From the mail trail: I enter lunch break on my scanner. Slip my socks and shoes off. And step into Bass Patterson Lake. 5.27.26 #counrtyliving #daily

GM! From our front meadow. This caught my eye pulling out of the driveway to finish up the mail route yesterday. Hope you have a great day! 5.27.26 #gm #coffeechain

Good morning. Back to the mail trail today. Day after a holiday. It'll be heavy today. No fire for two mornings in a row now. Yesterday Annie woke up and asked me if I was going to be alright. LOL. Those are wild strawberries blooming on our plant tables. If it's not photos of fires it flowers. The focus: earthy things. Deep connection. Body and mind become one. Beauty. Hope you have a great day! 5.26.26 #gm #cofffeechain

Bitcoin is in “peak apathy“ right now. This happens about once every four years, and will end sometime in the next 134 days. The question is how much bitcoin will you own, at these low prices, when peak apathy ends, and the price proceeds to rise for the next 3+ years. Read “The Bullish Case for Bitcoin” by Vijay Boyapati, if you want to understand “why 134 days”. ~ Joel Bomgar #bitcoin

10 AM. Good morning. No fire this morning. It's midmorning already. Unusual posting at this time of day. That's a wild lupine from our front meadow. They will be blooming soon. It's done well out there. To the point where there might be too many. We'll leave them alone though. They'll bloom, die back, and other plants will emerge. Layering, life cycles, and learning happening. We hope. We're taking a family trip to Dragonfly Nursery today. We've been doing this since 2018. We started buying natives then. Time went on, and our appetite for natives grew. It got to the point where we started growing them to save money. Then eventually we started to sell them to make money. And here we are. Four years into Bean Brook Nursery. We're off. We hope you have a great Memorial Day! 5.25.26 #gm #countryliving #plants #natives

Good morning. Pretty sure this is the last fire of the season. It's supposed to be in the 80's this week. It's close to 50 out there, foggy and cool at 8 AM. Hopefully the house doesn't get too warm today. I figure we'll be opening the windows no matter what. The fires are hard to stop once I start. It's been 224 of them. I started lighting them back in September. I enjoy them. The light, the heat, and attention it requires. A 4 to 5 month break is nice, too though. That's all for now. Looking forward to sun and seventies today. Hope you have a great Sunday! #gm #coffeechain

6:40 AM. Puddles in the driveway. Chickadees sing spring song. Things feeling fresh at the nursery before heading to the Mail Trail. 5.23.26 #countryliving #gm

Good morning. This is Morning Fire 223. My 5th day of Mail Trail delivery. This might be the last fire. Now I see they're talking 77 and sunny tomorrow. That wasn't the case yesterday. The impermanence of weather. I am thankful for it Hayden (16 years old) worked for my great uncle yesterday at his sawmill. He came home with 20 bucks cash and fresh cut pine boards to side the doors he's building for his forge shelter. He was out there working on them until 9:30 last night. The kid put in a day. Both of our boys have been homeschooled. When they get into a project there's no slowing them down. They work like lions, then rest. Nothing like how ants work. Thoreau warned us about that. Don't work like ants he said. Dang, I gotta go. Words are flowing this morning. I hope you have a great day! 5.23.26 #gm #coffeechain

Good morning from the front of Morning Fire 222. I leave for the mail trail soon. Hopefully my day starts off better than yesterday. My white mail jeep started on fire. Some wires, that previous owners added, shorted out underneath the hood. Thankfully it didn't catch. It would've been quite a bon fire. My jeep was completely full of mail, newspapers, and Amazon packages. I started it up in the Post Office parking lot to leave for the route and smoke immediately poured out around the hood. Plastic and copper on fire. I'm off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day! 5.22.26 #gm #coffeechain

Good morning. It's 6:20 AM. I took the fire photo at 6 AM. Did some writing by hand after that. A writer friend posted how it's better for your brain to write by hand. That's according to a neuroscientist. I long to someday write pages and pages full of words, edit it, and publish it. The point would be to become more clear in my thinking and surprise myself with what comes out of me. Right now finances and family take precedent. I'm off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 221 5.21.26 #gm #coffeechain

GM🔥 In front of Morning Fire 219. A day or two of fires, and that'll be it. I will miss them. Off to the mail trail in a bit. It's after two days off with rest. Napped both days. Feel refreshed. Hope you have a great day! 5.19.26 #gm #coffeechain

GM🔥 It's 9 AM. Just closed the fire down. Probably didn't need one today. But I like sitting in front of my fires. I have sat in front of 218 of them this burning season. Burning season is coming to an end soon for us. It's late. Usually I am writing on this thing around six. Morning is half over from this vantage point. There was a message from my neighbor when I turned my phone on. He's working on my mail jeep. Before he started buying parts and putting money into it he wanted to make sure it was okay. A half hour later we hung up. I'm blessed with good neighbors. My neighbor, the mechanic, helps us keep our old vehicles running. Just down the road is the neighbor I pay a monthly payment for the jeep currently being worked on. She didn't have to finance it. And in between them is a neighbor who recently gifted us a bunch of homemade Italian sausage and plants native plants from our nursery. Like my mechanic neighbor said to me this morning, "We gotta get through this thing together." That was a good reminder. I needed to hear that. I'm off to make the most of my Monday off. Tomorrow it's back to the mail trail. 5.18.26 #coffeechain #gm

That's Hayden. He's 16. One of my sons. He built this coal forge with help from my neighbor and family. He sought out a mentor in our community and learned how to forge steel and weld. He's never been to school. Homeschooled, if you want to call it schooling at all. I don't fully understand the process. Because I spent 14 years in some sort of schooling or another. I just read about homeschooling in my mid twenties. It made sense. And I like to try things that make sense to me. So we did. I understand it's not for everybody. I am glad schools do exist. I am also thankful we have the freedom not to send our kids if we don't want to. 5.17.26 #homeschooling #proofofdad
