One of the highest tides I’ve ever seen today at mid-day. The new moon’s influence? Wind? Don’t know.
High (really high) tide
Month: October 2020
Rare rain
Steady delicious rain this morning. A good time to put the houseplants outside on the deck for a shower and a deep watering.
Something I can rely on
Shout out to my sourdough starter microorganisms! They have never failed to double overnight when fed ground rye berries and water.
Harvest continues
A busy kitchen this morning with frost on the ground and the woodstove going. The coziness almost mitigated the ominous news about the Supreme Court. I have to keep remembering to return my mind to mutual aid as a principle. Feed the hungry. And take care of the land that feeds us.
First fire of season
Sam built a fire in the woodstove this frosty morning. It was 66 degrees in the house and the forecast is for clouds and rain, so little solar gain expected.
Camp story: loft floor
We were out at camp today to paint a few boards for corner trim. It went quickly. While cleaning up a bit inside, I noticed the loft floor has begun! I’m excited to see it progress and eventually be able to perch up there, even before stairs!
Beautiful fall color at the lake. And the roof peak is a very charming subtle detail.
Community Garden – fall milestone
Last harvest of tomatoes
Camp story: chipping
Saving the harvest
I’m going to roast these yellow Sunrise Bumblebee cherry tomatoes. Then I’m going to make some salsa to freeze with these San Marzano tomatoes and tomatillos. And some Red Rocket peppers.
