That’s Entertainment

As the summer winds down, we are really enjoying the location of the pool, especially as we finish clearing the high brush that was leftover. We have had one get together of around 30 people (20 of whom camped over) and it worked great.

What if the Well Runs Dry

I of course think she is just doing it wrong and so try it myself. No water. I switch to the cold tap thinking something is wrong with just the hot water. Uh, nope. No water, period. I begin to panic.

My 2022 EDC

Our word of the year is “Organize”, so it makes sense that I have been reviewing our EDC. From what is in my pockets, to what is in each of our cars, our move to property has made those contents even more important for us than before. Stores are not just around the corner. For today I’ll empty my pockets to share what I carry, and since we are about ready to start being in the office again, I’ll show what I pack.

Organize - The Kitchen

That meant that you could not stand around the island and have a conversation. Which of course is the main point of having an island! You would have to duck or lean over to see anyone.

Organize - Word of the Year

My wife and I were on day three of rearranging nearly half of our kitchen cabinets (as in taking them down and physically moving them) and as we worked, we kept coming back to a word that we agreed made sense to call our word for the upcoming year…

It Begins

So the ocean works pretty well as the cabins we visit do not have any distractions. Just the waves and the sand. Cell phone coverage is spotty, so even texts are questionable. We played board games, took our time making meals, walked the beach, and just.slowed.down.

Spring Has Almost Sprung

The calendar says it is now spring, but here in NW Washington State, that only means it is finally staying light longer. It can still frost for another 3 weeks. But the signs are starting to show. The first dandelions are showing their color, the vegetable starts are getting a few inches tall now, but the real sign that spring is almost here is the first mowing of the year.

Chore-Medley

Maybe this helps you look in the mirror as well, or at least lets you know that the mundane is still a requirement.

Grow Station…Assemble!

The shelving unit now gave me a spot for the mats and to store all the extra pots, soil and a couple of tools. Plus I could hang the grow lights from the shelves…

My wife and I have purchased a rambler on 5 acres, which kicks off a new chapter in our lives.
