Looking at the warnings that we'll have rolling black outs all summer, and the fact that we have FOUR freezers now... we bought a second Jackery. We actually bought the first Jackery in March or so when it became clear black outs were a threat. Here it is: It came with four solar panels AND … Continue reading We Bought a(nother) Jackery
My debit card expires this month. I'd been waiting patiently for the new card, but it never arrived, and when I went to check the banking website this week, it says it should have arrived in May. There are no transactions I didn't recognize, and I don't activate a card until I'm holding it, so … Continue reading Bank Aggravation
Our freezers have been full for a while, and anticipating garden influxes, we decided that buying a good sized standing freezer would be our best option rather than try to fit another small chest freezer. We intended to trade the chest freezer it was replacing to my brother. I went to the nearest Menards on … Continue reading We Bought a New Freezer!
I've been busy this last week, even if I was feeling pretty awful. I got TWO of Holly's How to Revise Your Novel lessons done: And I'm plugging along on lesson 8. And then, I've fallen in love with watching artists paint in gouache, so much so that my husband is getting me a set … Continue reading Creative Update
I'm plugging along on the novel I'm outlining, working title 'Girlie'. Yes, my working titles are terrible. I never settle on what I want the final title to be until I'm done with the novel, and then it's a battle. The inspiration for this one, that I didn't save because I'm an idiot, is from … Continue reading Weekly Writing Update

I mopped up what I could with towels first, but they dried it all out and hunted down the drains that … Continue reading Car in the Shop Again
Here's a random cute for you! I startled a baby bunny, and the foolish thing wasn't smart enough to be scared of me. I got both photos AND video! Some close ups: It wasn't even the size of my hand yet. Closer look: AND I GOT VIDEO. So go here for some cute video of … Continue reading Bun Bun in My Garden Has No Fear
I'm planning out what I want to achieve for the next few months, and so here is a photo of my Kanban board. Two sections of the board are for my current novel in revisions, 'Murky Water'. The HTRYN Lessons are the class I use to evaluate and set up to revise my novel, and … Continue reading Planning on My Kanban Board
I have most of my plants in the garden now, excepting my replacement plantings for the potatoes. The potatoes are not potatoeing, so I'm looking at putting in watermelon and pumpkins and such in those bales to try and loosen them enough for another try next year. First, my green onions. I don't want them … Continue reading Planted ALL THE THINGS~!
Okay, this totally needed photos! We already had this feeder on the existing Shephard's hook. My mom gifted my husband with this one: And so I got him a matching one because hummingbirds will fight to the death over a feeder: And of course, if you have hummingbird feeders, you have to have oriole feeders … Continue reading My Husband Put Up Bird Feeders!
