I pulled wilted cucumber plants yesterday and figured out where to put the flower pots for winter. Bytes placed two poles in an effort to reinforce the arch holding up the wisteria while I cut “windholes” in the heavy plant.  I’m hoping the breezes will pass through and leave the arch standing.  Wheels put hooks […]

Had a great family reunion last weekend.  Lots of fun and laughter and good food.  The weather was absolutely perfect — not always something to count on in August on the Great Plains.  Kids were able to play in the splashpad while adults caught up with those they hadn’t seen for a while.  I wasn’t […]

The local paper reminded us yesterday that winter temperatures and possible snow will be here in  about 9 weeks — just to balance out the reality of the 100 degree heat we’re living in at the moment.

New Home – 18 month update

New Home Update after 18 months -- A Pinch of Joy

Rocky the Cat

Rocky the Cat peering through the stair rail -- A Pinch of Joy

On Christmas Eve an apartment dweller called the manager and said, I keep hearing a cat meowing in one of the garages here, can you find out what’s going on?   So the manager trekked out, found the garage and rescued a small kitten.  He asked around, no one seemed to know anything about it.  Knowing […]

Wind!  And more wind!! So strong that it can throw you off balance in a single gust.   There is a family story of a mother, homesteading in Kansas, with seven children, living in a one room soddy with, of course, no indoor plumbing, a cookstove that needed constant attention, a garden instead of a grocery […]
