Moving to Vancouver Washington: 08/01/2008 - 09/01/2008

http://movingsuz.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Moving to Vancouver Washington. Saturday, August 16, 2008. Back to the Grind. Finally the tree stumps were ground up. This took about six hours. Those filberts had very wide bases (of multiple shoots). Dust was EVERYWHERE! I had to hose off my brand new painted house - but it cleaned off easily. I didn't get a picture, but we discovered standing water in one of the stump holes. So I had a " french drain. Links to this post. July 25 - 28. My niece, Royce is a camp counselor at " Camp Orkila. Leveled my re...

Moving to Vancouver Washington. Saturday, December 27, 2008. Let there be light. It took a few days to adjust from the drama of being snowed in to being in a temperate, dry and sunny climate where traffic moved freely and being outdoors was no big deal. After several nice family Christmas celebrations my friend Rita and I drove over to San Francisco's Ocean Beach - which used to be my back yard. I can take almost as many pictures of sun-splashed waves as I can of mounting snow! Links to this post. I coul...

Moving to Vancouver Washington: Marauders

http://movingsuz.blogspot.com/2009/04/marauders.html

Moving to Vancouver Washington. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. It was so convenient to hang seed and suet feeders for the birds off the trellis. But by the second week in April the squirrels woke up from winter and found all those nuts and suet just waiting for them. S'pose they need food too, but they can empty a feeder in a day or two - that might last over a week for birds. So off to the Backyard Bird Shop. Just so you know, that's a Pine Siskin. That top one just cracked me up! View my complete profile.

Moving to Vancouver Washington: Sourdough starter ...

http://movingsuz.blogspot.com/2009/04/sourdough.html

Moving to Vancouver Washington. Saturday, April 11, 2009. This is what gray, wet days are good for - - baking! Made it sound so easy. Hoy! Maybe for him. This was definitely trial by error. I should explain that I was inspired by a passage in An Omnivore's Dilemm. A about whipping up sourdough starter on the window sill. I used the Boudin Bakery. Website to get started - basically leaving flour and water out to soak up ambient bacteria. Mostly because I just didn't know what to do with it. A Break in the...

Moving to Vancouver Washington. Sunday, April 27, 2008. A Word About Ashland. We'd originally planned to spend 2 nights in Mt. Shasta, but quickly canceled the 2nd night. We winged it and just drove through town until something felt right. Looked interesting. A cancellation freed up a room and they waived their no pets policy for Sophie (who was a complete angel throughout the entire ordeal). Links to this post. Heading North - April 10, 2008. I was sent off with a lot of love! I will be visiting OFTEN.

Moving to Vancouver Washington: Ode to Winter's Passing

http://movingsuz.blogspot.com/2009/04/ode-to-winters-passing.html

Moving to Vancouver Washington. Friday, April 17, 2009. Ode to Winter's Passing. This isn't entirely finished, but I wanted to get this out while it still has some seasonal relevance. Ode to Winter's Passing. Of pink and gold,. Lost are the spare black veins. Etched high against the steely skies,. Of their own concealed. Tints, at first tentative. On winter's chilly cusp. Deepen into bolder hues. I feel giddy and unsteady. To be so newly. And let loose a. I really like this. View my complete profile.

Moving to Vancouver Washington. Sunday, June 08, 2008. It all started with an energy audit. The local utility, Clark PUD. Offers a free energy audit. Overall, the assessor was fairly conservative. He discouraged solid foam insulation and told me my double pane windows were adequate and replacing them would not be cost effective. First culprit, however, was the refrigerator. The original 1990 era Kenmore was not any level of energy star efficiency. Links to this post. Monday, June 02, 2008. There were doz...

ALL ABOUT OREGON: A Fondness For the Dead

http://allaboutoregon.blogspot.com/2012/02/fondness-for-dead.html

Saturday, February 18, 2012. A Fondness For the Dead. It's heartening to run across writers and fellow wanderers who share some of the same interests. Particularly when it's not always easy to convince others that your hobby isn't strange or ghoulish.. Wrote in a recent Oregonian article. That, in the process of visiting almost every cemetery in Oregon, he has learned that. 65279; I've written before about the stories that cemeteries hold- - the flood victims. Children who died before they could walk?
