Wow a Lot Has Happened!

Whew! This summer was a whirlwind of busyness and too many projects. And now fall has come and gone and we're already into winter and the new year. So I hope you are all having a wonderful start to your New Year from us here at the tiny house! 

Thanks to our friend Beth for snapping this shot of all of us!

And, the news today is that it looks like Google has let me back into my account which includes email, this blog, the Youtube channel! If you were wondering, part of the reason you have seen no updates here in a while is that I was locked out of all access to anything controlled by Google for quite some time now, which includes the platform this site is currently hosted on. Something was messed up in the brains of computers on their end it seems. The only reason I am even able to be back now is that one of you long time followers who is part of the email list has a close family member who is very highly placed at Google and was willing to ask them to fix the issue internally when they became aware of my predicament. Many, many, thanks to those two individuals! Without who’s intervention I don’t believe there would have ever been another post or video sharable here. So hopefully I will now be able to continue to share new content on all the platforms once again.

You can of course also find all the 660 something videos at https://odysee.com/$/invite/@FyNyth:d, join my email update list via the little box on the righthand side of this blog if you want to be notified when there is a new blog post or when something like this happens in the future, or come see the daily photos I share on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth or https://flote.app/user/FyNyth !

Now for a very brief look back at the past summer... The orchard trees grew and bloomed slowly.

We raised a flock of meat birds and established a flock of laying hens.

Clay worked on some of his own building projects. With the help of dogs and cats of course!

Burley and I got out for a few hikes, but not many compared to most summers due to how slammed I was with trying to set up and keep up with everything here at the new place.

Friends and family came for visits and we got to do things like forage for wild huckleberries together.

Spend time with my favorite man and our goofy dogs.

Enjoy good food with good people. 

Added a kitten named Velcro, for how close she likes to stick to you, to our little menagerie. She and Burley quickly became close friends!

Went for autumn walks in the woods.

Collected firewood.

Harvested veggies though not nearly as great of a crop as the previous year. 

Canned food, baked food.

Enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views afforded by the more open aspect of this location.

Were joined by a second kitten, Zipper, who is much less people cuddly than Velcro. But the two of them love to play with each other!

And then winter returned. Burley as always loves the snow!

And even the chickens enjoy getting out to scratch around in it for any treasures. 

Presuming there are no more emergencies around here that either occupy my time or prevent me from being able to access this means of sharing info with you all :) , I hope to get back to much more regular posting at least through the winter here when I have a bit more time flexibility. Have a wonderful day!
