In like a lion, out like a lamb. Or at least that’s the saying in Western New York. Pertaining to the weather. Well, it works here for me too. I started out March in a really bad place about teaching. And then, I quit. I gave my notice on March 3rd, spent the next two […]
chickens
the leftovers of January ’21.
Well. If you’ve followed along, you’ll know that January was a bananas month in our little fam. My return to teaching didn’t leave much time for anything else. Aside from a weekend hike and Isaac’s birthday, my month was mostly a whirlwind of lesson planning, mental breakdowns, sitting in front of a screen for 15 […]

monthly non-adventure post, july edition.
another month of pandemic life has come and gone. things are still sort of opened, but now cases are back on the increase, so no one knows what to make of anything anymore. it’s madness. but somehow, the month still managed to fly by, maybe because we are used to it at this point. all […]
june. sigh. in quarantine-ish.
well. another month has come and gone and we are still in the middle of this coronavirus pandemic thing. during june, things opened up a bit more and we were able to get out and visit with friends a bit more, so it didn’t feel as locked down-y as months past. on one particularly hot […]
chicken flock 2.0
when we came off the road last year (almost exactly a year ago, sigh), we knew we wanted to get chickens. but, last year was pretty rough, trying to settle in and adjust, and acquire furniture, and just figure things out. so, we decided to wait until this spring/summer. thanks to the pandemic panic, when […]
