Beautiful Existence: New England, Part 1
http://northernwinter.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-england-part-1.html
New England, Part 1. After a week in beautiful, sunny Sitka (it's like that all the time, right? I made it back to New England for a two week trip visiting family and friends. It's a fabulous time to sit back, relax, and *finally* update this blog! I'll try to get some older photos up from the summer, but for now here are some shots from my first week in Maine. Tomorrow I'm heading to MA to visit mom, grandparents, and friends there. We came back and found the creepy crawlies all over. Lime disease i...

Beautiful Existence: March 2010
http://northernwinter.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Spring or Winter….hard sayin’, not knowin’. 160; Well, it was entirely novice and (mostly) I knew it. This past week we’ve had blizzarding conditions – they cancelled school on Friday! 160; Snow. Lots of snow. So, I’ve brought my skis back out, put my running sneaker insoles back in my xtra tuffs, and admitted that I was wrong. It’s only March. It’s still winter. . 160; I toured the Seward harbor for work, Chris drank coffee, and then he played with a lovely harbor seal before we left. 160; I love it.

Sunday, September 28, 2014. 15s duck feeding video from last weekend. Posted by Lee Pruett. Links to this post. Just a boy in the world. Things that are happening:. 1 We bought a membership to the SF Zoo, which has already paid for itself, because Theo wakes up nearly daily with the one word question, “animals? 8221; It’s been pretty good so far, except yesterday, when a seagull swooped down and took an entire kosher beef hot dog off of Natan’s plate and shoved it down its gullet in 2 seconds. 3 Speaking...

blogalicious: February 2015
http://leepruett.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. One thing I swore I would never do again after Theo was pump 8 times a day, and yet, because Charlie was early and needed to have high calorie food (AKA formula supplement to breast milk. AKA a bottle), I am pumping 8 times a day. Last night I discovered the vast social support network for people who exclusively pump. In the breastfeeding world, there are “awards” for reaching certain milestones—3 months is bronze, a year is gold. That breastfeeding is better. But in the worl...

Friday, July 04, 2014. It is the birthday of America, a holiday for which I am not often around. Some of us are celebrating by eating a veggie burger (probably unAmerican), potato salad (definitely American) and peach cobbler ('Murica! One of us is on a plane to Oaxaca (totally unAmerican. Why not go to Cabo or Cancun, dude! That's the Mexico that doesn't make you exchange precious USD and do simple currency conversion math! It's a good thing that they only sell skewers in packages of 100!

Good Ol Fashioned Whale Move. Last week, up past my eyeballs in work, Ben calls me and asks if I want to join them to go move a whale. Excuse me? I was late (SORRY! But we left the harbor at high tide with Josiah, Brad, Ben and I on his boat, Charlie and Elias on their boat, and Brian and some other folks on theirs. It was a veritable armada, with three skiffs heroically speeding down the spit on a mission. 160; The Whale Move would be recorded for posterity it seemed, and not just by me. Ben, Josiah, ...

Saturday, November 29, 2014. Food diary November 29. This evening we attempted to play at the mall play park, but it was filled with aggressive little boys, so instead we ate french fries. Theo proved his food daring by dipping each fry into three different sauces, proving that he is, indeed, a lover of complex flavors and budding foodie. Posted by Lee Pruett. Links to this post. Friday, November 28, 2014. Two girls who are very interested in holding his hand! What is with this dude? Posted by Lee Pruett.

Beautiful Existence: Harambe(e) Gardens, July
http://northernwinter.blogspot.com/2011/07/harambee-gardens-july.html
Harambe(e) Gardens, July. In addition, I also ate my first strawberries from the garden this weekend. Still heaps of most-beautiful spinach (Tyee, the best variety I’ve grown so far), mustard greens, mizuna (mostly bolted by now), kale, and radishes. I think I see some wee-baby plums on one of the trees, and the mock orange and monarda rose shrubs that I got from Fritz Creek earlier this summer are beautiful in bloom. Nice going Rachel and Ben! Love the flowers, and the chickens! Love Dad and Donna.

Summer at Harambe Gardens. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted – Ben and I have been ever-busy with high tunnels, vegetable gardens, fish-composting (i.e. maggot farming), chicken-babies, plum trees, keeping dogs happy and away from chicken-babies, and the regular full-time jobs we otherwise have doing major house re-models (Ben) and outreaching to boaters and others to help protect Cook Inlet (me). Whew! First off, the chickens. I love them – is this any surprise? Here’s the set-up for the dri...
