BOOKMARKS!
Hundreds of them have accumulated on my computer over the past couple of years.
Tonight I am finally grabbing the Firefox browser monkey by the neck — ripping it off my back — and starting to go through each and every bookmark to see if:
1.) …the links still work. (A surprising number of them don’t!)

Out here In The Woods, nighttime temperatures have dropped over the past week.
Since our arrival this summer, we’ve been sleeping in the Bunkhouse section of the barn’s add-on, the quaint white clapboard building next to the liquid amber tree seen in previous pictures.
It’s gotten down to the mid-20s recently, which is fairly frigid for a [...]
James and I went down to our dear friend L.’s house in Nevada City for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday afternoon. It was also wonderful to see her old friends J. & S. who spend this holiday there almost every year (along with July 4th).
We had not seen these friends for six years, at a July 4th [...]

We rely on two ancient, rusted-but-functional wood stoves to heat the Music Room and the Bunkhouse, rooms that are attached to the barn.
The Music Room is the better-insulated of the two. A Franklin stove dominates the middle of this space; it puts out a lot of heat once it gets going! This is where we [...]
For the second day in a row, our quiet skies are being BUZZED by small planes and copters, searching the area for marijuana crops.
The guy and gal who came out to install the HughesNet satellite internet system yesterday (HOORAY! It’s definitely faster than dialup! We like that!) said that they’d read something about it in [...]
