Still Here
---------- They say trouble comes in threes. I am living proof that an exponential amount of trouble can roll through. Last week I about actually expired from this life, but thanks to some good car...
Antithesis To A Vampire
---------- To be honest, I have been dragging lately, really struggling to move, but I figured that was just because I am medium aged and I do eleventy billion things all the time, I mean this past...
Soup, Sourdough, and Serendipity

Jam Parkour
---------- As I type this, I have a very funny looking parrot on my right shoulder. It's actually not a parrot at all, rather, it a kitten that is about the size of half a loaf of bread. Her mother...

The Winds Of July On The Fly

Pungent Ponderings
---------- Ooh, the first few bulbs of the season were ready today. I love garlic so much. I can't wait to roast a bulb and spread it on a piece of sourdough toast. I needs it. Okay, drooling aside...
Blueberry Bread & Bulldozers
---------- For many years I have often found myself pausing to ponder why so much happens around me all at once. Usually people get hit with one or maybe two things at a time. Heck, I am usually a-...
Peonies And Pondering
---------- -------------- This week has not been particularly pleasant. Okay, that may be an understatement, it has been downright miserable. I am at fault for such an existential bearing, as I way...
And The Usual Happened...
---------- Exhaustion. That I am even posting is actually odd, I should be sleeping. Since Wednesday I have been going full send and then some. It all started when we left the ranch, the hubs in fr...
Supercilious Supervision
---------- For most of my homesteading life, I have always had a bit of an animal entourage that accompanies me throughout my on the homestead work flow. Up here on the ranch that situation has tak...
A Pie Experiment and The Corg Splashes Once Again
---------- For three solid days I did nothing but drive. I also attended many a fete and gathering during all that road rambling, and let's just say I am attempting to recharge after all that exist...
