When we moved from NZ to the US in 2001, we stayed in a friend’s basement for a few weeks, then found an apartment, and the container ship with some large crates of our possessions arrived. #ThrowbackThursday



The word for day 13 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “rise”. Since Rory is a tripawd Great Dane, we have her food and water dishes on a riser to make them easier to reach (with another couple below for the cats). #mbfeb

The word for day 12 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “attachment”. A very useful attachment on my drill is a quick change bit holder, to easily swap between drill and screw bits. #mbfeb

Happy birthday to my wonderful wife, Jenn! (This is a photo from a delightful trip to Jacksonville, Oregon last year.) 🎂

The word for day 11 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “plain”. Vanilla ice cream is often considered very plain, but it’s one of my favorites (especially Oregon’s own Tillamook ice cream). #mbfeb

The word for day 10 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “sign”. We have a “Slow; Watch for Ferals” sign by our driveway, since our feral cats are often crossing it as they patrol the property. #mbfeb

On the homestead blog: the finishing touches on the greenhouse shelving: installing the sink and a second coat of stain. 🔨

The word for day 9 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “lull”. Our flag is at rest when there’s a lull in the wind. #mbfeb

On the homestead blog: in this week’s cat update, more snow and more GIFs, though half as many as last time. #Caturday 🐈
