01.9.11 so close yet so far from 9.11.01
It’s only been dark a couple of hours in Tucson, Arizona. The second of many dark nights to come. And I keep thinking about the mom. It was just a day ago, and everything was all right. Or it should’ve been. The irony. She gave birth to a beautiful, baby girl on one of the…
Winter is here early
We had a borderline-blizzard this past weekend and the temps have been frigid. At one point last night it was 8 feels like 0 degrees! The lowest I saw it go was 6. We did only have a few inches of snow but the winds were so blustery the few inches we received were blown…
Too bad health care reform is not helping me
Yes, I am currently one of the statistics. I am uninsured. _He_ was laid off last year and was forced to take a job without insurance benefits. Insurance is expensive. Unfortunately, I am unable to see how the health care reforms that were passed are going to help me at all. It would be cheaper…
Still Alive and Kicking Almost 6 Months Later
Wow! Where does time go? I won’t even attempt to post all that’s passed under the bridge since my last post in OcToBeR of LaSt YeAr!?!?! But I am posting that we are still here – alive and kicking, homesteading, working, playing, learning, etc. We’ve added cows and more chicky-babies to our little farm, and…
I just want to spin right round
I planned to – until I discovered that somehow my web host has lost a massive amount of htaccess files from all of my hosting accounts. So that’s what I’m working on now – into the wee hours of the morning, most likely. Frustrating!!! Tomorrow’s Goals: Temporary Horse Pasture Posts for Permanent Lower Horse Pasture…
No time for catch up
I won’t even attempt a catch up entry – *SO MUCH* has gone on in the past 6 months that I would’ve loved to document and share here. I will attempt to run some back stories now and then in the near future, as I attempt to write more (I’m _in the mood_ once again).…
Quick Ice Storm Image Comparison
Just a quick update… Here is one view of part of our forest this past November, BEFORE the tragic Ice Storm of ’2009: !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3299/3276864139_eefd614533.jpg?v=0!:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/3276864139/ and here it is a couple of days after the Ice Storm, only a slightly tilted view, but almost spot on, of the same area: !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3277684624_693c8bd459.jpg?v=0!:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/3277684624/ ….. more later!!
Hanging on the Edge
p{float:right;padding:10px}. Times are a’changin’. Some good things are coming to an end….and some new ones are on the horizon. It’s these transitional, ambivalent times that really try me. I’ve been told that I’m not really a pessimist nor an optimist, but more of a realist. Sometimes that’s not so much fun. I also tend to…
Contractual Perplexities
Contracts, lawyers, utilities, floor plans, packing, storing – there are so many details we are swirling through working out. But it’s all good. Even during dream time we experience mildly tumultuous times and it’s all worth it. Our dream may not be among the common, but it’s ours and it’s unfolding. On another note I…
