  • Two Sides of the Same Coin…

    Sometimes you have to let the weather just do its thing and you need to get on with something else. The all knowing and occasionally correct weather app says we are in for at least two weeks unpleasantly hot, and occasionally life threatening hot temperatures. Which means working at the farm is not a great…

  • Not Sustainable…

    I didn’t go to the farm today. I also didn’t achieve anything productive in town. Which means I’m basically feeling like a decomposing sack of potatoes as I sit here on the couch wondering when the indigestion from the frozen quiche is going to arrive before the heart attack from all the salt. My stomach…

    Bursting…

    Occasionally I have these periods of getting stuff done in a hurry. Sometimes they are just before or after a period of being down and unmotivated. I wonder if they have a name for that? Anyway as I can’t guarantee how long this little shot of energy is going to last, I am going to…

  • Absolutely Stunning…

    An absolutely stunning lack of awareness has been a reoccurring theme in my life, and not just self-awareness because that is kind of expected. While I can spot a rare piece of midcentury pottery from two stores away, my situational awareness for human interactions is almost zero. Recently I went to see a movie with…

  • The Wall…

    I’ve hit the wall, again…and I am struggling to push past it this time. I’m exhausted not just from the work but also from the keeping a smile on my face at the same time. Well maybe not a smile, more of a blank stare and an idiot grin. I can’t even tell if it’s…

  • Zero Day…

    To steal the nomenclature of hikers I am taking a zero day, a day to rest and recover and make no progress on the hike. Though I will probably do a thousand miles in my head thinking about jobs that need doing and budgets that won’t be met. I would love to claim the day…

    1666: The Devil is in the Details…

    After not seeing a usable set of French doors in months I have found 2 sets in week. The first set are aluminum framed which is probably practical for the exposed side of the cabin where they would fit, and they are slightly narrower so they will fit easily in the gap. The gap in…

  • Zen and the Art of Dashcam Videos…

    I have found that when I am feeling stressed, which is increasingly often this year, I have been finding it difficult to come up with ways to cope and distract myself. I am also very sensitive about putting my stress out into the world as I really don’t want to be the person who throws…

  • Midweek Break…

    I’m not actually taking any time off the break is more emotional than physical. Break is also probably a bit dramatic, because I am just a bit tired and it feels like it’s been winter for about a thousand years. Did I mention I was feeling a bit dramatic? I should be feeling positive because…

    Empty…

    The last few months has involved a lot of work to get the shipping containers to a stage where they could contain things. I had to install a road just to be able to get them onto the property just in time for the coldest and wettest time of the year. I then had to…
