Welcome!

The blog title, in part, refers to the habitat type we live in as I understand it (well, the house is plopped in the middle of it anyway). We frequently experience colder air temperatures and have to be careful of early and late frosts that threaten tender plants in the garden. I've lived here for over 30 years (Holy $#@*!!!) and I will say that the last 10 to 12 seem warmer and the frost threat seems less and less. My Mom would always say that we were not safe from frost until after Memorial Day and were in danger of frost after Labor Day. I generally still go by that rule, but I'm not as worried about it.

We're a very small "farm". In fact, in March 2016 I am amending my earlier description because there isn't much farming going on anymore. We have one chicken. Our focus is mainly the grounds, the house, outbuildings and of course, being outdoors and on trips.

So, stay tuned. I expect to blog about some gardening, pets, geocaching, camping, hiking, running and travel, or whatever the day brings. As time goes on there will be several pages of 'older posts' accessible from a link at the bottom of the page.
