My Links Are Gone! Help!

Ack! My links page is gone! (Click on the “Links” tab above. There are normally dozens of links there, but now it’s all wiped out, except for some generic WordPress links.)
I can still see all the links when I go to edit the page, but no matter how much I edit and re-publish, the page [...]

He’s TWO!

Okay, someone agree with me that it’s INSANE that Asher is two today. Anyone? Because I can hardly believe it.
Here’s a link to his birth story. I just re-read it and got teary eyed. Can’t wait to do it again in a couple of short months! I think mothers feel differently on birthdays than other [...]

Randomness

Wherein I type as my little listy brain desires.

We have lived here over a year now. Whenever I get discouraged by the ups and downs of our first big garden, I remember meals like last night: herb roasted chicken, spaghetti squash, roasted sweet potatoes, baechu kimchi, radish kimchi…all grown on our farm…in addition to rice, [...]

Life Without Water

It isn’t much life at all, I’m learning. There’s not a lot you can do without water! Our well broke this morning. We don’t know why. Thankfully, our home warranty doesn’t run out until Saturday. But unfortunately, the company only has one approved well contractor in our area, and they can’t come out until Monday. [...]

Rosemary’s Up!

Only one artichoke seedling ended up surviving. Two had germinated, but I accidentally beheaded one as I was watering plants the other day. This was sad, but [...]

Rats

Our new front loader (Bosch 500 Plus) is broken. The clothes and water are locked in there, and the machine won’t drain it or let me get in. It keeps telling me “E:13,” very impatiently, and I can’t seem to communicate how very much I’d like to know what that means. At least it’s stopped [...]

Juuuuuuust Kidding.

Not too many minutes after my last post, we realized that our new internet is not so, well, internet-y. We have trouble connecting, and have only been able to pop on for a minute once or twice since then. (And never both computers at once.)
We think that half the problem is with the wireless router [...]

WE HAVE BOUGHT THE INTERNET.

And it’s fast! We had a cable internet installed this morning (without cable television, of course). We get an okay introductory rate for three months, and a rather high monthly rate after that.
Once I get caught up, expect me to blog away. I can’t believe how much I missed blogging!
