living the simple life in Kentucky , surrounded by nature, down a long drive that's not for the timid. Enjoy the company of animals, usually more than people. Liberal to the core. Vegan, atheist, aging hippie.

this is real, this is "Murderous Mary" look it up. Some humans are no more, no less despicable than they ever were. But some are beautiful and kind and we must never lose sight of that.

I just had to put down my 17 year old fur fellow a few days ago. I keep forgetting he's no longer in his favorite spots. They stay in your heart. My condolences.

the thing about getting older is everyone around you is doing the same. This sweet girl has been hanging around, begging for treats for years. Look how grey she's getting!

treasure from trash. Grew a pineapple from the top of a store bought fruit.

50 years ago, celebrating the Bicentennial, life was so full of promise. Never could have imagined where this country is today. I won't be around for the Tricentennial, if there is one, but I hope for a much brighter future.

all those potatoes are ready. Ways to prepare them, let me count the ways. Fries tonight, Off-Grid Grandpa throws in the towel first, "please can't we have rice?", but I grew up on potatoes and never get tired of them.

planting potatoes today, probably 300ish hills. If you've never had fresh dug potatoes you've missed out. Wacko weather has them going in a little late, old photo.

woke to the sound of snapping tree limbs, big ones. Still sleeting, very slow chores this morning. I think Mother Nature has had enough.

I don't think people are talking enough about the Northern Lights last night. A spectacular reminder of how beautiful this universe is.

always sad to see the first hard freeze, going to miss the blooms, butterflies, and bees.

homesteading life is lonely, but since it has become essential to my sanity to cut soulless people from my life, including family, it is painful. Not what I thought life would be. Hope is fragile.

this white masked Mama has been coming around for handouts for 4 summers now. First photo from 2021, second from today. You can see she's aged, but at least 5 is not young for a wild raccoon. They lose a lot of fear when they have nursing young. I hope she comes around next year.

I just picked this big (20#?) watermelon from my garden. Puppy for scale. Held it with both arms against my chest and didn't notice the Black Widow on it right away. Didn't faze me though. Reading my feed? That's scary.

I grew a papaya tree from seed from a papaya I got from the store. This is in my little attached greenhouse in Kentucky. Doesn't stay real warm in the winter, but apparently warm enough. This is the second year of producing good edible fruit. It's not much but should keep me from getting scurvy.
