California poppies always make us smile. Despite being California's state flower, they are also native to Oregon, Washington, Nevada, New Mexico, and Northern Mexico. It's drought-tolerant, self-seeding, and it's even edible! What does it taste like? Nothing magical, it's slightly sweet and grassy. 😅

When you live in a small house, “working from home” means laptop on the kitchen table, surrounded by laundry and the supplies for whatever project is happening this week 😂

Friday means veggie picking day. Almost every color other than blue.

I was really unsure about these DIG solar powered sprinkler timer valves, but after 2 years I’m sold. They don’t seem to need much sun to water once a week for an hour and it’s made a huge difference to our yew hedge and our bamboo garden. The downside is that they are about $80. 👍

Thinking about a wood fired hot tub? We finally took the plunge and here's what we learned: First, I'm glad we opted for this Dundalk square tub as it's lighter and uses less water than a round tub for two would have. It will also be easier to clean because the inside is aluminum. It's basically a big aluminum tub with cedar plank around it to insulate it and make it look cuter.

The wood stove part isn't made by the same company (It's made by Aleko), we got that separate because the ones that sit inside the hot tub seem silly. They take up room and you end up with wood chips and ash in the water.

Firing things up takes some practice. Too much wood and you'll overshoot your intended temperature, too little wood and the water jacket makes the fire hard to start.

Also: be prepared to change the water frequently as it doesn't have a filter. We'll be diverting the waste water to our grey water recycling system but you could always water plants with the runoff as well. We're contemplating adding a low wattage circulation pump and filter soon, so stay tuned...

Sometimes a leafblower is the best answer to getting your burn pile really going….

This is what’s left of a nearly 20 year old Japanese maple that we trucked around in a pot from place to place before it landed in its “forever home.” A ~18 inch diameter oak tree fell over in the storm and the upper half of it crushed the maple. Thankfully the acer family of trees are quite resilient. Our plan is to put some protective latex sealant on the broken limbs and see what happens. After a few years of corrective pruning it shouldn’t be *too* bad… 😂

All things considered, a broken panel and a tree down in the front yard isn’t as bad as it could be. 😂

Wood stove in a tent on the patio with a TV? Why not? It’s cheaper than building a new living room 😅

Yep, that looks safe. Pulling a tree in the right direction with a rope connected to a winch on a side-by-side parked in a mud hole. What could go wrong? For scale, Rob is that tiny dot with the yellow helmet on. 😅

We may have accidentally dropped a tree on the grey water recycling tank. Oops. Thankfully this type of damage is repairable. Also fortunate: the tank was full at the time so the branch didn't crush the tank down as far as it would have had it been empty. 😅

A rainy weekend means just one thing: it means you’re working in the mud 😂
