With luck, the rabbits should begin nesting. I have been working on the hutch, pulling the arbor back upright and bracing it in place, but I need to build new cages. The gardens are doing […]]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:31:14 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwKJuTmE1r2dOCYLRV9rXSzy?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwJaNNvh2lDipzvGzJAE9q-y?utm_source=follow.it   6/16/26 6:45 66F (18.8C) The sun is up, the sky is blue, the birds are singing. Amy is sleeping. The dog is barking, cherry cannons boom at irregular intervals. My tea is strong and piping hot.

Sprayers are whining, birds are singing. Walter is up at the fence, barking. The chickens are still cooped up. I can hear the rooster chasing them around inside the henhouse,  insisting on his due. Good morning.                     […]]]> Mon, 15 Jun 2026 15:57:23 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwL_jTIo70HErQnFCzTaAsyb?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwKXutJo49pteUUS5weGHdGT?utm_source=follow.it   6/14/26 5:30 53F (11.6C) A faint breeze ripples the leaves of a birch then disappears. A jet cracks the morning quiet, rumbling through a filigree of clouds stretched across blue sky. It disappears to the west, leaving no trace of its passage, not even a contrail. A robin sings. The rooster crows. Good morning.

There is no wind. It is a relatively quiet Saturday morning. A plane drones by. The dog pauses his barking. The chatter of birds singing, squawking, and chirping fills that empty space. Good morning.             […]]]> Sat, 13 Jun 2026 16:32:19 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwKWA8TGi6Sf9MWhxlEUZi1M?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwLKxyCBKTlG78LE__uAA4ww?utm_source=follow.it     6/12/26 6:00 50F (10C) Clear sky, no wind. Another beautiful blue sky day. The dog is baying at the neighbors  and a cherry cannon is booming somewhere over by Middle Mountain. I am drinking ice tea this morning. The power winked off at 5:59. Not unexpected; we had at least three phone calls […]]]> Fri, 12 Jun 2026 15:46:47 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwLKxyCBKTlG78LE__uAA4ww?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwJAql-wv5kgNS2cNPfeqBFb?utm_source=follow.it     6/11/26 6:00 44F (6.66C) The sky is as blue as a robin’s egg. Not a breath of wind stirs the sun dappled leaves on the maple. The corn has grown three inches since yesterday. Good morning.                                   […]]]> Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:01:13 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwJAql-wv5kgNS2cNPfeqBFb?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwKM1Efovcsr7u-PSKLsMD7N?utm_source=follow.it     6/10/26 6:30 51F (10.5C) A faint breeze sways the willows and birch. The sun is up in a blue sky bordered by clouds. I watch a jay chase a squirrel through the oak canopy. Walter has joined the canine gossip, barking his contributions from the fence corner out front. We haven’t seen Sheila […]]]> Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:10:27 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwKM1Efovcsr7u-PSKLsMD7N?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwIzxGtM9gnHunrBk5QF6zyI?utm_source=follow.it   6/9/26 6:15 52F (11C) Blustery,  gray and damp. The waning crescent moon hangs in a patch of blue, showing through the torn fabric of clouds, rent by a belligerent west wind. The rain has paused but I expect it to resume at any moment. There was a chorus of frogs this morning,  the first […]]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2026 16:18:19 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwIzxGtM9gnHunrBk5QF6zyI?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwLbisbXPJtm0nXE1_pr51G-?utm_source=follow.it     6/8/26 6:30 50F (10C) Calm, cloudy, no wind, no precipitation.  Yesterday it dried out. More rain is predicted today, but there is none at this moment. Birds call to each other under a sky the color of lint. The neighbor’s dog started yapping and Walter sternly rebuked him. I hear a log truck […]]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:08:07 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwLbisbXPJtm0nXE1_pr51G-?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwL2FjKXxiR5gHOOsbhUF-0y?utm_source=follow.it     6/7/26 6:15 46F (7.7C) Cloudy but still. It rained off and on all day yesterday, sometimes hard. It stormed last night. This morning there is no rain and no wind, but there is a big limb off the maple laying across the deck. Somewhat improbably, there doesn’t appear to be any damage. It […]]]> Sun, 07 Jun 2026 15:52:11 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwL2FjKXxiR5gHOOsbhUF-0y?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwLE1QuvVE5p_Mzy4Mi_i3JL?utm_source=follow.it   6/6/26 6:30 49F (9.4C) Cloudy,  calm. The sun is up. It is a quiet Saturday morning. The birds chat with each other in subdued voices. The clouds overhead move to the east in a steady, orderly procession. There is no wind on the ground.

I slept  late. The sun is over the ridge. A brisk breeze blows through the oaks, shuffling leaves like a deck of cards. Walter is barking at the neighbor’s dog. Sheila Kitty is critiquing my tea. Traffic is rushing towards town with an air […]]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:56:18 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwLu97OzzO6cXmrsb1yf7rO_?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwIgsaGEIsfnepgVK6oWe-4F?utm_source=follow.it     6/4/26 5:00 50F (10C) Light breeze on the ground. A few scattered clouds drift across an otherwise clear, blue sky. To the east,  a yellow tinge betrays the sun clawing its way over the ridge. The moon, waning gibbous,  has just dropped behind Willow Flat. Crows argue contentiously, but the other birds ignore […]]]> Thu, 04 Jun 2026 15:05:05 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwIgsaGEIsfnepgVK6oWe-4F?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwJLEEwFNKz_eGtTB3uCJS-k?utm_source=follow.it 6/3/26 7:00 Overcast with a light breeze and random sprinkles. It is about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. We kept a fire going in the lodge all night and it was nice and toasty when I finally got up.

David made squirrel bread for breakfast,  notable not only because it was good, but because my brother never bakes.                                 […]]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2026 01:24:58 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwLUnmLxYahOhDiYE-5VYhRG?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwLsE9fpJrZy3dOQcXoLcVCz?utm_source=follow.it     6/1/26 5:30 44F (6.66C) Clear, blue sky,  no wind. The full moon has set,  the sun is waiting just behind Snakehead Ridge. High temperatures forecast above 80F (26.6C) for the next three days. I am packed.

Yesterday’s winds have blown themselves out. A gauze of white clouds is drawn across the blue sky like wrinkled cheesecloth. Terry and Dave loaded the tipi poles on the truck for me yesterday,  and I procured provisions. Hopefully I can organize and pack the rest of the gear […]]]> Sat, 30 May 2026 17:25:13 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwKOLn_umB4VjrzpO9v2uIrM?utm_source=follow.it https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/hXV07uyPQwKgCAJLCumwmaDlCik7Jqnc?utm_source=follow.it     5/29/26 5:00 55F (12.7C) Blustery, cloudy and wet.
