Big Woods Cabin: October 2008
http://bigwoodscabin.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 16, 2008. We had a great time on our trip to Virginia! Keely and Curt put up with all of us- and all our dogs- for a long, fun, work and play weekend. Aunt Jeanne, don't know if you read this, but DISREGARD THE NEXT PARAGRAPH AND DON'T LOOK AT THE PICTURES! After hours of hauling out dirty what-nots and dusty odd-bits, we were all pretty grimy and greasy. So we all loaded up and took a dip in the beautiful Cowpasture River (not being sarcastic, it's the cleanest river in Virginia! I'll ...

Big Woods Cabin: May 2009
http://bigwoodscabin.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Well, I guess this is what I get for putting off all the laundry that I should've done over the weekend. it's been raining steadily for about 2 hours now, and it looks like it's settling in for the day. I just hate running the dryer! True, it makes the clothes softer, and gets more cat and dogs hair off them, but still. I honestly enjoy hanging clothes on the line, and I find it much more convenient to fold them as they come off the line than when they come out of the dryer. We dec...

Big Woods Cabin: September 2008
http://bigwoodscabin.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 12, 2008. Well, the friendly folks down at Pittsboro Feed and Garden decided to order baby chicks for the fall, and, well. These are so freshly hatched, most of them still have their egg teeth, that little bump on the end of the beak that they use to break out of their shells. Left over from the dinosaur days. The egg tooth falls off a day or two after hatching, so obviously these babies are fresh! These are some of a large crop growing in the dog pen by the doghouses. And here's some p...

Big Woods Cabin: August 2009
http://bigwoodscabin.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. We've been really into the idea of Yurts lately. Not only because of a recent fascination with Mongolia ( Cave of the Yellow Dog. Well, partly because of that. But for other reasons, too. A huge difference between these round buildings and a yurt is portability- unlike Shakers, Mongolians are an historically nomadic people, so yurts are traditionally a very portable structure. There are a few manufacturers of yurts in the US ( Yurt. Is actually a Russian word, Ger. They supposed...

Big Woods Cabin: January 2009
http://bigwoodscabin.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 18, 2009. It's been awhile. I've been away from the blogworld for a month or two now. usually Buck wakes up from his nap as soon as I sit down to type, so we'll see how this post goes. Things are happening around here, though, and I don't have pictures of all of it, so here is a brief summary of the last month or so:. Buck is now crawling and eating! He is into everything, like a good baby should be! He has the bumps on his head to prove it. Mendy (as we have named her) seems to be doing ...

Big Woods Cabin: August 2008
http://bigwoodscabin.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2008. The best way to calm a chicken is to make sure you've got their wings comfortably pinned against them, hold them close to your body so they feel secure, speak gentle, soothing tones, and I've found that stroking their beak will almost always work. So today was the first treatment. Phoenix did great. After his initial freak-out, he remained calm throughout the ordeal, excepting a few loud bi-cawk. Sunday, August 24, 2008. I hate to upstage my own pesto, but. He's got something ri...

Big Woods Cabin: Cat of the Week-- Trusty
http://bigwoodscabin.blogspot.com/2009/07/cat-of-week-trusty.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. Cat of the Week- Trusty. This is Trusty. He is four and a half years old, male neutered domestic shorthair silver (or just plain ol' grey) tabby. We got him (for free) as a six-week-old kitten, and as we drove away from his birth family on that stormy June eve, he never looked back. He sat quietly in my lap looking around with interest and not a speck of fear or hesitancy, and then he fell asleep. Also, he tends to give dirty looks. It's not so much that he's a bad sport, but he's ...

Big Woods Cabin: October 2009

Friday, October 16, 2009. AKA El Sucio, Cat of the Week. Well, no pics because I JUST got my camera back, but I wanted to relate a little story that happened about a week ago when my niece (9) and nephew (4) were staying with us. Overall, we had a great time. They are welcome back any time and hopefully next time my other nephew (7) can come, too! So, the other night after dinner, we were having a dance party of sorts (I like to move it, move it, anyone? And generally merry-making and fun-having. And I i...
