the weathered pane: October 2011
http://theweatheredpane.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Monday, October 3, 2011. I'm going to be warm this winter! Woo hoo Woo hoo! That's me, doing the happy dance! For years, my hubby and I have had discussions of an alternative heat source for the house. When we moved into this house, there was electric heat and a Monitor stove. We knew we wouldn't be using electric heat and the Monitor was old and not efficient. Look at him go! This i...

If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Sunday, April 28, 2013. I lied when I posted on the 22nd that we were well on our way to Spring. Well, we're well on our way to SOMETHING. but it isn't Spring! This weekend brought 6" of new snow and today it's seriously snowing some more. ENOUGH ALREADY! But look at this. even the slugs are confused! Saturday, April 27, 2013. In the midst of all this sadness and worry that seems to ...

the weathered pane: An Uncommon Juneau Summer
http://theweatheredpane.blogspot.com/2013/06/an-uncommon-juneau-summer.html
If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Tuesday, June 18, 2013. An Uncommon Juneau Summer. Summer in Juneau is typically, shall we say, wet? I read in the paper the other day that the average temp for Juneau in June is 62 degrees. For the past couple weeks it's been in the high 70's AND 80's! Our skin. Our brain. Our bodies. Good weather in Juneau is iffy on a good year. So when the sun comes out, so do the people! Today I...

the weathered pane: First King Salmon
http://theweatheredpane.blogspot.com/2013/06/first-king-salmon.html
If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Monday, June 17, 2013. There's nothing quite like the first taste of the season of fresh King Salmon. Melt.in.your.mouth.good. With oils oozing out of the flesh, onto the plate, ready to be wiped up with a piece of French bread. Yep, eating at its finest. Then the waiter stopped at our table and asked how it was. do I dare say, "overcooked"? I stumbled for a second, then I stuck my f...

If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Monday, June 24, 2013. Today I Turn 61. I really don't much care for birthdays. I'm not one of those who will celebrate all week long. It's not that I hate getting older because I don't. I just don't like being the center of attraction. No But that's neither here nor there. Being 61 is okay. My son gets a fire going in the pit. We're hoping the smoke will keep the bugs away. I became...

the weathered pane: July 2011

If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Friday, July 29, 2011. We've been having a lot of rain this week, real Fall weather. So it seemed like a good time to make a batch of seafood chowder. If you know me, a "batch" isn't a small pot, perfect for the two of us for a meal. It means a large stock pot, maybe even overflow, perfect for sayyyyyy 10-12 people! Then I skipped a couple steps and now you see the bacon frying.

the weathered pane: Laundry Day
http://theweatheredpane.blogspot.com/2013/06/laundry-day.html
If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Thursday, June 20, 2013. Growing up, I remember laundry day when my mom would hang the laundry outside to dry. But it never dawned on me, as an adult, to do it. Maybe it's because we don't have hot summers or a lot of sunny days. There's something comforting in hanging laundry outside to dry. I don't know why that is, maybe because it takes me back to the basics. This is how ...Befor...

If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Friday, February 15, 2013. Yes, I know that Valentine's Day is over for another year but I've been giving it a lot of thought these past few weeks and it's still on my mind. My parents had a rough marriage. They seemed so unhappy and miserable and you often wondered why they stayed married. They fought something horrible and often times it was ugly. Sunday, February 10, 2013. What I ...

If these panes could talk, what would they say about the family that lived inside? Living the cottage life, Alaskan style! Sunday, September 4, 2011. Fall is hitting us head on! The leaves are falling. It's windy. The days of all daylight are turning into shorter days with less daylight. Pretty soon we'll be winterizing our gardens and tidying up the place in preparation for winter. Then I can sit back and read. Some of my other favorite reads are books that are centered around cooking, like Francesca's ...
