My cat Ollie is sad at losing his buddy though. He’s been taking lots of naps lately.

Well it’s been quite awhile but I finally have an update on Louie the bitey foster kitten. He hasn’t bit anyone since his first day with us and so was cleared for adoption. It took about 8 months for him to finally get adopted but a couple came and adopted him as a companion for their cat. It...

Coffee, hash browns and a peach this morning. I need to clean the coop at some point but it’s already too hot for that today and I work tonight so I guess it will be tomorrow’s job. I can’t wait until this heat wave breaks.

It’s still light here most nights when I go to bed so I haven’t noticed. I wonder what time the moonrise is here...

We get plenty of migratory birds here in winter. The Robins will be back sometime in October or November. Geese and Waxwings too. I used to know the names of most of the different ones but can’t remember now. We have wrens by the front door and Phoebes in the carport. The wrens just left the...

I’m so sorry. I know how much it hurts. We lost our dog Nika the same way back in October. It’s heartbreaking. Praying for you.

Toast and eggs this morning for breakfast. Iced coffee after I came in from dealing with the chickens. It was already 85 at 8am. Another heat wave hit overnight.

Contemplating coffee and maybe french toast this morning. We have company coming over to hang out and eat dinner tonight. I think the coffee will have to be decaf or because if I have caffeine right now I’ll be ready for a nap by 2pm. I think I’m going to start trying some easy iced coffee...

No thank you! Living in the middle of the woods has cured me of any desire for camping. Having your house surrounded by a pack of 30 screaming coyotes makes you very glad not to be in a tent! My only crazy camping story is from being a teen and getting to watch a friends meth head neighbors have...

I think everyone hated doing dishes. And most people dislike vaccuming. I don’t mind it but I don’t particularly care for it either. I also hate manicures. Fake nails scare me and do does letting random people touch my hands with sharp objects and chemicals. If I want my nails done for...

I don’t like watching TV much. It’s maybe once a month or less that I actually sit down to watch something. There are a few shows that I used to watch but I’ve worn myself with them because I watched them so much. Most shows and movies that are on today just aren’t interesting to me.

Yep. The flowers not getting properly pollinated is also a big issue in some areas so lots of people hang roadkill from the branches to attract more of the pollinating flies.

We a grove of on our land that seems to be native. They are so expensive (the fruit and the live trees) because of how perishable the seeds and fruit are. It makes transportation and propagation difficult.

Alas I’m the young one. ( Im still living at home because the housing market is crap and because mom has medical issues that mean she occasionally needs help ) Both of my parents are the children of pack rats and honestly I think they just don’t see the mess a lot of the time (though I’ll admit...

Coffee, grits and an apple for breakfast this morning. Need to get the house clean today since company is coming Friday. Really isn’t a one day job between the rest of the family being singularly unhelpful when it comes to cleaning, the fact that I’ve just ripped out the carpet in the room the...

It’s been the opposite for us. Last June was incredibly rainy and cold. We had flooding and a few days with lows in the 50s which is practically unheard of here for late June. This year it’s been in the upper 90s for about 3 weeks and we’ve only gotten a significant rain fall once early in the...

Coffee, eggs and toast this morning.

It may technically be vinyl. The company we purchased it from has it labeled as linoleum.

Linoleum is not my first choice but it would be the cheapest and they’ve got some pretty nice looking linoleum now. It’s been getting very popular in our area the last few years especially since hardwood is so expensive now. Whatever I put in has to be something I can install myself and I don’t...

I’m planning on getting some of that snap lock vinyl. We thought about doing linoleum like the rest of the house but this room is an awkward size and the snap lock stuff is easier to install anyway.
