Mud

It’s muddy. And warmish.
Yes, yes, I’m obliged to repeat “of course it’s going to snow again,” and “we’re not out of the woods yet,” and all manner of Spring naysayings. You’re not really allowed to mention nice weather around here until well into May. (Someone actually sort of freaked out on me a little bit [...]

The Stats

Most folks just surf right on it to The Pines, or arrive via a link.
But some do arrive here via search engines. I always like to review what folks have come to my blog searching for – the stats are always interesting, and sometimes good for a laugh, besides. (Do we just love that “crap [...]

I am the Eggman

(Redux.)
Well, the eggs are flowing like water. One day, I got five eggs out of five hens! We’re averaging about three a day. (If you know me well enough, you have assumed by now that I have a spread sheet that adds the totals per week and calculates averages.) I’m totally into the chickens as [...]

Bloggers & Tweeters Unite!

Today!
Okay Adirondack Bloggers, Twitterers, and Friends, let’s roll this thing ADK style. I’ve been talking to Tour Pro at Adirondack Base Camp and Bill at High Peaks Resort about organizing a Tweet-Up/Adirondack Blogger Meet-up. In fact, we’ve got one planned.
How does this sound for cool? A TweetUp/MeetUp outdoors, overlooking Mirror Lake, on the deck at [...]

Here to There

Heading out for the Adirondack sheddycabin tomorrow!
Tomorrow is my last day as a church organist, and today is my last day as an adjunct teacher at my Catholic high school. Heading over to the students’ juried art show (mostly to be supportive), then a performance of Little Shop of Horrors, church service in the morning, [...]

On an Even Keel

Well, yeah.
I’ve been skipping blogging days here, but I figure that multiple entires about packing would be about as exciting as an essay on my exploits in nail-hole patching. I’m not much of a filler sort of person anyway. I like to have something juicy or fun to mention when I post.
Things are good here. [...]

Everywhere Almanack

Well, golly. I suppose there is a possibility that you might not know that it is Adirondack Almanack’s 4th birthday, but honestly I don’t know how you could have missed it. Maybe if you were hiding under a rock? Nah, news would have reached you even there. Evidently, no stone has been left unturned -

My Love for Caustic Chemicals

Well, I love lye, at least.
I guess I need to qualify that. I adore real, old-fashioned lye soap. (Did you know that the supermarket bar stuff is actually not soap? It isn’t.) I like a nice, tough, serious soap. Homemade lye soap (we call it Farm Soap) is my absolute favorite.
I recently won a little [...]

Sneaky Pines

I’m not good with regular blog programming – like to be a little bit more free form. However, I had an idea and thought it would be fun to post now and then, if not exactly weekly.
When we were first discovering the Adirondacks, one of the things I noticed was this – The guidebooks, for [...]

I Win.

Okay, I am going to declare it. You all know that I am generally a team player. But this time, I’m calling the game in my favor. That is, I officially have the weirdest, most unfortunate, most laugh-out-loud blog search results. Not exactly Rated XX, but they’re sort of fun in a PG13 way.
There are [...]
