The thunderstorms rolling through here have been exquisite, kissing the ground with moisture and helping everything turn green. Every time it rains I feel gratitude.
So, now we know – from blow job Billy, to Texas darn tootin, Chicago slick and smooth, to the NYC Agent Orange golum of greatness what we can expect from […]
In 1999 I was sitting in Apache Junction Arizona thinking about my life and future prospects while I gazed halfheartedly over the interior of our second hand RV. We were called ‘full timers’ in the language of those who chose to live full time in homes of this sort. The Itasca Suncruser had been […]
I have a tradeoff I’ve come to accept. In life, everybody gets one. I suppose in the end; it’s what a person chooses to do with the balance between the two that counts. Mine is interesting. In exchange for family comforts, a kind father, a walk down the aisle, children, a consistent career with […]
I was inspired to write this post, in part, because although the Chinese year of the dog has arrived, we are also entering the solar month of Pisces, which like all signs has it’s up sides and shadow sides.

Couple of Winter time projects…
We finally got around to replacing most of the old electrical outlets, I worked upstairs in the loft and Will worked downstairs and after an hour we were done with that project. The rest of the loft – library is coming along too, little by little. Got most of the […]
Ok, let’s get this permaculture train back on track. First hike of the year took us to Crab Creek
hey look there’s our house!
Next up: set the dry erase board for 2018. Look different? Should. (I said should) – it’s missing the headliner from last year: “projects delayed due to the Tiny House and Wild […]
