Momentarily Out
We unplugged counted to ten, fifteen, twenty, heck, a hundred even and then plugged back in the router to the electrical outlet. No avail. For a couple of days our internet has been off. Not that you would necessarily notice Dear Reader. I have been trying to incorporate the whole blogging thing and keeping up … Continue reading
Bran’ New
Bran’ New Goslings, my entry for this week’s Header Challenge. And yes, it was my choice for the theme, and yes, I knew exactly what I wanted to put up, so yes, I picked the theme to fit my picture! I don’t usually take advantage of my choice week like that but I couldn’t resist. … Continue reading
Take Flight
This week the theme for the Header Challenge (see far right sideboard) is “Flight” chosen by Dave. O’ boy does my spirit need to take flight on the back of a fluttering narcissus; soar into brighter, sunnier states of heart from where it dwells at present, the reality of ankle deep muds and boot cresting lakes of … Continue reading
When It’s Quiet on the Blog
This last week was quiet here on the blog because it was hectic here at the Farm. Thursday the water level in the Market Garden was up over where it was when we first pumped water out over a week ago. By late Friday a few feet of the newly planted potatoes were a bit … Continue reading

He has made no promises, nothing was expected. In spite of losses suffered, winter has become one of my favorite times so I thought that … Continue reading
The Weather Outside is Delightful
Some may say its frightful. But not me. Some Can Handle It And not just me, Bet and the resident weather watcher, we love it, the peas love this stuff and if I were braver the early cole crops would have been transferred out to the Market Garden already as well to love it. But … Continue reading
Missing
This week’s theme was my choice and the first word that came to my head was “missing”. Between raccoon kills, stitching up chickens, running a dog to a vet, seeding trays, making tea for seedlings, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, I didn’t have the time I had hoped for to wander, camera in hand, for an artistic … Continue reading
La Nina
La Nina generally brings cold, snowy, wet, active winters to the northern Cascades. And this time, so far, she is living up to her reputation. La Ninas often follow an El Nino and here she is. Looking like she will deliver a promised wet cold winter. Last winter we had a … Continue reading
