So this is just another short post. I’ve been in a class all day and now Sue is out a Huachuca UMC, playing for their evening service. I just wanted to do a quick update to show a few things that have been happening. Continue reading

We’re having an erosion problem around the coop; aided by chickens, there is no doubt, but mostly due to rainwater running off the roof of the coop. It’s definitely not a drainage issue, for which one would normally use a french drain. So, perhaps we should call them modified french drains. Continue reading

As we start to really think about getting ready (no, we’re not ready to get ready – only thinking about getting ready) for the late spring and all summer processing season, we are trying to get our freezer emptied so that we can defrost it. This is a me mandate… must eat what we have before we buy more! Doesn’t really work for us tho’. Today I purchased shrimp, because we don’t have any, and where do they go? In the freezer. Granted, they are for Thursday’s dinner, but still. Geesh. Continue reading

More than the usual, I am muzzy headed these last few days. Brain fog, some call it. It’s difficult for me to get a clear thought in my head. This often happens when I’ve been traveling, but I’ve been home for two sleeps now and I’m still very much muzzy headed. Continue reading

Highlights of the California trip…. so far. This is only really day two of being in Cali and we’ve already done so much. At least it seems that way.

Then it stopped and the sun came out and was beautiful all the way to my folks home. Continue reading

This Sunday, as well as it being Superbowl Sunday, it was Groundhog day (and Sue’s Aunt Pat’s birthday!) The report was that Punxsatawney Phil did not see his shadow, which – traditionally – heralds an early spring. Isn’t it great what we can learn from animals? Sue and I, however, didn’t really need good ol’ Punxsatawney Phil to tell us that spring is near. Continue reading

Yep. Here I am on Super Bowl Sunday, watching the game and blogging, because – you know, there are so many replays and chatter that you can totally keep up and still do something else. Besides, I can always stop typing to watch the commercials. It’s almost halftime, so we’ll need to pause live TV to go put the chicken’s in in just a few minutes. No matter what is happening between the Chiefs and the 49ers (Go Chiefs – for Holly and Family), I really just want to talk about gardening and what we did yesterday. Continue reading
