 Happy Palm Sunday!

  • The flowers I couldn't quite identify the other day seem to be pansies.  One was much more open and easy to see today.  I could be wrong...



  • One of today's goals was to move the chickens outside.  Since we moved in the middle of winter with a frozen, snowy ground, they have been in an out building (what I like to call the Firehouse).  Most of their coop was moved outside today.  The chickens are still inside the Firehouse, though.  Some supplies are needed that were not realized beforehand.  The big stuff got moved thanks to some folks coming by to help.
The building on the left is part of the Firehouse.   That little building on the right is for the chickens.  It is far from the house.

Some of the chickens.


  • We still aren't completely moved in.  There is so much stuff.  Many boxes were moved out of a storage box and into parts of the house today.  My bed still has boxes on it for me to move before I go to bed.  I'm too tired to go through it all.  I found some cool things that are very old.  

    The back of this photo let me know that I apparently have been to Acadia National Park in August of 1965.  I guess that means I can't say that it is someplace that I always wanted to visit anymore.  🤣

  • Random sky pictures because I like to look up.

Birka Day Two

 January 24th Intention for the day: Look for the positive/proactive side in all the exchanges possible. Here are some happy things from today: Much of the early part of my day was spent volunteering at the event.  I also attended a meeting for exchequers (treasurers).  There is a possibility that I will be doing that again. I got to spend a little bit of time with my new protégés.  They both know that I want them to update their information on their wiki pages.   I ended up having a lot of fun with a friend who tried to steal a French fry from me.  It became a lovely game of trying to get a snack without the other noticing.  During court this afternoon some wonderful people were given awards for their deeds.  One of these people is a dear friend and the current Seneschal of our Barony.  He was made a Member of the Order of the Mark.  This is a new peerage level award in the SCA.  Here is a link that describes the current peer ...

Happy 2026

 You found it! January 1st. Welcome to a new year of me looking for happiness and gratitude within my day. Thank you for being here. I'm going to try to make a small change to my life habits and I'm going to attempt to bring that to my daily blog.   A recent video I saw was about habits to add to a morning to make a happier life. One of these suggestions was to start the day with an intention. That should mean something mindful or positive. It might turn into a goal for me as I tend to be practical so my mind works that way more. One intention for today was going to include getting out for a walk. As the wind blows and the temperature drops, I'm debating that. That is also more like a goal. The other was to do something different that I might not otherwise do. Writing an intention down before my day starts and trying to follow-through will be part of this. I hope you join me as I attempt to build this new habit. The above was written after a nice breakfast out ...

Sunrise Spectacular

Some happy things from today: Since I was up in the middle of the night this morning I decided to try to be a little productive and did laundry.  I had expected to be the only one awake but I wasn't.  I'm happy that I was able to get my laundry in and out before it had an impact on any of the other ten people in the house.   A bonus for getting up early was to get to see a spectacular before-the-storm sunrise. There were other things I thought I would do today, most didn't happen.  Instead I brought Gideon to school and one of our housemates to take their driving test.  The driving test was scheduled at a DMV about an hour away.  We left early so we could practice some things before the test.  We found a mostly abandoned parking lot and practiced parallel parking.  It was a good time.  Things out of my mouth concerning our “pretend” on street parking included, “Well, you're on the sidewalk,” and “Great, but you're still half in the stree...
