| 2/04/2012 A winter storm is forecast for us later this evening and into tomorrow. We have received about a half an inch already and expect more rain before it changes to snow. We have been very dry so all this moisture is welcome. Joe planted garden yesterday. He put in peas, lettuce, beets, spinach, turnips and swiss chard. The little seeds will sit there until it is warm enough for them to germinate. In the past we have had luck with spinach but not lettuce or peas. So time will tell as the saying goes. |

| 1/18/2012 I have had a hard time tearing myself away from the wood stove. Yesterday, I did manage to go outside long enough to carry more wood inside. It was a beautiful evening. The dogs and I went down to the river and watched the evening come on. This is a lovely place to live. |

| 1/17/2012 Well, Happy New Year! It has been awhile since I have written. Winter has been mild and sunny. Today we have a dusting of snow and wind chills in the negative numbers. I walked at sunrise and loved the colors created in the clouds. The pinks were spectacular. I have to admit that I turned around as soon as I cleared the trees. The wind was a bit more than brisk. Maybe painful would be more accurate. |

| 10/12/2011 This morning there is fog shrouding everything here in the river bottom. I was able to see the full Hunter moon when I climbed out of the valley. It was setting in the west as the sun rose in the east. A very striking sight that was available for only a moment. Both the sun and moon were then obscured by wispy clouds. Seeing such things are why I so enjoy getting up early and watching the light come to the day. |

| 10/11/2011 Oh, what a beautiful morning! I walked east as the sun was rising. The sky was mostly covered by clouds. The clouds were an amazing pink that just kept spreading all across the sky. When I turned back west there was a rainbow right where my house was. It was so beautiful. I had to keep turning around to see it for about a half a mile. Finally the rising sun went behind some clouds and the rainbow disappeared. Probably the pot of gold did also. At least it wasn't in the front yard when I got back home. |
