  • Waterfowl at the Edge of the Ice March 23, 2023
    Overcast with occasional light rain. Temperatures in the 40s and breezy. I went out for a bit this afternoon.

  • Sun on the Mountains, Birds on the Water March 22, 2023
    Mostly sunny, becoming overcast. Light raining begining this evening. Calm winds. I was not feeling too ambitious today. I did go out to Silver Bay. I didn’t see much action out there on the water. Snow has been shedding a bit on the slopes above treeline. Clouds were beginning to form over the mountains. I […]

  • 2017 Garden Wrap-Up September 19, 2017
    Well, 2017 was not a good garden year in my area, even for those of us with greenhouses/high tunnels.  I'm sure I didn't help my chances at all; we had a month between returning home from the States and getting the roof on the high tunnel, and I didn't start any seeds or work the […]
