Monday Night Storm





(There's a house behind this tree.)

It really is dark without electricity. I finally understand why people used to go to bed at sunset.

  1. Oh my gosh --- is that your roof, Karen? It looks exactly like what happened to the Squash House during last years January wind storm! I hope everyone is OK and that the roof isn't damaged!
    Take care!

  3. Wow! Looks really bad I didn't even think about knowing someone that may have damage. I guess I'm a really bad friend. Do you need anything?

  4. Hi Karen,
    What a terrible storm that you had- all those beautiful big trees. We had a similar storm here on the weekend with over 50 trees in the city destroyed and counting...
    We were fortunate and didn't have any on our property but our niece was less so and they lost one large tree. To complicate matters, they are away in Eastern Canada so her brother in law was able to help them out.
    Mother Nature sure can raise havoc, can't it?
    Hope you are having a nice summer and enjoying some good times with your kids.
    Regards,
    Anna

  5. Holy Cow, Karen! Hope you didn't sustain any damage.

    Amazing that whole, big trees were uprooted!

  6. Oh my goodness! I didn't know that the storm was so bad in some areas of town. We had a little hail but nothing like the damage you had! I hope you are all okay!

  7. Hope everything's ok with you guys. As I've been driving around town I notice these weird areas of heavy damage, right next to completely untouched places. Must have been some not-so microbursts from that storm.

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?  

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!
