Right now.

Outside.
 
Seriously, am I in the Mid-Atlantic in June? You wouldn't know it from today's weather: a perfect mix of cool breezes, warm sunshine, and low humidity. Good spring so far. Keep it comin', Mother Nature!


Inside.
 

The above snap is a beautiful pink vinegar made with chive blossoms. The recipe comes courtesy of master canner Marissa McClellan over at food in jars. Try it -- it's delightful!

Ce soir.

Ce que j'écoute.

Daydreaming.

All this reading about wilderness and homesteading has only fueled my desire for a little bunky somewhere distant, isolated, rough. Like Vermont, say, or Maine. Somewhere close to Canada, somewhere with some land, room to breathe, a lack of things like people and pollution and human-made noise.

How's about these?

 rustic and in need of some help, under $60K, 1.5 acres, with this view

:::

 cute A-frame on 1.4 acres, move-in ready, with requisite babbling brook

:::

now THIS is a distinct possibility, $35K land, $60K w/cabin, in ME

::

not a cabin but the house I really want: circa-1860 farmhouse for about $80K 

Someday.

Fox.

Beyond the poplars, in a dense stand of spruce, Garrett arranged the animal in the snow at the base of a tree. He broke off evergreen boughs and laid them over it. He hoped it would snow again soon.

You are the one who killed my fox.
