At work we do a seasonal Tool Sale. All the used and donated tools, some antiques, some brand new in the box get set aside and saved up for the much awaited day when we announce that we have organized

Life picks up in the spring and I have the tendency to give my attention to too many endeavors. My energy becomes dispersed so thinly between a high number of dreams and opportunities that I lose my power

We made homemade sushi. We made homemade chocolate. And now we're watching crypto interviews... with whipped cream... Good V-Day I guess (; Hope yours was too! images sourced from:

Trill Dog, our best friend and companion, just had a birthday! She's 11 years old! Happy Birthday Trill, Thanks for being the best dog I could ever hope for!

We hurried down to Tucson last weekend to check out Gem and Jam, a music festival that goes on in the Southwest around the Tuscon Gem and Mineral show. On our way down (a 14 hour trip) we stopped at one

Day 3 of training was all about plants, trees, and forestry… I learned a heck of a lot and have been spewing out interesting facts on hikes for the past week. I remembered to take picures in class this

We get in simply with the “We’re Volunteers” line and wristbands find their way onto ours. People are kind to us through the stress of will call. I walk through security unscathed. Beautiful wild dreads

We did a lot last weekend. Drove all the way down to Tucson in fact! And my favorite part was probably this hike. I hope my pictures can give you a little bit of the awe that I got that day. The sun shinning

We raced back to Tucson so I could make it to this event. It was only from 1-3 on Sunday and I really wanted to go and see my friend who is the ranch’s master blacksmith. I’m hoping he can be my in into

I’m lucky enough to work outside most days and I get to experience some gorgeous sunsets over the Rocky Mountains. I know that pictures of sunsets never do them justice but I figured I’d share anyways

We’ve had this shitty shallow two sided stainless steel sink since the beginning of eternity. Most houses around her actually have this sink. I think it was the original one used when development and

So we live in Boulder and I’ve been a landlord for just about 10 years now. I mean I’ve been the type of landlord who lives with my tenants because there is no way in hell I could own my home without roommates

Always gotta check the cool old boxes… this one had some charm… And a bunch of antique tools inside… Always gotta share a door… I thought this one was a real charmer… An odd box… I love to go through these

Life is tiring when you find yourself in the midst of chaos again and you’ve gotta pull it back, reel it in, find a way to organize it again even as you know it’ll slip out of the order and in a month

Along with that smaller vanity there came a huge hand carved double vanity… Alright, Alright… I know you want to see the details… Oh and it came with an old skeleton key… How rare is that! This one is

Honestly I can’t keep up with everything that we get here at our little junk yard. So many cool things and there is a magic to it too. For instance the day after I went to my first blacksmithing demo,

We didn't stop in the town of Taos. We were in too much of a hurry to get on our way but I did get some quick pics out the window... I was honestly pretty suprised at how many trees there were. I had imagined

We’re literally on the road right now. Rob’s driving. Satashi is asleep on his lap... The dogs are snoring in the back, tired after a hike in Taos earlier today. We boondocked outside Walsenburg and woke

We’re heading out tomorrow night to Tucson, Arizona for a few days to go to the Gem and Jam Music Festival! It’s gonna be a wild weekend because it’s a 14 hour drive there and back and we’ve got a lot

If you don’t know about the 10 week training I’m taking to become a Volunteer Naturalist for the County of Boulder Parks and Open Space Department, you might want to check out my first post about it here.
