Grounding Practice Day 5: Orange Sunrise and Half Moon
I decided to move beyond my Grounding Challenge and begin a Daily Grounding Practice. I am going to try to post daily. If I miss a day or two, I am human.
PURPOSE: I am going to carve out time each day to slow down and connect with Nature in some way.
Why am I doing this?❄️To remind myself to be grateful - I am extremely grateful for the people and events unfolding in my life. ❄️To connect with Nature❄️To practice discipline in good times and more difficult times❄️To be be mindful - Some live outside in these extreme temperatures. Never forget those less fortunate.
——————————
Day 5: Orange Sunrise and Half Moon
It’s another glorious day at the Third Floor Castle in the Sky! The sunrise was sure a glorious one: lots of orange, reds and yellows.
It was beautiful!
At the same time, the half moon was hanging in the sky, so I got the best of both worlds: gorgeous sunrise and bright half moon.
The funny thing is: Julie had literally just left the apartment and texted me to go outside. Little did she know, I was already there! I saw her leave and caught her on video! Ha ha!
It is amazing what you can see when you get up with the sunrise. Soon, it will be rising with the sun over the Apple River in Western Wisconsin at Eagles Ridge!
You’ll probably going to see a lot of cool stuff when we get there....I promise!

HOW T
how-to-save-money-buying-in-bulk
We are always looking for ways to save money on our grocery bill, especially with a couple hungry young men at home.
One method we are experimenting with is buying in bulk. That doesn't mean hoarding or buying tons of product that is on sale! It means we are targeting items that we consume frequently. An example is buying a pork tenderloin and getting up to five or six meals from one nine pound package of meat! Can you imagine buying and storing half of a pig or cow? We certainly can!
Please see smallscalelife.com for the article that coincides with this video.
Learn. Do. Grow.

This is Day 3 BONUS: Prairie Creek Speaks
I was working my way back home from Northfield, MN. I stumbled across Prairie Creek (west of Cannon Falls) and decided to make a quick video with my iPhone. I didn’t have any fancy recording or video gear with me, so I just used what I had.
It was a pretty spot, that’s for sure!

WALK
walk-in-the-woods-what-about-a-pond
In this video, I take you on a walk in the woods behind the Blue Barn and Blue Paddock. We take a look at The Gulley, The Berm/Land Bridge and the amount of fallen timber.
As I think about things and look, I wonder what it would take to put in a pond?
We’d have to clear the fallen timber and remove some old fencing and debris, and then we would need to bring in a bulldozer to push soil and form the basin (more than the eroded gulley and dry beds).
A lot of water flows through the property. And slowing down that flow might help with erosion issues while attracting wildlife. It’s a future project to be sure, and we would want to do it in a way that doesn’t attract the wandering eye and regulations of the DNR.
We’ll see. We need to explore more, and other projects take priority, of course.
In the meantime, we do have coyotes, rabbits, deer and turkeys in the woods. That is pretty cool!
Time to move the trail camera to this section of the woods.

2023
2023-february-blizzard-part-2
Around 5:00 PM, the storm picked up the pace. The wind was howling and the snow was coming down. I couldnt see the County Road or neighbor’s house to the west.
Comparing this video to the Part 1 video, and you’ll see how it cranked up. At the same time, the temperate took a nosedive.
No bueno.
We haven’t been through a nasty rural blizzard with 45 mph gusts before. While the snow is light and fluffy, the wind gusts are pushing it around and making driving conditions impossible.
We aren’t going anywhere tonight. It is time to hunker down and stay warm. I hope you can do the same. This storm…is no joke.
Hunker down and stay safe. We’ll all ride out this 2023 February Blizzard.

2017
2017-coir-soil-test
The 2017 Gardening Campaign has begun! As part of the Potting Soil Challenge, I am testing three types of potting soil this year: Menards Master Gardener Mix, Pro-Mix and Burpee COIR (Cocunut Fiber). In this video, I show what COIR is and mix up a batch of Burpee's COIR. Unlike the Pro-Mix and Master Gardener Mix, there were no debris (rocks, sticks, plastic and matted peat moss) in the COIR. I load up a seed tray and show the results after 3 days! I am pretty impressed with this potting soil, and I highly recommend it!

GARDE
garden-update-09-14-2016
The season is changing, and winter is coming! Sorry, just had to throw a Game of Thrones reference in for all the fans. Seriously though, the season is starting to change. I am catching up on long overdue garden updates, and this one was filmed when we weren't trying to be Seattle: the sun was out.
In this video, I walk through the garden and show you what is happening. The big change is that the massive pine tree in the yard is gone, and that opens up the western edges of Bed 1 (my tomato bed) to more sun. After I filmed this video, I went through the tomatoes like the Grim Reaper and pruned aggressively. I do have a video coming on that!
This video corresponds to a Garden Update on smallscalelife.com. The link to that blog post is here: http://wp.me/p6NX1f-ho. Please check that out.
I am also posting an update on my Hybrid Rain Gutter Grow System and wicking bed system on my driveway. That post can be found here: http://wp.me/p6NX1f-i3. Please check that out.
This video was filmed with a GoPro Hero 4 Silver. I also used a ProMic accessory from PolarPro. It makes all the difference! Here is a link to the kit I am using: https://www.polarprofilters.com/products/gopro-microphone-external-mount
I hope your gardens are still producing this late in the season! Keep on learning, doing and growing! Catch you next time.

whole30-days-16-17-hungry-in-sweden
Happy Wednesday, all! I hope you are doing well today on Hump Day. It is time for a Whole30 Challenge Update! Today, you get 2 days. What can I say?
I am still recovering from Monday’s 4:00 AM start. Yesterday, I was HUNGRY! I felt like I could eat everything in sight, and frankly, I did. I ate nuts, jerky, 3 hard boiled eggs, soup, a banana and an apple. It really didn’t subside until the afternoon! I think I was really feeling that early start, and my body was craving calories. Interesting.
In the old days, I would eat like a horse and knock it down with Diet Dew and coffee with lots and lots of creamer. With our coffee machine broken, I bought a cup at the gas station. No creamer...I am not quite there yet! It was rough.
Today was better! I got a good night’s sleep and got after it. I had good energy, and I got a lot done. I had some more eggs for breakfast, a cup of coffee from our new Ninja coffee maker, and a big salad for lunch. For dinner, I had chili on a sweet potato and broccoli. I did have some nuts for a snack. Not bad!
I filmed this video from the shores of South Lindstrom Lake in Lindstrom, MN. I was back up there for a presentation and wanted to capture the moment where I began, 17 days ago! You can tell the days are getting longer.
The reason for the title of this video? Well, Chisago Lakes and Lindstrom have strong ties to Sweden, and since I am hungry today.....?
