretend

The posts went up over the course of a couple of weeks, the pauses were for large dumpings of rain. Rain … Continue reading

Postcard From Vicktory Farm & Gardens
Imac picked the theme for this week’s challenge. Did he say it was going to be easy? Perhaps not, maybe that is what Dave said last week. But it probably was easy for him, maybe easy for the others as well, but not for me. Make sure you go see what they came up with … Continue reading
Veterans Day

Weird And Wonderful, That’s Us!
Dave’s choice of a theme for this week’s header challenge is “Weird and Wonderful”. I’ve got the weird covered and Dirt always handles the wonderful part. I’m a bit late again with my post, a sunny day and lots still to finish before the real cold weather sets in. Not to mention a bit of … Continue reading
