The Walden Effect: Farming, simple living, permaculture, and invention.

Celebrating the rain

Picking strawberries

It rained! Two-thirds of an inch is usually something we roll our eyes at. But when it amounts to 59% of the precipitation for the month, we celebrate...by inviting Mom to come over and pick strawberries.

DIY computer

Joey showed up too to install a DIY-computer-turned-server, which he plans to use for (insert technical explanation I didn't really understand here). I think he'll eventually post about it on his blog.

Much fun was had by all! And, once again, I squeaked in just under the wire, barely managing to take one just-for-fun holiday per month. So far, my one resolution for 2015 is still on track to be a success.
