Okay, I know the equinox was last week. But I couldn’t find my camera until today, and it was full of lovely equinox photos, so how could I do an equinox post without it? Well, I couldn’t. But I can now! So look what we did on the First Official Day of Fall….
Well, that doesn’t [...]

Shortly after we first moved into the yurt, a distressing teddy bear accident occurred. A small green bear was tossed and landed on top of a tool closet shed thingy of Paul’s. We could see the bear from the yurt, but we could not reach it. And so the small green bear, alas, stayed put.

I found this little critter while cleaning up the other day.

We met her, have seen her flock and her beautiful eggs. We’ve laughed at her slap-stick predicament. We’ve read about her alternative lifestyle love-life. We’ve even seen her recent embarrassing condition. Now, today, we have the torment of Whitey. Only this time, I’m not kidding. But before I go any further, let me reassure everyone [...]

Let me tell ya. Getting up at 5 In The Fucking Morning to write, something I would have sworn would NEVER work for me, not in a million years, not ever, getting up when it is cold and dark and lonely, well, it’s going GREAT.
It is so incredibly freeing to have my evenings to spend [...]
this chicken is molting

It’s embarrassing not to look your best. And a molting chicken is bedraggled and generally pitiful.

A while ago, back when I first got my ipod touch (how did I ever live without it?), I wrote a post about gaming on the ipod with my kids. At the time there seemed to be very little out there on games for little people, and few games they could play. As with everything [...]

I mentioned the other day that I’ve been doing a bunch of yoga lately. It started out with some restorative yoga poses because I was feeling exhausted. Then I stopped feeling exhausted and started doing some standing poses each day. I picked up some yoga dvds, looking for some fun routines, and somehow, I have [...]
