Out & about with the old ridge runner, feeling it in my bones, as well…

A softer wind tonight, and as I raise my axe to try my luck at splitting, it blows my hair all around my face, which feels good…

I bought new wire snips after my old pair rusted shut, & set off for the barn, to take down a section of old fencing…

You gotta wonder sometimes, who could possibly think up the things we have to live through…

I love a mission before 9 am or earlier, that requires getting in my truck…

Maybe its just my mental state, but I feel like I have too much on my plate…

The turn back to cold, which I did not appreciate, none-the-less firmed up the dirt road, and allowed the sled to be pulled overland to the yurt, chock full of stove wood…

Sometimes we have to work hard to like ourselves, eh? …

The arc of my day unfolded in simple chapters: a trip to town, a quick walk up to the washed out culvert, countless mental miles, and a few emotional ones…

This storm last Saturday buried half the state…

For ever day I live, I'd like another day, just to read…

Kitchens are cool, either way…

So the neighborhood cat is named Carl, & when I arrived here last spring, he'd been billed as "feral"…

I didn't exactly know where to start…

It didn't really get warm today but after doing a bunch of shoveling, I decided to prune an apple tree…

Dear Valentine, I hope you had a good day…
