https://ultrathon.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/spring-is-coming
Winter Garden, Free Range Hens, Honeybees in February and Playin’ my Fiddle. I haven’t posted lately, or for that matter read or commented on anyone else’s blogs. I’ve been busy with a number of other things, but alas not with running or with posting in this blog. Now the days are just a little longer, the sun is just a little higher. We are really looking forward to our first taste of the lush-green goodness of spring…. This weekend, I planted my onion and leek seeds in flats to sprout and grow in a sun...

Ole Joe Clark |
https://ultrathon.wordpress.com/2013/02/10/ole-joe-clark
Here’s another fiddle tune which I’ve been learning: “Old Joe Clark.”. Either click on the photo above or click here to listen to the video. The back up guitar that you hear is from the excellent website “Old Time Jam.”. 8220;Old Joe Clark” is an old mountain ballad from Kentucky and is one of the more popular traditional old time fiddle songs. Around that time there was popular tune which did not have lyrics, so some started making up rhymes to be sung with the tune. Others claim that the ballad cam...

Hoop House Finished! (Almost!) |
https://ultrathon.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/hoop-house-finished-almost
I have gardened in many regions around the country: Nevada, Wyoming, Wisconsin and now western South Dakota- not to mention participating in my family’s garden as a child on the east coast. I’ve found that western South Dakota is actually one of the more gardening-friendly climates (except for the hail! Although we do get occasional cold blasts from the north in the winter- these usually are only for a few days at the most. When Lead/Deadwood is getting feet of snow, we might get only an inch or two.

Spring is here (and then it wasn’t) |
https://ultrathon.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/spring-is-here-and-then-it-wasnt
Spring is here (and then it wasn’t). The last few weeks we’ve had some sunny warm days in the 60s and 70s. The bluebirds have returned, as have the robins. The grass is turning green, the tulips are sprouting, and the daffodil buds are almost ready to bloom. My bees are good girls! Last weekend, I tilled in the composted manure and prepared our raised beds . I planted my peas planted as well as my outside spinach. A slight frost won’t hurt them. Planting season has begun! When cold weather came, I covere...

Ashokan Farewell |
https://ultrathon.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/ashokan-farewell
This song goes out to Jeanne…. my beautiful bride, the mother of my son, my best friend and the love of my life. Those of you who were at our wedding may remember it as our wedding song. You may also recognize it as the theme song for the Ken Burns 1990 PBS television miniseries, “. Sounds as if it were a traditional tune that was played at the time of the Civil War, it was actually composed composed by Jay Ungar in 1982. But it’s coming along….

Wyoming Double Marathon 52.4 Mile |
https://ultrathon.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/wyoming-double-marathon-52-4-mile
Wyoming Double Marathon 52.4 Mile. After Zumbro 50 mile, I felt better. At least I had finally finished an event under cut off. I am used to DNFing, I do it frequently. But after while DNFing gets really old. I was beginning to wonder, am I really cut out to keep doing these extremely long endurance events? Maybe I should back of to doing something shorter and more main-stream? But then there is what I consider a “bad” DNF. Back-of-the-packers do not have that luxury. We might only have a 15 minute c...
