Do Not Read This if You Do Not Like Baby Pictures

 

I was just feeling a little sentimental this morning. I’ll be back later with more words.

note to readers

So I’ve been “replying” to comments in a way that I thought would be reaching you but actually all of my responses are in the comment section. Sorry if you thought I forgot you.

The Sweater is Done!!

I have been knitting for over ten years. The first project I ever made was a sweater, it was for my godsister and her fiance, since then I’ve knit many hats and bags and sweaters but never a sweater for me until now. It was a bit of a process. The yarn was bought about [...]

In Search of Alder’s World

A friend commented the other day that we shelter Alder. The comment rankled me a little I wasn’t sure why at the time but then Kevin and I were talking about it and he said it best. “Alder is three years old of course we shelter him.” If we didn’t shelter him we wouldn’t be [...]

Delving in…

Something happened yesterday I had a wonderful shift inside of me. Ever since we realized that we were moving back to Colorado there had been part of me that I had just sort of turned off. My life was out of my control I was angry and tired and just sort of gave up on [...]

Human nature and the unwinnable debate

I try to avoid political subjects on this blog but I have something about the health care debate that I wanted to share.

Another day here in the

It’s the weekend around and we’re playing hard and spending time.
There was some building….
And knocking down…

And lots of making…

There’s black bean chili on the stove and plans for knitting and reading in my future. Days like this remind me why we do things the way we do.

Yes Day

Today we had a yes day. It’s sort of a reset button for me. The past few weeks tension between Alder and I has been growing, we are spending too much time together and neither of us has much of an outlet. I’ll admit it he handles it better than I do. That means that [...]

The Ice Storm

It’s been a busy week here in the forest. Kevin started his new job and we’re all getting used to the new schedule (including deciding that he is probably going to stay at work two nights a week instead of driving back and forth). We’ve also had a general malaise around here that has lead [...]

and out we went

It’s supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow. That means lots of inside time for all of us, early snow is usually wet and verging on rain or sleet. So we decided after breakfast a hike was an important thing for us to do today, after we put in an hour dragging wood.

We headed west towards [...]
