Yes, this is me here, two days in a row…. amazing, I know…. Today was not the greatest of days – but it’s almost over. Tomorrow just has to be better. I’ve been partaking in allergy shots, since last June, every week (well, almost). I have 3 shots, I have so many allergies, but it…
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!!
Ice Storm ‘2009
Ice can be beautiful, and ice can be devistating; for our trees it was the latter. We’ve lost literally hundreds of our trees to this catastrophic storm. For 3 days and nights we’ve lived to the almost constant sound of trees, treetops and branches snapping, crashing and falling under the weight of ice. For the…
Home for the Holidays – Literally
We’re here. Phase 1 of our house is closed in around us. We’re putting shingles on the roof tomorrow. The wood burning stove warms us well. The electricity will be brought in to us next week. Everything is folding onto place, pretty much. I’m writing this on my iPhone, nothing but a kerosene lantern left…
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…
Legally Speaking
It’s all contracts, applications, details, etc. around here. I’m trying to cover all of our bases and so far everything is going well. We’ve had a few glitches but nothing that we can’t overcome. The perk test is ordered – should have been done Wednesday and we should hear something soon. The electric the guys…
My version of NaKniSweMo 2008
National Sweater Knitting Month (NaKniSweMo) is upon us again, coinciding with “NaNoWriMo”:http://www.nanowrimo.org/ as usual. I am contemplating a new take on it – new to me anyway. Instead of casting on yet ANOTHER sweater, I’m going to estimate the number of stitches left to knit on the three main sweaters that I currently have on…
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…
