Took a fabulous, fast trip 1/2 way across the US to see the Pacific, Portland, and a random pig. Road trips with teen age drivers - yes! More please!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Small, local bookstore window with “We are FRIENDS of IMMIGRANTS” sign in the window.

Guess which bookstore I supported today? Hint, the other one didn’t have this sign and isn’t pictured.

Our local Women in GIS group finally has enough interest that, IMHO, to apple to become a chapter! #gischat

Day 7, we came home to 11 of the big trucks w lifts on them in a .5 mile stretch of road that centered on our driveway. Our well transformer wasn’t missing; buried in snow. AND I found our mail and packages that hadn’t been delivered in a week. Ending this week much better than it started.

We are finally back on the grid. The blizzard last week took out our power for 6 straight days, mostly out on day 7 - 9 too. Water back on the end of day 8. Luckily it wasn’t super cold or hot and we met a great electrician that is happy to do work in our area. 🎉

Searching “dk self striping” on Etsy brought up several for me.
I got some of this recently.
Colourlab DK by West Yorkshire Spinners. No nylon, but it’s the toothier stuff and I think it will wear well.
I have some stash from Tiny Human Knits and Must Stash - both those can be hit or miss.

I absolutely adore paying full price for emergency epinephrine. 🙄 Thanks big pharma!
If anything you’d think we could get a multi-family member discount.

Tiny and fast. Also very cute.

Yes, absolutely procrastinating.

Blizzard Warning. Thankful for the NOAA folks doing the work. 🙌🏻 Not looking forward to PM chores. I should have hauled hay this AM. 🤦🏼‍♀️

A goat nibbles on the side of my face.

Goat selfie.

Trying to take new baby pictures and last years babies wouldn’t let me be.

Me too Lewis! Me too.

Boy and girl, although I cannot remember which is which now. It’s always such a relief to have a new mom who is responsive and happy to be a mom. That’s what matters. 💕 Clean, dry, and fed.

Little goat eyes the camera.

Happy “I ain’t spending a dime today”’day

Shit’s been stupid lately and I KNOW there are so many that have it worse. I’ve got nothing but very long strings of obscenities.

Two bald eagles in a tree

Now two

Bald Eagle sits in a tree.

There’s a Bald Eagle sitting in the tree above our chicken barn. It’s a massive bird. I don’t mind it coming to visit if it takes one of our many roosters.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

You’ll have report back. How was it?

Our house has the flu.

The second in this series is starting now!

To whom it may concern:
The Gulf of Mexico is bordered by the US, Mexico, and Cuba, but most of its coastline belongs to Mexico...

U.S.: About 47% (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida)

Mexico: About 53% (Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo)

I’ve been wondering, but haven’t had a chance to look this up. 🙌🏻

Mama bear wrestling with her cub. She's got him by the rear paw, nibbling on his toes I guess. They're in spring grass with a tree on the left.

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it.

So we moved over to blue sky.

Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-)
