The power is out, and the snow is still falling. It's a snow day for us. Though my three year old has a small fever. Thankfully the woodstove is hot, and the gas stove has flames. Plenty of water stored up too.

got some friends further along the journey of doing their dream jobs.

#fridayartday The blue paint in this piece is an Interference paint, which changes the way it looks in the light. I ought to make a video to show the effect. If you zoom in on the pinkish spot, you will see a tiny jackalope. They are making their way along a starlight rail through an plane on the interdimensional flatplane.

A little bird song chorus to change the pace of the day. One of the things I find truly inspiring. A simple connection to the divine. #permaculture #birds #birdsong #grownostr #lifesteading #homesteading

There was a power outage last night, these happen. Yesterday I found the heat-tape broken in our pump house, so I replaced it. But heat tape doesn't work in a power outage. And if I am sleeping when the power goes out, there's no way to take other actions. Time to figure out another layer of protection. Thankfully the temperature wasn't freezing last night.

Finally got the lock on my den. I need to keep my 1 & 3 year olds out, as they get into everything and accidentally destroy. Time to make serious progress. #parenting #kids #workstation #permaculture #homestead #lifesteading #grownostr #nostr #bitcoin #zap https://image.nostr.build/ba3377e82bbb77dac5e8460b1c3ba6ce724d27ad1907d511d0651962a8c6bb48.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=865x1920&blurhash=%5B99%3F8%230f%7EB9a%5E1s%3AI%3AofIU-pIV%25L%24zRjt6WB%24%25RkWqjF-nRkt6WBxYWVbHjaobbbf6kCxZofo1W%3D&x=e6275cefeb768dfe084ad7541e5476c25999a9fe4abe56f54cdf25fcc8d2a7e3

Cooking over an open flame. This was the first round for my two youngest, while my eldest wrapped the rest in bacon, with onion in between. Cleaned up an area of debris during this burn too.

learned a fair amount during my break from life beyond my family, and loved every minute with my young and growing ones (I could still use a few more moments of just my wife and I).

Back at work, cleaning up the brush to plant more trees. Taking the cuttings and debris to build out this terraced walkway overlooking a wetland. I've seen so many more squirrels since adding trees that feed them. Hoping to see a lot more forest creatures as I diversify the forest ecology. #fiatmining #trees #squirrels #grownostr #permaculture #plantmore #nostr #bitcoin #zap https://image.nostr.build/a73d2b3ffd9b5dd2cf3086902d88b3c9be680cb079c3d561d559b65ad791c761.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x865&blurhash=ZBGS14Vg9%3DNGwOtRWBawRj*I%24%2BxuofjHW%3DjZRkWA%25NNGWARja_t6WBn%2CWTWZozRjRjkCs%3AoMjrV%5B&x=4b7d848ae46c696301771065697dedf7a72bc651f3da864d12a486142c933807 https://image.nostr.build/8992efd965c7a38957b27ed289cbdb64775cba8df7f57e3ccb2b6fa253ecdc00.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x865&blurhash=Z9C6.L-o4ntRf4axaxbHoL%7Eqo0M%7CozoJkCa%23Wqoe-%3Do%23R%25oJxZofRjfkoK%25gt7Rij%5Bs%3AofR*oLj%3F&x=51d6fa9e334a0e530f9996c26fa9e373d4dfd60c7fd571223dda3b2031da9da8
