Clean up: ditch view
Despite a very foggy, moist start to the day, it dried up enough that I got to use my new toy; the push mower my awesome brother fixed for me. I love his work-around for the seized throttle cable. It's just a wire latch. Like this, it's in the on position and I can start … Continue reading Clean up: ditch view

Critter(s) of the Day: on the beach
Insects count as critters, right? While walking the beach not long ago, there were a surprising number of lady beetles all over. So many, in fact, in some places, it was impossible not to step on any. I also saw a couple of these guys... At first, I thought this one was dead. Especially when … Continue reading Critter(s) of the Day: on the beach

Have I mentioned before, that I have the most awesome brother? Maybe just a few times. Because it's true!

Critter of the Day: snakes alive!
One good thing about living in the middle of nowhere. When I see a snake on the gravel road, I can stop and shoo it off. It's that time of year when the garter snakes are heading north to the dens where they spend the winters. Sadly, many never make it as they try and … Continue reading Critter of the Day: snakes alive!

Critter of the Day: bashful beauty
This photo was taken just a few days ago. Potato Beetle looks like he's got some plans... ... for world domination! 😀 Then he got all cute on me. Awww... What a beauty! We've been having overnight rains pretty steadily for the past while. I've noticed it's had an effect on the platform feeder. In … Continue reading Critter of the Day: bashful beauty

Things with crab apples: jelly, three ways
Once we got our crab apple cider vinegar made up and set aside to ferment, it was time to turn to the rest of the crab apples! The apples had been cleaned and left to soak in cold water with vinegar overnight. The extra time allows for any damage and bruising to the apples to … Continue reading Things with crab apples: jelly, three ways

Things with crab apples: apple cider vinegar
Things have been a bit crazy lately, weather wise. Some severe storms have blown across our area and, while we have pretty much just caught the edges of them, they still resulted in internet outages and our power flickering in and out. Perfect weather to stay indoors and to things with our crab apples! I … Continue reading Things with crab apples: apple cider vinegar
