Mice in Luna đ
A week ago Wednesday I popped into Luna (our little Airstream we camp in and lives at our mainland property) to grab a couple of things for my quick quilting retreat trip. All looked well. This last Thursday when I returned those items to Luna. Things did not look so great. F*cking mice. The more […]
Before & After
We picked up Stellaâs jackknife couch from the upholsterer this evening. What A Difference! Yes, itâs going to sit in our mainland homeâs garage for a month (and did I move a bunch of stuff around to create space đ), and yes, I have mouse deterrent arriving this evening even tho there are no signs […]
Dadâs 93rd
I spent a lot of time thinking about my father today. We worked on rehabbing our upper deck, and somehow accomplishing that task, right down to getting the drip irrigation turned on, plants trimmed, and gutters managed on his birthday felt like honorable work to do. Work he would have lent a hand with, or […]
RhubarbâŚ
I got my mamaâs rhubarb planted and watered today. It looks really sad đ˘. Only time and some steer manure will tell. I also dug a bunch of invasive sweet woodruff up. I canât believe that this stuff is sold in nurseries. đ Other gardening enjoyment was to keep removing dead bits out of the […]
April 2026 Island Trip – Day 7
It felt a little chaotic pulling out of the property today. Maybe because I was there by myself. Maybe because Iâm 13-weeks out from significant ankle surgery and clearly the recovery is more than I anticipated. Maybe because I set some artificial goals for myself⌠that I was able to let go of!! That being […]
April 2026 Island Trip – Day 6
Successful dump runs this morning đ. Then I did and little of this and that, and dug up some rhubarb to take back to our mainland garden, and then I was done working for the week. I texted my neighbor to the east to see of she wanted to do lunch in town, hit the […]
April 2026 Island Trip – Day 5
I slowed way down today. Yeah, still attended to things, but no mowers involved. Iâm at a point where I could take the shop vac out of Stella along with a 32-gallon trash bag of carpet. While it still feels like red neck/white trash living, itâs much nicer to have things cleared up a bit. […]
April 2026 Island Trip – Day 4
I met my carpet removal goal in Stella (what a weird thing to sayđ§). The carpet is out from the front of the coach to the beginning of the kitchen, and the âhardwoodâ floor, installed in the kitchen, over the carpet is out. In order to advance my carpet removal project, I ran to the […]
April 2026 Island Trip – Day 3
I got the âbigâ mowing finished this morning – very gratifying, and moved onto the push mower. It and me ran out of gas by the big rhodie, so they are having an overnight this evening⌠I met an acquaintance, who knew my dad, at the Grange. He walked through the AV equipment and I […]
April 2026 Island Trip – Day 2
I essentially mowed all day with a lunch break and a âgave a super heavy table topâ away break. This to a guy who wants it for the Grange Gardenâs soon to be built barn. Heâs coming back for a counter weight for his tractor. Sadly he was not interested in any of the other […]
