Twenty-nine years ago today, at about a quarter to midnight, I decided to get this show called life on the road. Today I will be out celebrating with good food, wonderful friends, trips to farms and the most amazing karaoke experience outside South Korea. The recap of this spectacular celebration will follow sometime soon. I am pretty proud of where I have come over the
MuddyClogs Grows Up
MuddyClogs began as a casual garden journal for me, but over the last year and a half my needs have grown and I no longer fit those shoes. I will continue writing my blog about the budding food forest, urban chickens, and quirky Portland life as a hip chick digging life on an urban homestead. Moving to a new website just allows me to do
Busy Week
It’s been almost a week since my last post and it grates on me to go that long without writing. Unfortunately, it has been a really tough week at my day job. I do a relatively good job of not bringing work home with me, meaning I don’t think about it once I leave the office. But this week I couldn’t escape it. Although things
The Joiner Updates
In a flurry of adventurous ambition, I volunteered to help out at a few different events this summer. There was the Foster-Powell (Fo-Po) Garden Tour. Then I signed up for the Lents Farmer’s Market. And finally the 5th Annual Tour de Coops. All of these are events here in Portland. The Fo-Po Garden Tour was a fun, smaller event. A few people came through the
Home Away From Home
As I mentioned in my hasty post this morning, I just returned from a lovely week in Oklahoma visiting family. My in-laws live there and that has been a wonderful opportunity to explore a part of the country I never knew much about. My fourth of July could not have been more picturesque or more “classic American”. There we all were – about 12 of
Six Random Things About Me
I have been tagged by Laura over at the (not so) Urban Hennery. Here are the rules: Link to the person who tagged you. Post the rules on the blog. Write six random things about yourself. Tag six people at the end of your post. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. Let the tagger know when
What Wonβt I Give Up?
I am obviously new to this “tagging” business because it took me a couple days to figure out what I am suppose to do with the shout out that Phelan gave me. She writes a great blog called “A Homesteading Neophyte“. The challenging question is “What will you refuse to give up to save Mother Earth?” That’s hard. Hmmm…. #1) Fine cheese – I don’t
Waiting
I planned to write a nice long post Friday afternoon, but that didn’t happen. I got home that sunny afternoon and my mom called me, sobbing on the other end of the phone. My 84 year old grandfather is not doing well. I knew he went into the hospital Wednesday night, but you just get used to people recovering, so I assumed he would. My
Jay 3.0
I have been missing in action the last several days because we have been celebrating what I am calling “Jay 3.0”. In other words, my fabulous husband Jay turned 30 this past weekend. We rented out a huge beach house on the Oregon coast and invited some of his closest friends. The car was loaded up with everything we could want for a long, leisurely
