The Secret of the Rooky Wood Bozeman, Montana 2012

“Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand Cancel and tear to pieces that great bond Which keeps me pale! Light thickens, and the crow Makes wing to the rooky wood; Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, Whiles night’s black agents to their preys do rouse. –William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Kaleidocrow #4 Bozeman, Montana 2012

Top Gear Bozeman, Montana 2012

I remember when I could look under the hood of a car and actually see components and parts I understood and could work on or replace if necessary. Now I open the hood of my car and am lucky if I can find the oil dipstick or the windshield wiper fluid reservoir. It really makes me appreciate the simplicity of an old threshing machine where everything seems to be simple and out in the open where it can be easily inspected and worked on.]]>

The Devil’s in the Details Bozeman, Montana 2012

Not sure what details he’s reading up on, but this may be one of those “a little knowledge” is dangerous situations (or maybe a lot of knowledge depending on how much he actually reads).]]>

Small Bounty Bozeman, Montana 2012

They’re forecasting a high of 35 degrees for tomorrow along with mixed snow and rain, so Connie finished harvesting her small, 4’x8′ garden. This is what she got from the one row of carrots she planted (minus some we already harvested and ate.) Along with the carrots she got a couple gallons of beans, a big bowl of peas (would have had buckets of them except the marmots decided they liked pea plants–pods, leaves, stems, and all), bunches of lettuce, a pile of green onions, and a couple of small beets. Not bad for a 32 square foot garden.]]>
