No generator? No problem.

Like much of California, we were hit by PG&E’s Public Safety Power Shutoff this weekend. While there’s plenty to grumble about with regards to PG&E, it’s not going to help get the power back on.

No generator? No problem.

Winter Garden

It is mid-January and I have been slowly, and peacefully, planting our winter garden. The biggest struggle right now is keeping the slugs and snails away.

Patience

Patience is trying to convince your mini-donkey that she does, in fact, want to cross the threshold of the barn stall and then climb into the trailer.

Thanksgiving Barn Projects

Over Thanksgiving Break, the kids and I spent some time getting the tack room and one stall in the barn operational.  I’d hoped to get two stalls up and running, but I can’t install all the plywood until the electrical is in and inspected.
