The humans at Seven Trees have lived in the Pacific Northwest for many years, with sojourns in Montana & eastern WA. After experiencing city and rural life, we chose a balance of both in lovely Whatcom County, WA. We are trying to find out just how much 1.25 acres can provide by way of sustainable food production, as well as dust off some old time farming practices in doing so. Researching and practicing old-fashioned farm skills and raising heritage farm animals is a way to preserve both. Our goal is to keep old fashion homestead, and other skills alive by learning them ourselves and sharing them here with others.
Here's our little power outage protector. Inspired by hurricane-force winds this week, we just bought a lovely little generator. This cutie will power most of what we need to survive a nor'easter or pineapple express.

Stella looks quite fabulous in her new hat.
As for your new toy, did you have to wait in line overnight at the Best Buy--or make that Lowe's-- to get one?
Hope you get your computer on the mend, or a suitable replacement. What a yuck!
We have a local dealer for Honda generators that ordered in quite a few over the weekend. So we waited a bit, but were able to just pick it up all ready to go. We could have got one sooner, but there were other folks who didn't even have a borrowed one like we did.
Even though I have a handicapped parking pass, if I'm having a good day and blue spots are scarce, I park in the regular spaces to leave the easy ones for the folk in wheelchairs or having a bad day for their disability. Same idea.

That's kind of you, to wait.
