Twas the Night Before Christmas 2025
Eleventh Annual … But whose counting Twas the Night Before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas and all across Zen Not a creature was stirring save for one overexuberant hen “There is so much still to bake,“ “Pastries , breads, cookies and cakes“ “There will be omelets, eggs over easy , poached and fried“ “I must keep laying throughout this cold night“ “So many plates to fill“ “so…
Catching up at the Zen Mountain Homestead 2025
Well, We are back for a catcher-upper through the seasons this year. We should have our first actual snows coming in any eve now. The snow level is suppose to drop down around our ears tonight or tomorrow night. The predictions we have seen so far for the winter have more than not said that it should be a lot like last winter… In our case, that would mean snow at night, rains most days.. I am…
..and You shall have an appule
And we are into Winter now. Temps are still great ; hovering between upper twenties and even touching 40F every so often. We get snow, snow melts. We get rain….well, I don’t have to shovel rain so yippie. So far, bad weather is holding off.. the longer , the better..so long as winter doesn’t actually wait till spring.. that would suck. Yesterday and today, the pressure is enough that instead of…
After the tinsel drops
Another Christmas has come and gone with the beginning of a new year looming just ahead. But, that’s for another day. We did, in fact, get snow on Christmas….. Ma; my better half, and I were out in the covered porch when the rain mixed in some snow…and we watched as it went back to rain… but those eight snow flakes were awesome… Ma loves to have snow around for the holidays… I’m fine with that…
Zen Mtn's Twas the night Before Christmas (10th Annual)
Merry Christmas and Happy Yule to y'all
Twas the Night Before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas and though it seldom gets loud We were all snuggled in to our winter’s ice cloud The night view was quite grand at least for a few feet You can hear the tinkling sound of mixed rain and fine sleet Ma and I sat all warm in the glow of the flickering fire She spinning Shetland while I thought on how this scene would fit quite…

The pitty patter of....
Welcome back to Zen Mountain.. Another week has come and gone , bringing some pleasant changes, at least for the now.. For the last couple weeks now, our resident winter cloud has been a bit of a pill… relatively speaking. Turkey Day, we knew we had the swap in our winds changing, as it does every couple weeks , at the least…We knew our cloud was moving back home for the Season. Like an old…
Flippin' the Bird
I hope everyone had a nice Turkey Day. I know not everyone celebrates the day the same. I can remember fondly ; spending the day at the parent’s place, of course, as kids but also as we got older: Things really did start changing as us kids got our own places and we started moving the holidays around between the three homes.. my sister had Turkey Day, just not at all the same as at the family…
In the Clouds
We have been very fortunate to have our rainy season continuing with gusto after a fairly dry summer. After having one decent rain between the end of April and the end of October, having rain every day is glorious for us. We didn’t put out our gauge this year…oops.. But, we haven’t gotten rain like this for years. I don’t melt so I don’t mind walking in the rain……. * chuckle* So when we are…
Getting Frosty and " when are you putting up more music?"
Temps are slowly dropping up here with w decline every few days. I guess you can’t have a warm Fall forever…. Thursday, Ma; my better half, and I had to make a run to pick up my computer from the comp doc. We took a little scenic drive heading there and a long run after we picked it up. It was fun to travel out into the other hills, seeing orchards and wheat fields and so on. The only animals we…
Of fur and feather; part one
Fall is very warm for us this year, letting us enjoy more time with the Zen kids before temps send them off into the valleys below. We have been lucky enough this year to be above freezing through all of October and so far in November. As often as not, we have snow on the ground by now, so we’ll take this as long as we can have it. Rains have been finally coming through so we don’t see AS many…
Changing of the Season, let it rain
Fall nestled in, our short rainy season is finally here. We don’t get a lot of rain up here. Even a short seven miles away to the west there is more rain than what we get… for all that, you can see the difference much closer than that. “Gotham” ,our town at the foot of Zen, get’s even less. A few years back, the electric company came up to run underground cables over meadows and fields,…
Back in the saddle again
The Full Story of Ma; my better half, and The journey of Freyja and the Shetland Stars Shawl below With Fall making its attempt still to dig in, Zen is still fairly dry and warm with November staring us in the face. “Where has the time gone?” One might ask…well… ok, if anyone actually thought about the goings on up here, but, as life is busy for everyone, I imagine I am one of a select few…
Twas the Night Before Christmas ( on Zen )
Zen’s 9th Annual Night Before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas, The two of us hangin’ in the ole Zen mountain house, the place was a buzzing, the her wheel a spinning at the touch of my spouse, Fluffy woolen fleece, spun so fine our spiders were gushing , knitted by Ma into fine Shetland lace, blocked to dry and relax by the now warm fire, In hopes that it would dry in time for…

Our hills are alive with Music
With the count down to Yule I wanted to get this promised Post up. With the annual Night Before on the eve, course. If you ever want to see any pic of Limpy's ( our main coyote pack} in play this is the one and only time..
The mystery of Limpy’s pack on Zen during our 2023 seasons This late Spring, we watched as the biggest pack of coyotes either of us has seen up here in over Thirty years trotted along our “front yard.” A solid group of eight, nearly doubling the last biggest working pack we had seen being five, including both Mama and Limpy himself. The unsettling bit was that they were all the sizes of fairly…

Fall-ing through the Zen gardens
Yup; Fall has settled into the Zen Homestead like a sheet of ice. A chill climate change up here slapped us literally over night. I went from AC to woodstove, once again in hours. This time however it feels more like Fall than the pretend Fall days we have kept getting over the last few weeks. Harvests and Canning Ma’s gardens went from a large bowl of paste tomatoes bigger than my fist each…
