We are as many of you know are entering a difficult time defined as both a very bad pendamic and a hard hit on the economy of the Country and the world. We are seeing the shutdown of comerce, employment, schools and other places where groups of people meet. This will surely rival the great depression of the 1930s and increase deaths from this Corona Virus. Since we do not have any immunity to a changing new virus which may well also be mutating, we have no defence to it like we do to influenza which we are exposed to every year. People are told they need to stay home and keep their distance from others. How long will this last is anyone's guess. We are entering a time that is unpresedented and not experineced in over a hundred years. I hope everyone takes care to stay as healthy as you can and do what you have to to survive by helping friends and family. Saty safe and well during a very bad time in our history.Damien Davillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263209510212113609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208462313618356580.post-60029446342654784612019-04-04T11:14:00.001-05:002019-04-04T13:05:01.674-05:00ChangesI almost think it is time to change the title of this blog, so much has ha;ppened to me. I now have some health issues and I have neglected this place. I have had to move from the nice land I was living on and buy a home closer to family. Such as what happens to some as you get older. Getting up an age has affected my desire to do things like getting organized and making my craft which was stone knife making. I live up north now and the weather is just too cold for me right now. Maybe when the summer comes I will get inspired to go through boxes and setup a work area. Relationshps are important now and now that I have given up being able to work I live on a pension now. I get up in my 60s, and life changes and I suppose that happens to everyone at some point. I still think the days just go by too quickly and then there are those times I just sit and do nothing and I have time to do some things. I also feel overwhelmed with the demands of life, I am fixing up a house and getting things done seem to just drag on where I feel I will never get it all done. Oh well, just another chapter of this life. Simply getting older is not much fun no matter what people say.<br />

The year is about up and I am about to gain another year in my life. I have spent time however working as a shaman and putting in time in my dagger making out of stone and bone. I have been getting more artrithis in the hands and back and that has limited my physical ability, but when I can I have been keeping up with my knife making. A photo of a new one made of obsidain stone and antler bone has been added to this post. That is where my energy has been going last few months. You can see more of my knife making at<br />

It appears that lack of rain and 100 degree temperatures since June have really dried my area and caused plants to die including most of my garden except what I have been hand watering which includes some tomato and carrot plants. What a change from two years ago when rain was plentiful. And what did not help was that this is the first year I have had deer jumping my fence and eating my greens and lettuce in masse, I even found their droppings in the garden. They did not do this in past years so I think the drought is affecting them as well causing them to look for food that has not died off...</div>

I am in the country surrounded by woods but this is the first time in years I have had a too close encounter with a rattle nake and also a coral snake, both which are venomous. They both were juveniles so that makes me think they both have a den nearby. I always wear boots when I am out and now I carry a machete with me...<br />

I have tried blocking off some plants but they still do get to them. I am still getting tomatoes and carrots from the garden despite them chewing on those plants. If it is not insects or worms, it is predators and now deer.<br />

One of the zucchini was well hidden and after I cut it out measured 10 inches. I usually like to cut them when they are 6 to 8 inches. The squash averaged 6 to 8 inches which is the maximun I like to let it grow. With all the bees I have been seeing in the garden, I am getting a lot of fruit.<br />

I know there are snakes in the country and in my area and I have seen some but this snake was the first venomous snake near my house that I saw and I have to say it scared me enough that I look around a lot more than I use to. I managed to take a photo of it and I have posted it here. It goes to show you have got to be aware of your environment all the time when you are operating in it...<br />

While there has been a lack of rain I have been hand watering from my water well. I think there has been no rain for last three weeks, and I think that has hurt somewhat and would have been castastrphic if I had not been watering every day. It seems winter has gone right into summer, ie I have had temps in the 90s for days now including back in April where I has little rain. I guess my hope is some May rains that will soak the ground. I will soon find out, but I am not optimistic. I uploaded some photos of my garden today...<br />

Also planted back in February carrots, lettuce and greens and they are all coming up now. Looking forward to spring!<div>

I like to take walks on my property and explore my environment, I am the curious sort and like to study the area I live. Today I collected some fossils including that of shells that suggest my whole area must have been under water once upon a time, now that is an interesting thought considering I live on a hill but on top a geologists dream of rock...</div>

They will crowd around the greens dish and fight over the greens. I also put what I call a cabbage on a stick out in the pen as something they can peck at whenever they like. Always fun watching them and of course collecting the eggs...<br />

It is far worse in the states farther north than me. This morning I had to break up the ice every 2 hours in the chicken drinking bucket so they could get water. I think the fresh greens and feed I put out for them has frozen now at mid day and don't think the temp will get above freezing today or tomorrow. So have taken out fresh greens and seed to them, looks like a long day inside.<br />

I have pulled the rest of what I have in my garden including cabbage, peppers, and broccoli. I have some carrots still there, will have to see how they do...the cabbage will be good for the chickens../<br />

I think it might be the end to my garden except for the carrots, they should make it. I will pick the rest of the peppers and beans before then. I wonder if the cabbage could make it...<br />

They are funny to watch, there are some that come up to me and beg for something good and then there are some that keep their distance. Some are louder than others, and I have one that is a real pig, she far eats more than any of the others.<br />
