Saying goodbye to the summer garden

I can't hold off the cold temps much longer and it's going to get below freezing tonight. I harvested the last of what's growing in the garden and covered up what I could with horticultural fleece fabric. 

I picked the last of the flowers of the season. A mix of Nasturtium, goldenrod, and herbs. 

I finished at sunset by picking the mint, catnip, and parsley. 

A pot of parsley and oregano. 

Analog and or Digital?

My friends say I am “analog.” Meaning that I use “old school” technology and I’m not up to speed on all of the latest tech gadgets. For years, I have been interested in off-grid living and using hand-powered tools and technology. Yes, analog and old school. 

I have tried to use electronic calendars. I can use it for work, but for my personal life, I need a paper calendar. 

Are you analog, digital, or both? 


This is my favorite old school calendar system, a Moleskine planner.

Whiners voices

The epic drama whiner, known as "Your Coccyx" has posted another hit piece on me. She used my avatar picture, a real picture of myself linked to this blog, and lied about me. This commenter and blog owner of the cesspool as the disq turns has doxed me on posts at her blog. Now she has added defamation to that. 

This is my photo and my profile picture for this blog. This is me. 

I have a couple of pairs of sunglasses that are the "Kurt Cobain" style oval glasses. I've always kind of been stuck in the 90s and these glasses make me smile. The pair I am wearing, I bought for 25 cents at a garage sale.

You may have seen this picture before if you visit the Coccyx cesspool. It's from Nice Store.  

This is not an artesian knot

No matter how hard I try to not tangle my earbuds, it happens.

It made me think of this, "The Knot Store" from Portlandia. 

If you want to fight do it here....

For Paul and Dan if you want to duke it out here, have at it. Please keep the fighting here and not at the other threads.

What do you do when you're in a bad mood?

I have a glass of wine, meditate, go for a walk or a bike ride, have a fire outside, make stuff, draw, give myself an allotted time for being in a bad mood and then move on. 

I watch funny videos of cats or other stuff to make me smile. I am a huge fan of the University of Minnesota mascot Goldy Gopher and Goldy always makes me smile. 

The video of cats ringing a bell for food always cracks me up. 

Goldy Gopher makes me smile and give me serious giggles. How can you not smile when you see his smiling face and his goofy antics.
