homesteading in ohio
it’s been a while. updates are hard when the internet is spotty. it’s not that we haven’t had things to update! we’ve been to many places since my last post: we left the california area and headed back through nevada. but not without seeing some fabulous graffiti and abandoned things along the way. stopping at […]
we woke up friday morning all kinds of stressed: would the radiator arrive? would they get it installed today? how much is it going to cost? all things running through our head, and making it impossible to focus on anything else. we left the hotel at 11 (after the kind lady at the front desk did […]
we had no idea how much time we would spend in texas, or, honestly, how much we’d enjoy that time. frankly, I was amazed at the beauty. we’re now stuck so close to the far west border of the state, waiting out a car repair. we’re in a perfectly comfortable hotel (120 channels! free wifi! free […]
we had spent the previous night in a sleepy little texas coastal town called rockport. waking up to the foggy ocean air, and seeing what we had missed coming in under darkness; the palm tree lined streets, the tiny carribean colored houses. after a tiny terrible mishap involving one of us (not me) leaving the […]
the other day while cooking lunch, we noticed a dog wandering around the campground. white and brown, lean; a hunting dog, clearly. she had a tracking collar on (they have a large box with an antennae sticking out of it) and another leather collar. we watched as she got closer and seemed interested in something […]
well it’s been a week. (technically almost two) but, man. we learned a lot on this adventure so far. mainly; we packed too much of the wrong things. should have bought the tent first thing. rain is the enemy. walmart walmart walmart. as much as I hate to say it, walmart has been a lifesaver. […]
heading into the Hudson Valley we were greeted with the stunning beauty that I remembered from living there two years previous. returning here was more than just a place to stop over and see friends, it was type of cleansing; a needed return to put a new memory on the place that had left us […]
this morning we had ‘christmas’–a few days early, as we’re leaving here tomorrow (finally?) for the second mini leg of our journey. last weekend we had second thanksgiving. (although I was holed up in the bedroom under a pile of pillows and medication due to a stress-related migraine situation so only experienced the leftovers….) we’ve […]
I hear people say this all the time. 99% of the time, I’m pretty sure it’s sarcasm. For instance, when my (now former) boss would answer her phone; and in response to what I imagine was the standard, “How are you today?” inquiry she would reply, “Oh, you know, livin’ the dream.” Translated: “I’d rather […]
this morning we had to be up at (early enough to capture this stunning sunrise) to get to yet another doctor’s appointment. (it’s been one of those weeks.) since we were up, though, we made the most of it. we stopped at a local bakery and grabbed some treats; headed down to the Cleveland Metroparks and […]
