While nature often peeks in the windows, it never comes to the couch. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=awayhere.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13004142&amp;post=1480&amp;subd=awayhere&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because we chose to live so far from Eastsound Village, S and I wanted to depend more on natural resources, like the sun and wind for drying clothes, a woodpile for heating, worms for composting food wastes -- affordable alternatives to the more costly conveniences we'd  taken for granted in the city.  Some tradeoffs have been more successful than others.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=awayhere.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13004142&amp;post=1430&amp;subd=awayhere&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A short time after I relocated the bird feeder, I noticed one beaver-sized, eastern gray squirrel scouting the deck. The first time he approached the feeder, I opened the sliding door, made outrageous noises, (which I believe startled even the seals,) and he disappeared down the side of the deck into the bushes. What I didn’t foresee was the beginning of a full-scale war, which eventually escalated to include window patrols, rocks and eventually wire.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=awayhere.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13004142&amp;post=1384&amp;subd=awayhere&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is certainly a viable threat to anyone living in the Pacific Northwest. In the winter, the fewer daylight hours — mixed with more rainfall and persistently overcast skies – are even toxic to the generally upbeat. Comparatively, little things can brighten your mood easily — an unexpected sunburst, a full moon over the ocean, the discovery of a neighbor's Christmas tree tucked amongst the shadows.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=awayhere.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13004142&amp;post=1332&amp;subd=awayhere&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our house we are driven by three overarching but basic survival instincts:  don’t starve, don’t freeze and if all else fails don’t run out of gin. We stock plenty of black beans and soups, which can be heated on either the woodstove or the propane-fueled grill on the deck; we hoard firewood, junk mail and cardboard to burn. But gin - as it turns out - may be harder to ration in a state of emergency.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=awayhere.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13004142&amp;post=1239&amp;subd=awayhere&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The County race course is particularly challenging to sailors because the winds are unpredictable and varied and tidal currents often directionally confusing. Depending on the combination of wind direction and speed, tidal flow and currents, we’ve seen sailboats zoom by the Peapod Rocks like luggage on a conveyor belt. At other times, we’ve seen captains time the passage poorly during unfavorable winds and currents only to gain half a foot, give up, start their engine and motor on. It’s all in the timing.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=awayhere.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13004142&amp;post=1135&amp;subd=awayhere&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The San Juan Islands average 27 inches of rainfall annually, with four months, November through February, accounting for nearly half of all the precipitation. Add to the scenario shorter days, longer nights, a few gale-force winds and our own isolation, and it means we’re in for a long, dark winter. (In preparation, we’ve put away all our sharp knives, bulked up our woodpile, pulled out our winter fleece and stockpiled 14 varieties of soup.)<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=awayhere.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13004142&amp;post=1086&amp;subd=awayhere&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
