Memorial Day
Have a safe Memorial Day. The picture above is my Dad in Germany in WW II.
Is It Always Raining In the Northwest?
The short answer is that it depends on where you live. Like many other places, there is a season that brings more rain and there is a period of little rain. One of the keys to living on the Kitsap Peninsula, as we do, is to be in or near the rain shadow from the […]
Luna, Our Newest Family Member
On January 11, 2018, I met Rose and Alicia at the Kitsap Humane Society to take a look at a dog named Angelica that Rose spotted on their webpage. I was there on time, and they were late, almost so late that we would miss adopting her until the next day. Luckily, the staff was nice enough […]
Such a Cutie. We named her Luna
These are photos of Luna of the past few days. She has been a great new friend to all of us. She has to keep the cone until this Thursday and then the stitches will be removed. It’s clear that she has some spunk and will really enjoy going on hikes with Rose and Alicia. […]
New Family Member Welcomed Home
So today at work, Rose sends me the picture shown above of an older puppy at the Kitsap Humane Society. She’s an older dog, estimated to be about seven. They gave her the name Angelica, but we are going to change it. Alicia is coming up with all sorts of names. She is settling in […]
A Very Sad Day
Today was a very sad one as we said goodbye to our best friend and companion Bella. She went downhill so very fast over the past week. She had stopped eating and we could tell she was in pain, but she never complained. The experience is still too traumatic to write much more, but she […]
Pruning the Blackberries
Today was a dry day so we pruned the Blackberries on the north boundary of the property. Since there was so much waste I dug a small pit with the backhoe and we burned the trimmings. All three of us worked this effort. I also pulled out a stump and a couple of plants to […]
Modem Damaged
So the power was off yesterday for a few hours and the generator was on (yes, we have a whole house automatic-starting generator that came with the house). When the power came back on everything except for our cable modem was ok. It must have received a power surge. I picked up a new one […]
Power Off
This is the first power outage of this Fall. Really isn’t that windy outside but it has rained about two inches over the past two days. The generator is on and we are functioning as normal\. We are under a high wind warning until 2100 tonight.
