I walked down 34 wooden stairs to the bridge, spanning the lagoon to take these pictures. I love capturing nature at its most breathtakingly beautiful moments. 10/29/25

Made it to Queen's Keep yesterday and spent the day at the library, town hall, and exploring the forest. Last year, the fallen tree was twice this length and hung up in the trees, making it a magical arch to walk under. It's amazing how nature is so destructive. Loki's chilling in the leaves.

This is the motto I try to live by because you never know what someone else is going thru. This pouch also holds lidocaine patches and only comes out when I'm in a lot of pain.
Only s'posed to use 3 @ a time, but today is a 4 day. Paraffin hand dunking/ treatment is next. Oh, the pain 😢 never ends

Going solar in small ways first. Jackery Explorer 240 charges our phones and most other batteries - YardWorx, dog collar, etc
Looking into small roof mounted wind turbines and Solatubes, too.
Electricity rates are increasing and income is not.

Made the mistake of scrolling thru FB to check on my USN peeps. SMH, why, oh, why do I do that? Just makes me sad...
So here's a pic of a Monarch butterfly snacking on my asters this afternoon. Took this thru the glass door.

This is the 1st time ever that we're making grape juice! I'm used to making jam - this is very finicky and time-consuming. Yay, @slow-n-steady.bsky.social for being such a great helper!

#gardening - if you don't bleed, you're not doing it right!
Used the apple picker to grab a beautiful red apple off the top of the tree. Opened extension lock and my finger was caught between the sections when the top slammed down, making a half inch divot. Too bad the apple has bird holes in it!

This is a hollow log I cut from a dead tree at Queen's Keep last week. Watch this video and marvel at the flames shooting out of the center of it. @slow-n-steady.bsky.social had 2 hollow logs on the fire, while this one was mesmerizing, the other burned thru the bottom.

The white thing is the black water tank flush hose on our 2024 Forest River camper. Factory defect not found until right before 1 yr warranty expired. Lesson learned, even if dealer says yeah we checked, everything works, crawl underneath & inspection it - esp if it's brand new! Costly mistake

Made it back down to our original camping spot last night. Had a visit from our local friend this morning and he's gonna take out some trees for us so we can park in the original RV spot instead of the right-of-way. Yay!

I got the camper stuck in the clay mud! 45 mins later, our local contact rolled up the drive on a small excavator to help us out. Seems it's been a bit wet up here for this time of year.
