I have often said that the North is a fine place to live but I wouldn’t want to work there, for when one works the mind is focused on work and little else. Seldom do we ever take time to step back from our personal grindstone and, according to Keats, “. Look into the fair and open face of Heaven. Some pleasant lair of wavy grass. 169; ManNorth, Summer, 2000. Yes, yes, we're alright! I've m...

A woman, a man and life north of the Arctic circle. Thursday, July 17, 2008. Welcome to our garden! We began working our plot at the end of May and had planted our seeds and seedlings that we had started indoors (in small flats and empty buttermilk. By the beginning of June. Working the plot initially meant breaking up the somewhat frozen soil, mixing in lots of compost and watering, watering and watering again. Here's what our plot looked like then:. And from another angle:. Here are our greens close up:.

A woman, a man and life north of the Arctic circle. Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Reality beats sci-fi any day. I just stumbled across the Boston Globe's Advent collection of photos taken from the Hubble Space telescope. This fantastic photo above is of the NGC 6302 nebula, view the others in the Globe's advent collection. And tour around the Hubble site. To see more beautiful and amazing imagery in their galleries and learn more about discoveries they've made and about modern astronomy. When I Drop Dead.

So, um, there! Now that the mercury has dropped below z...

A woman, a man and life north of the Arctic circle. Saturday, July 19, 2008. Using willow twigs as plant stakes is fine, but what they are really great for is for making things. Things like baskets or, in the case of my garden, birds! What do you think? Here is bird #1(for which I was happy that it simply looked bird-like):. And bird #2 (I love her feet! And bird #3 (He's a bit more difficult to spot when visitors try to find all four birds.):. Is that your nasturtium in the first photo? We're two sourdo...

A woman, a man and life north of the Arctic circle. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. I think that I may have forgotten to mention ManNorth's superhero status to all of you. Hmm Yes. I think I have, owing to it being secret and all. (Of course, this is no surprise to those of you who have met him, but we don't speak about it much publicly, owing to the superhero secrecy oath he had to take, which is itself secret.
