I did some unexpected running around yesterday and didn't have a chance to post. Now that I am, I'm seeing that the title font in my editor has changed. I did not change the default font. I'm not even sure how I would do that! Well, we'll see if anything is different after I hit … Continue reading This and that, and… why have my fonts changed?

Winter is not quite done with us, yet
After getting teased with spring, the temperatures lurched back downwards last night. Also, I am SO tired of our intermittent internet. It took me forever to get any of my weather apps to load! We'll be able to switch back to the primary account soon. Hopefully, that will be better again. As I write … Continue reading Winter is not quite done with us, yet
They’re finally in! Also, we still have an income…
The last of our seed orders FINALLY came in the mail today. They were shipped quite a while ago! This was the first batch that was ordered. I completely forgot that, on noticing how few seeds were in the packets compared to the giant sunflowers we ordered last year (which was by weight, not seed … Continue reading They’re finally in!

Unexpected
Oh, what a day this turned out to be. I'm looking at the time and wondering why it's not several hours later, because this day has felt much longer than normal! But first, I share the pleasantly unexpected thing. As I finished up my outdoor morning routine and headed for the house, I noticed something … Continue reading Unexpected
Broken. Like our system
Okay. I think this is going to be a difficult post to write. To recap for our new followers (Welcome! Thanks for joining us!); about a year and a half ago, my husband ended up in the emergency room for what turned out to be pulmonary edema. He spent the night in the hospital, was … Continue reading Broken. Like our system
Get a little bit closer, and a follow up
I headed out to water things this evening, but got distracted. Junk Pile and two of her babies were out! I ended up lying right on the ground, in hopes that would make them less intimidated by the tall(ish) human. Creamsicle took full advantage of the situation. What a silly boy! Tabby didn't come any … Continue reading Get a little bit closer, and a follow up
How it went
So... My husband and I are back from his appointment at the pain clinic in the city. In a nutshell? Nothing happened, and nothing will happen. At least not there. To backtrack a bit. When we first moved here, one of the first things we had to do was find a new doctor for my … Continue reading How it went
My favorite mutant
While doing my morning rounds and picking more squash, I always check on my favorite mutant sunburst squash. It looks like, where it rests against a leaf or stem (which I've moved to take the picture), it turned yellow, while the exposed parts are green. I find myself torn between wanting to pick it, and … Continue reading My favorite mutant
Following up on things
I got to follow up on a couple of things this evening. We hit 32C/89F today, so once things got cooler, I headed out to water the garden beds. Yesterday evening, after letting the silicon sealant cure for more than 24 hours, I filled the rain barrel by the garden, so today was the litmus … Continue reading Following up on things
New compost location
Yesterday, I moved the metal ring the compost pile was in to its new location. I ended up using the same wires to hold the seam together; they'll just be much easier to undo in the future! That allowed me to simply roll the whole thing over. This is where we decided to put it. … Continue reading New compost location
