At the land

Leave a reply

Back in town for the weekend. Mostly catching up on errands, housework, laundry, but giving myself ‘quality time on the computer as well *lol*’.

I did add a few photos to my gallery, EyeSee, there’s some of the dragonfly and a couple more of the Agave. I guess the layout and look of the gallery will have to wait until I have more time, but I have more photos I would like to get up and they won!

The week went well, no major problems with any of the systems. We are using a generator for power, and it is louder than I would like and so we don’t use it all day and all night. I made some progress in the house with shelving and finding homes for stuff. It’s funny in that, there are no cabinets as yet, creative storage is the key here.

I started pulling the dead stuff out of the garden.. we still are harvesting tomatoes. The weather has been great, high 80’s and with a breeze in the afternoon and cool (low 50s) nights. Clear as a bell too with a full moon coming on…moonlight streaming through the bedroom window.

I started the huge process of cleaning out and organizing the storage shed. The shed was the first thing built on this site. It’s been there for 10 years, and it holds 10 years of stuff that wouldn’t fit in town (remember 1 room town house), or flea market finds that I knew I would use one day…and I did find a few things to actually bring into the house. This project will take weeks I am sure.

Mainly it’s quiet there. There is stuff to do at every turn and look, so it is hard for me to relax. I was busier than I would of been in town, even with out my computer. I get one tv channel (nbc) which has mostly lousy early evening programing. I do have a vcr/dvd combo on order at the local radio shack, I need to check into that.

I miss my cat, Kaya.

Kaya my kitty

We’re not settled enough to bring her out there yet. Russel is spending time in both places, he is on the road a lot with teaching at the schools and bringing me ICE for the ice chests as we don’t have a refrigerator there yet either. Nor do I have a vehicle with me, Russel needs the truck for work and the ’71 VW bus would shake apart after just a couple of runs down the road, so those things are high on my list when work picks up this year.

Autumn Equinox is coming

It’s just around the corner. We have had a little rain, very little compared to what has been happening in the south and east. But just the same it is a sign of things to come… the winter rains.

I won’t be around here much at all, certainly not every day, ha! like I am now *lol* But much less, hopefully with more to say.

We’ve been working hard all summer to get the house in a much more livable space and I am going to spend a lot of time there this winter, perhaps the posts that get put here will actually have tales of homesteading and living off the grid. I hope that soon I will be able to bring my computer out there with me…then I may never come to town again!

This is a little something I took in the summer, never got around to uploading the rest of these or other photos I have to my gallery, which lays fallow until time presents itself, as does this blog redesign and the redesign of my other sites.
Hope you enjoy it!

Dragonfly looking at me

Prezident Brown (google him!) is coming out on tour again, it looks like he may swing close enough to be able to go see him… that would be really cool. He’s playing in my old stomping grounds of Bolinas and Fairfax…that would just be too fun to go to, but there is no chance of getting to the bay area again any time soon ;(

I will try and get some good interior shots of the house with fresh paint with my Canon G3, it’s flash leaves much to be desired, and I don’t have the add on one yet.

Oh, and one other thing… a while back a certain blog woman posted a link to a word game, Weboggle. She did warn that is was addicting… I sent it to a friend. My darling husband found the link in the sent mails and now HE IS ADDICTED!

Geez, one more game to take his time away!!!

Another Birthday Past

Solfest – Bruce Cockburn

I finally had the time to put up a new front page at the Cockburn Project. I still have about a dozen or so good pictures that I will put up here and on my gallery.

Also had a birthday on the 11th.
Russel says I am finally playing with a full deck *lol*.

What other significance does ’52’ have..? Well, I was born in ’52 and there’s 52 weeks in a year, that’s about all I can think of.

We had a good day, rummage sales in Ferndale, movie (Cellular***) in Eureka and chinese dinner in Fortuna at the Hunan.

I also got a vhs tape of the Solfest show! It’s a bit shaky but the sound is good..and I used it to transcribe all the song comments for the piece I did for the Cockburn Project.
