She either went into her husbands blogger and used "Allen" or she started another persona. Who knows? She also has "Lorirae" ---- Well see how much I can gather into one spot.

Perhaps your lack of inspiration is due to your lack of travels, or experiences since you are so necessary to the self-survival farm you & your husband have created. I would imagine a lack of inspiration due to a lack of travel,,, to bad, but not surprising. Isolation has a price, for you it seems it is lack of inspiration for your "work", but then again there is always sharpening the knives to slaughter the goats & bunnies... that is a real necessity in your world. <br />Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002740770723379528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124664423614562161.post-83179415747637086882013-05-31T11:21:06.645-07:002013-05-31T11:21:06.645-07:00This looks like really lovely work - such rich col...This looks like really lovely work - such rich colours.<br /><br /><a href="http://acatlikecuriosity.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Sarah @ A Cat-Like Curiosity</a>Sarah Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147373517910379972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124664423614562161.post-86735769297978582192013-05-26T19:04:47.382-07:002013-05-26T19:04:47.382-07:00Thank you very much Miss Laney, I sure hope it wor...Thank you very much Miss Laney, I sure hope it works it's way through and I come out the other side even better and stronger.

Mostly because it really rains very heavy here during the winter months. Upwards of 200" plus some years. <br /><br />Being on the western side of the Olympic Mountains does not afford the rain shadow effect that the other side of the peninsula gets. Sequim and Port Angeles are absolutely gorgeous and really lovely for a maritime climate, but being even just 50 some miles west and we pretty much get hammered out here. It takes some getting used to. <br /><br />So it sort of depends on how much you can handle. Seattle actually gets less that NY city believe it or not, but most don't know that. 30" is nothing compared to what we get out here. Sequim gets about 15" and Port Angeles about 18". So you can see the effect of that rain shadow. Some of the islands are in the rainshadow as well. So there are some really amazing areas up here in particular that have drastic changes within just a few miles.<br /><br />What area are you looking at as far as "northwest" is concerned? The eastern sides of the states of WA and OR are pretty close to intermountain (Rockies and the Plains) and have more in the way of 4 seasons and a whole lot less rain. Coastal and yeah, rain, but pockets of not so much if you know where to look. <br /><br />Hope this helps a bit, let me know if you have more specific questions as to areas out here, I just might be able to help you out :-)<br /><br />And thanks for dropping in!<br /><br />Christine Wasankarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559594001627451628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124664423614562161.post-62333339056836735562012-09-24T10:22:12.385-07:002012-09-24T10:22:12.385-07:00Hello,

I don't really have enough milk to make cheese anymore, so pretty much just what I've garnered over the course of the last 3 months is what I have left.<br /><br />Barter baby, it's all about barter. I'm not getting onto the radar of a thing at the moment. In a year or two or three when all of this "works" it's way through (hopefully not a decade, egads!) I can actually consider some business enterprise, but until then...nope. I'm stubborn that way. <br /><br />I do not like the way the environment is setting up right now. WA state is pretty cool about most of this stuff...but they did allow the Estrella farm to be raided, so...not happy there at all. And I've been there, a really lovely and very well managed farm.<br /><br />Weird.Christine Wasankarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559594001627451628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124664423614562161.post-16694345111723901492011-08-11T18:40:50.086-07:002011-08-11T18:40:50.086-07:00The goat butter came out so fantastic I just have ...The goat butter came out so fantastic I just have to make more, hence the happy, happy over having 6-7 does to milk next year. I really thought after this first batch, no way, I'm never doing this again. But it actually was easy and I was just second guessing myself (with whey all over the ceiling and floor - I used my mixer. Not a good idea, LOL -- after my blender, and trying the shaking by hand method) But it is divine, especially on sourdough bread. Oh boy...<br /><br />Those rabbit wings...they are as fantastic as they look. And I have two liters I will be moving on through next week. So...about a bucket full, yep! :-)Christine Wasankarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559594001627451628noreply@blogger.com
