<br />
Well it has been a LONG while since i posted anything here. i was really caught up in work over the winter and into the spring... then there was a TON of garden related stuff to do.<br />
<br />
also, i didn't really know what to post about... more fish pictures, more dirt, rocks etc... and although i suppose these things are entertaining to a degree - they lack a sense of purpose, which made me feel like i was just posting pictures<br />
<br />
so i decided to add some "lessons learned" stuff to my posts and not in a "look at me i am so smart" way, but "this could save someone a lot of grief" way... i feel good these days and there are some practical reasons for this so i feel like it would be good to share what i have learned since moving here that might help people<br />
<br />
because this year is different...at last all of a sudden things aren't so challenging. or at least it seems that way... the homestead work was more familiar and challenges weren't so challenging it is just a matter of remembering what works and to help this along, i stopped doing something i have always done (and it drove kymber crazy! ;-) and that was..<br />
<br />
i stopped making job lists...<br />
<br />
i was religious about it, daily, seasonal, large projects...etc. i would put everything for the day on them, laundry, berkey filter, empty dishwasher, our planned meal..etc. etc. etc.<br />
<br />
as it turns out, it is unnecessary and can be a harmful diatraction, you will remember what needs to be done anyway.. and you won't have this thing screaming at you how much is left to do so you will make better choices about what to do next based on weather, how you are feeling, what HAS to be done etc. and you will be less stressed, work smarter, and use your memory as a list - which is great mental exercise..<br />
<br />
anyway it worked wonders for me - if you rely on a jobs list, try going without.. shopping list are completely different and necessary!!!<br />
<br />
okay now pictures and stuff..<br />
<br />
i did get some fishing in...here is the river at 7:00 Am - look how high the sun is this time of year!! <br />

another theme i will post about is being frugal in the right places... in this example - the BEST trout creel for me is an old kitty litter bucket - fits behind me in the canoe, i fill it with river water, and put all the trout i keep in there - they are always super fresh when i get back and clean them...7 year cost? zero - this is a great example of cost savings ...i will share some whopper mistakes with you - no worries!</div>

it's a little bit ugly but it does it's job just fine! the sink is actually a pre-molded shower base that someone threw in the garbage that jambaloney scarfed 5 years ago!!!<br />

greenhouse #1 is filled with new peppers and a variety of other things. and yes, we still have jambaloney's step-dad's seeding tray that he gave to us back in the city that we used to start seeds and protect plants every spring/summer.<br />

fresh-picked berries drizzled with raw honey, coconut milk, a ton of freshly-cracked black pepper and fresh mint from our garden - deelish!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we are very sorry that we haven't been posting regularly but sometimes life gets in the way. we really got a headstart on the gardening this year. i'll have further posts about the method we use to start seeds indoors, let them get them get big enough and then out to the greenhouse they go. our cucumbers, melons, and squashes are currently living in the greenhouse in the house and will be moved out soon. we'll plant our carrots in a few days and i am finally working on flowers while jambaloney is working on fixing the beds, digging and leveling areas and although the yard looks like a mess - heck it's our mess. but because we had the 2 greenhouses to move the plants to - we are feeling a little bit ahead this year (*knocks on head*). that means we can spend plenty of time making the yard a little neater. we are looking forward to that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
jambaloney also works on his contract pretty much everyday on top of all of the stuff he builds, fixes and all kinds of different stuff. he's been trout fishing and we have already had some beautiful, delicious fresh-caught trout meals for breakfast, dinner and supper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we are looking forward to river days, boating down to the ocean, and this year we promised each other to do some sight-seeing trips around the island. i will take many pics when we go out on our adventures. right now is one of the best springs we have ever had. we are planning to enjoy it and then summer will arrive. we have a ton of plans and we think it's going to be a pretty good and long spring, summer, and autumn this year. and one last thing before we sign out:</div>

i usually cook mine for 5 or 6 days by spending the day bringing it to a boil for 15 mins and then simmering it. i do this 5 or 6 times a day adding water as needed. this is going to be a very strong broth!<br />
<br />
i also made some croutons.<br />

i strained some of the beef broth and made a heavenly beef and kidney and veg stew with doughboys (Rain will probably be the only one that knows what a doughboy is!). they are kind of like dumplings but not really, and they are kinda like tea biscuits but not really. you drop spoonfuls of the dough on top of your stew to cook the doughboys.<br />

it was absolutely deelish! i use the same pate brissee crust all the time and it is always so flaky and buttery!<br />
<br />
so back to today march 1, 2018. i had my normal yoghurt with berries (rasberries and blueberries that we pick and freeze immedietely! jambaloney had his cereal and berries. we ran out of our blackberries a while back but we ate a whole bunch on the days we were picking them. we had re-heated meat pie for our dinner.<br />
<br />
such a gorgeous march 1 deserved a gorgeous meal of jambaloney's fresh striped bass that he caught in november and he cleaned and filleted them and then we put them in vaccuum-sealed bags. it tasted like he caught it today.<br />

<br />
we have barely had any snow - mostly dustings that melt the next day. this is probably the most snow we've had this year.<br />

those aren't peppercorns! i learned a new trick . those are papaya seeds that we dried and saved. when papaya season comes around again, i will be drying a ton of those things for preps. when ground up they taste very much like peppercorns.<br />

we've done several jobs around the house, had several hottub dips and even went out front and took our shirts off to let the sun on us for 10 mins. it was cold - but it was worth it!<br />
<br />
we're sorry we haven't been leaving comments on your blogs but we are reading them. the prob is, is that when jambaloney is at the computer he works on his contract. and i am responsible for petting cats, feeding cats, finding cats, etc. and a bunch of other stuff like replanting some of our houseplants and getting seeds ready for planting soon - woohoo!<br />
<br />
spring is just around the corner (knocks on head because we still have to get through march!) - but it really feels like it is just around the corner!<br />
<br />
lastly, our blogging friends Leigh and Dan from <a href="http://www.5acresandadream.com/" target="_blank">5 acres and a dream</a> are in a bit of a situation. Dan hurt 2 of his fingers and their medical expenses are through the roof! if you could stop by their blog and give Dan some encouragement, that would be appreciated! Leigh has a GoFundMe page set up on their blog, so if you can give a little, that would also be appreciated too! but mostly, keep them in your prayers and hope for a quick recovery for Dan.<br />

<br />
and the end result is a bed with a lot more aeration - plus this stuff will slowly decompose over the years - i think we will have great yields next year - all in all i fixed up 6 raised beds that are 4 feet x 12 feet and one smaller bed - this and the comfrey tea should be perfect next year- plus the beds are ready to be planted - in the spring i will cover them to keep weeds down until we need them..<br />

hope you are all ready for winter - cheers!jambaloneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13084215893557618903noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-4211385389146127132018-01-18T14:46:00.001-04:002018-01-18T14:47:51.806-04:00trying to keep a long story short is not always possible!so, it's been a while...but we think you'll all understand when we let you in on the secret...later.<br />
<br />
first off - seems like everyone has been experiencing a sheer month of crap weather - we've never had staying snow this early (it started staying in mid-end december!), we've had every kind of storm known to man - days on end of the whole house rattling and shaking from the wind, snow, more snow, freezing cold temperatures, rain, hail, sleet, sleet snow, rain snow, ghost snow, and some horribly windy days. imagine our disbelief to find out that during the past 3weeks of crap weather - we've had it much easier than the rest of the island, the mainland and NB!!! sure we had power outages, during our worst wind/snow storm the winds were up to 110kph gusts!!! we prayed for the linemen who were up on poles, dangling in that awful wind and snow, getting us our power back. but we have enough of these kinds of storms that we know what to do and just get everything set up. we were out of power for almost 2 days and that could have been pretty chilly but we use a ginormic kerosene heater until we feel the need for the generator.<br />
<br />
we had to replace our generator after one storm but hey - it lasted 6 full years and every time we needed it - it worked! we only use our generator for heat if we have to - we don't open the fridge or freezer and we are usually powered back up in 2 days or less. and now we have an even better generator - woohoo! the heat situation will be taken care of when we build our addition as we have a gorgeous little wood stove that our Big bro G and Big Sis C (thank you both very much!) gave us a few years ago. jambaloney is really good with restoring things like that.<br />
<br />
today it looks like this - winter wonderland.<br />

well kids - it's time to come clean. we know that some of our closest blogfriends have probably already guessed this, being that they served in the military, overseas, on big giant US Navy boats, various deployments and TD's - we're talking about Harry, Duke, Sweet Sandy, JUGM, TB and Ed. yes - we contract for the CIA. jambaloney's whole gig at Lobsters 'R US is fully-CIA-funded. and you know how he sometimes goes down to our gorgeous, beautiful empty beach to fish?<br />

the beach is his "drop zone"....those in the know will know what that means.<br />
<br />
and remember how we don't celebrate birthdays except this year me and my Big sis C went for facials on my birthday? nope, she's in on it to. she was the get-away driver.<br />
<br />

<br />
Big Sis C is off in the distance getting ready to pick me up at the slightest sign of something going wrong. no worries, everything went really well and i got the drop.<br />
<br />
then on jambaloney's birthday, i had to go to another drop. so on jambaloney's birthday me and my besty C went in for a facial (for her) and a manicure for me.<br />

the greenhouses have been cleaned up and jambaloney got a bunch of pots ready for cold-hardy things to come up first thing in spring.<br />

that's edgar houdini, another stray that we took in. he comes in from being outside - all proud of himself, scratches his box like a big man and then climbs on it to sleep. he is the sweetest, tiniest, furriest little cat with stumpy little legs. we call him houdini because he escaped a locked bathroom twice!!!! and somehow when jam took him out for some air (after his surgery) on a leash - he escaped that too. he's also called the stink-eyed rat...you don't want him to put the stink eye on you....oh no!<br />
<br />
this is noodie-noo, noodin, he doesn't wear pants.<br />

he's cranky, he's old, he'll stand in front of the kitty litter (we have several and clean them after each cat does his business - makes jambaloney nuts!) and no matter where i am in the house i will sense that little man's eyes burning in my head and will have to come to whichever kitty litter box he is at, i will have to scoop around the litter (it's empty), he will do his little sneeze and then daintily put a toe in to make sure it is clean!<br />

<br />
and now on to the new guy. another stray that someone just dropped off who found his way onto our porch through the cat doors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx3_Q22ZJZdJiWwA4DVXXuy6ZGcw2Nl-nPw5nzmH92P32h_h9ybMupQDE94olkyF0wYLcdazJOQBDT_kiPQV4ABHKaLMmFydH57nadMICxTZ4UQsKqoCJdDB8n7w6m_sb4i1gdYp0w9QYj/s1600/0034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1152" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx3_Q22ZJZdJiWwA4DVXXuy6ZGcw2Nl-nPw5nzmH92P32h_h9ybMupQDE94olkyF0wYLcdazJOQBDT_kiPQV4ABHKaLMmFydH57nadMICxTZ4UQsKqoCJdDB8n7w6m_sb4i1gdYp0w9QYj/s320/0034.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
we made him a warm bed on the porch with food and water and we bring him in the house as often as we can. he seems to like to leave after breakfast in the morning, goes somewhere, and then comes home at suppertime for his supper. he always has a full bowl of dry cat food on the porch and fresh water and when he comes in the house he cleans everybody else's plates.<br />
<br />
so that's 5 stray cats we have now. we have named this little man Fin as jambaloney, who used to work in restaurants, said that all the staff called 5 dollar bills "fin". but as usual, our cats cannot have only one name - they need many to consider and ponder - ( see T.S. Eliot's "The Naming of Cats") - he has already acquired the moniker Feng Shui. he will soon have 5 or 6 more names.<br />
<br />
jamie is taking him in to the vet tomorrow - it's going to be a long night because he's a howler. we're going to feed him as much as he can eat until 8 and then we have to take turns being with him in the bathroom all night. it's gonna be a long night but since he is so young ( i think maybe 2), and all of our other cats are older, he needs to get fixed as he is just starting to show signs of wanting to spray things. so far the cats are putting up with him and we think he will fit in just fine once fixed.<br />
<br />
and i know this post has been fairly long (i love long posts with pics and stuff like Harry's and Rain's), but i just have a few more things to share.<br />
<br />
look at this beautiful card that my friend Rain painted and sent to me. i wish you could see and feel the texture. the picture doesn't do it justice!<br />

<br />
and then for some crazy reason - CIA-related or not - you be the judge - but i decided i wanted to get jambaloney something special for his birthday.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJRUQ8DnVSsL6VQtWhUkJwsUOdTJRU3OYUtZlKtOSQC8jAN-ZFPbwKdWGdfYIBRrvNKb0IQvtXCol7PpsiuhurLlsoE7nDJgJxSm8sRxFKyuzIuLNfaAWPjC-F9BxEW88zGD1x8w6vp6Hs/s1600/0037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="864" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJRUQ8DnVSsL6VQtWhUkJwsUOdTJRU3OYUtZlKtOSQC8jAN-ZFPbwKdWGdfYIBRrvNKb0IQvtXCol7PpsiuhurLlsoE7nDJgJxSm8sRxFKyuzIuLNfaAWPjC-F9BxEW88zGD1x8w6vp6Hs/s320/0037.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
some say that cycles of 7 are very important in our lives. as this is jambaloney's 7th year here, i thought i would make it a little special. so i got him this star map of all of the stars that were in the sky at midnight on his birthday. the station that took the pic is near Cole Harbour on the mainland of Nova Scotia looking northward. here is the sky part - sooo beautiful!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
and it says "we are all in the gutter...but some of us are looking at the stars" which is my favourite quote from Oscar Wilde. i have written that quote in every journal, diary, garden planner forever. i loooove that quote! i wrote it in journals that i wrote for jambaloney and when he got me my first (and only) IPOD nano he had that quote inscribed on the back of it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5Zy-wsqtb3PKWm1vU0YvN5HF-grChkVgL9uSftVglAoADlGRorrnmZ2dSJUoDIoHy3x76L272JYyV7KJGspnsVAaW0jYf-Im5qNr6wkrU39fWi5hH8O25mQw3IdCCR3fAu8dyjlpaz_U/s1600/0039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1152" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5Zy-wsqtb3PKWm1vU0YvN5HF-grChkVgL9uSftVglAoADlGRorrnmZ2dSJUoDIoHy3x76L272JYyV7KJGspnsVAaW0jYf-Im5qNr6wkrU39fWi5hH8O25mQw3IdCCR3fAu8dyjlpaz_U/s320/0039.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
the rest of it says "i love looking at the stars here with you. fyg". as you all know we sit out in the hottub and stare at the clearest of skies - that's when it's not storming, raining, etc. and we love looking at the sky! it's soooo big here! the "fyg" is how i have always signed emails, love notes, cards etc. to jambaloney - it means "forever your girl".<br />
<br />
i will frame it and hang it in our new addition. until then, we will just have to keep staring up at our night sky.<br />
<br />
and last but not least - munkey-monoonch and his big brother moey-shamby enjoying the cat paths that jambaloney clears all around the house and all around the back yard. the cats really appreciate these paths. and so do me and jam when we do our "walk-abouts".<br />

<br />
next post up is about getting the beds ready for spring, jambaloney's gonna do a post about grading the driveway several times before the snow came, and then using the tractor to shovel the driveway. i am so glad that we got that tractor - he can shovel our driveway top to bottom on average in 2-2 and a half hours. used to take him 3-4, 6-8 hour days BY HAND. no more of that!<br />
<br />
i'll also put up a post soon about our highlights of 2017 and our dreams for 2018.<br />
<br />
sorry we have been MIA but you all understand the CIA stuff and all - bahhahahahahaahaah!<br />

that cat can smell a box from 18 miles away. i had to pick him up 3 times and move him and he kept getting in the box! finally i had to put him outdoors!<br />
<br />
we don't really celebrate our birthdays but this year i wanted to do something different - i wanted to take my big sis C for a facial. so november 10th is when i got my real birthday gift. jambaloney paid for me and my big sis C to go and have facials and a nice lunch together. here she is in all of her glory and beautiful smile.<br />

we went to a christmas store which was actually a flower shop, and then finally made it to the actual christmas store...it's too difficult to explain. we were hanging on to telephone poles and each other trying not to blow away! and then there were the sheets of rain belting us in the head!<br />
<br />
C got some cute little christmas balls for her grandchildren.<br />

it was the only place i could have a cigarette without being stormed on! we went back a few times throughout the day.<br />
<br />
here we are grinning like fools because we are now heading off to our facials.<br />

C has never had a facial (not like she needs one - the woman doing her facial told her how beautiful her skin is!). so we each went into a room and both of us came out drunk. or that's how we felt! i fell off the bed trying to put my clothes back on and C said she was hanging on to chairs and other furniture to get her clothes on. they gave us beautiful facials but they also rubbed all kinds of stuff in our hair. C said her hair was sticking straight up and that she looked like bart simpson. so she asked to go to the bathroom to fix her hair and she wobbled down the hall from one side of the wall to the other because she could barely walk. i completely understood - i could barely see and was wobbly too!<br />
<br />
we laughed and laughed and C is even considering doing another one, with our other friends, in the future. she thanked me for a beautiful day and i thanked her. it was a wonderful time out with my sis.<br />
<br />
november 11th. when we were kids at school we always celebrated Remembrance Day. and our town always had a Remembrance Day parade. i always enjoyed the parade and through grade 7-12 i was always in the parade - our cheerleading squads were always part of the parade. and all the members of the legion marched and people waved and cheered. it was lovely!<br />
<br />
i always felt special knowing that my grandmother, an immigrant, served in the military. i have her service card.<br />

i have a proper service card with stamps and signatures and whatnot but sometime in the early 90's we were issued with new military numbers which used to be our social security numbers. i can still rhyme off my social security number and military number without blinking an eye.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i'm a little late in saying thank you to all who served but i think that most of you know that i am and always will be thankful. to those who served and their families. not much is said about the wives and sons and daughters of serving men - but to me - their job was the toughest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

my two young friends S and K wanted to put the glowsticks on my buns. i gave all my girlfriends spider rings to wear. we had a blast and a hoot and a half. a great time was had by all.<br />
<br />
my Big Sis C bought a bunch of pumpkins to put on her deck and then told us we could have them. don't mind that at all, i sure don't! tons of roasted pumpkin and pumpkin soup coming up this winter. not to mention all of those delicious pumpkin seeds!<br />
<br />
well, i must have bored you all to tears by now! but we have had a wonderful october and november is looking just as good.<br />
<br />
we're hoping that you are enjoying autumn 2017 as much as we are!!!! xoxkymberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-68895453058163367662017-10-20T22:10:00.003-03:002017-10-20T22:10:52.585-03:00driveway...and early morning striped bass from the beach!jambaloney here !<br />

so as you all know we have a tractor now ( i like to call it "traktor" - it is the socialist in me ;-)<br />
<br />

<br />
anyway - our driveway needs work - i normally do it by hand but at 160 feet down and 60 feet by the house - this has been harder and harder work ... so let's say hellooooo to the back blade!!!<br />
<br />
first off i had to remove the backhoe - it was fairly easy - the bx23s comes with an advances coupling system - one person can remove the backhoe...<br />

the pics are a month old - the driveway is holding up great - it needs a bit more work to be ready for winter - but it will be MUCH easier to clear - plus we have a traktor now - saved a pile of $$ too so the traktor is paying itself off!!<br />

<br />
but i looooove a full spread of thanksgiving turkey dinner and jambaloney can attest to the fact that i can eat platefulls of turkey and gravy and stuffing and mashed and carrot and turnip for several days in a row - then i bust out the jams and start eating hot turkey sandwiches, cold turkey sandwiches, turkey poutine (it's at this point that i have to make more gravy from scratch as i like all of my servings of turkey to come in a soup bowl...as soup!). i can eat turkey everyday from canadian thanksgiving, to american thanksgiving (which we celebrate in november) and right up to xmas dinner. for 3 entire months of the year i can live off turkey and fixings!<br />
<br />
it was an incredibly beautiful day......very warm.<br />

the last 2 beautiful trout that jambaloney caught at the end of the season, and we froze, for this very reason!<br />
<br />

a tomatoe and cucumber salad from our garden (minus the lemon and oil) and mussels that jambaloney picked for me today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one of the best things about harvesting is saving seeds...we love saving our own seeds year after year.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKcBmmjRLyuoFLUc3zRDD7QOaOe-cb149ynWoqYmuji_mziVNJtM4_dfbE77BiPAytuZ-ptK4-f1-KloOUlsZNVB4C0YrRgREXe3TKxXhTVeg0FpLc8BVBt-p4-IICD2vyYLkz6FC8BI1Z/s1600/0012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1152" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKcBmmjRLyuoFLUc3zRDD7QOaOe-cb149ynWoqYmuji_mziVNJtM4_dfbE77BiPAytuZ-ptK4-f1-KloOUlsZNVB4C0YrRgREXe3TKxXhTVeg0FpLc8BVBt-p4-IICD2vyYLkz6FC8BI1Z/s320/0012.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
and then there is this experience keeping us interested - collecting nasturtium seeds. some to be saved as seed and some to be turned into "poor man's capers".<br />

he's been busy working on his contract, working on the driveway, working in the yard, making mulch, getting 3 of our raised beds amended and ready for fall planting (garlic is done and onions go out tomorrow) - plus all of the other stuff around here that he does - he's a busy guy!<br />
<br />
me? i've been petting cats, giving them their daily mcsauges, chasing the man around the yard with a glass of water, feeding cats, making food and generally just loving life.<br />
<br />
stay tuned as the next post will contain all of the stuff we have already canned and stuff we plan to can. knowing that you have food to get you through the upcoming winter and knowing EXACTLY what is in that food - ugh. the feeling is of tremendous relief!<br />
<br />
jambaloney will have a post coming soon about the work he has done in the driveway - it's pretty impressive!<br />

<b>The Island (official Song Of Cape Breton Island) lyrics</b></div>
<div class="sp" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; height: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana;">
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Over an ocean and over a sea </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Beyond these great waters, oh, what do I see </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">I see the great mountains which climb from the coastline </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">The hills of Cape Breton, this new home of mine </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Oh, we come from the countries all over the world </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">To hack at the forests, to plow the lands down </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Fishermen, farmers and sailors all come </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">To clear for the future this pioneer ground </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">We are an island, a rock in a stream </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">We are a people as proud as there's been </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">In soft summer breeze or in wild winter wind </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">The home of our hearts, Cape Breton </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Over the rooftops and over the trees </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Within these new townships, oh, what do I see </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">I see the black pitheads; the coal wheels are turning </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">The smoke stacks are belching and the blast furnace burning </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">And the sweat on the back is no joy to behold </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">In the heat of the steel plant or mining the coal </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">And the foreign-owned companies force us to fight </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">For our survival and for our rights </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">We are an island, a rock in a stream </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">We are a people as proud as there's been </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">In soft summer breeze or in wild winter wind </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">The home of our hearts, Cape Breton </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Over the highways and over the roads </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Over the Causeway stories are told </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">They tell of the coming and the going away </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">The cities of America draw me away </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">And though companies come and though companies go </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">And the ways of the world we may never know </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">We'll follow the footsteps of those on their way </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">And still ask for the right to leave or to stay </span><br />
<br />

<div>
the barra macneils sing it so beautifully! i still can't figure out a way of embedding videos using this new computer -arrrfhfhfh. so please click on the link to see how we sing this song. there is no one in cape breton who can't sing this song. it means the world to me...and remember jambaloney's father was born here too, so he has a special feeling for this place (plus he loves the trout fishing here!). please take a listen...it is such a beautiful song...and i am feeling melancholy right now from not feeling up to par the last week. the ladies will understand what i mean. and my men friends will just understand that it's lady stuff, ya know?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
this is the song of my island...my father was a coal miner for 27 yrs, this is a land i had to leave over 30yrs ago....and always promised myself i would return to...even tho most days i didn't really believe i would ever make it home. but i kept my faith. i did my best and somehow....i made it home. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we had a long day today - as many of you have had dealing with hurricanes and storms and wild rains and wind....we feel for everyone who has been dealing with things like losing their homes, their barns, their wildstock and every little thing like losing a lock a barn door...which if you are dealing with any of that is horrific and terrifying. we have been dealing with the aftermath of those things...sooo much smaller but we still have had terrifying winds and weird weather. but we've had some good weather too. and our harvest is coming in daily.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and for that i am sooo thankful for. but i just needed to hear this song to bring my spirits up. i worked my whole career off of my island ( i left when i was 15 to go to college and stayed in ottawa for another 20 yrs), and although i always dreamed i would come home...it was never solid. i was never sure i could come home. and now i am home. i am finally home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the home of my heart - cape breton.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
please listen to to the official song of my island. tell me what you think about it. i think i can sing about 13 national anthems of other countries and places. test me and i will make some horrible you-tube videos singing for you - bahahahah! no, i just want you to understand who i really am. and hope that you will love my land as much as i and jambaloney do. please take 5 mins and listen to my island's song.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i sang myself to sleep to it every night until i came back home. 7 yrs ago. i couldn't possibly be more thankful.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sending love. xoxoxo<br />
<br />
EDITED to add another, higher pitched version of our island's song....watch this and see everyone in the crowd singing.<br />

that is a load of garlic! we will sort them and keep the big ones and re-plant the little ones to harvest next fall - amazing!<br />

<br />
you may say "kymber, they look so small?" and i would say back to you - "have you ever eaten an onion that you grew yourself?" - because they are pretty powerful and go a long way. they, too, will be sorted, big ones kept for eating and little ones planted back out in a day or two.<br />
<br />
now here's a trick i learned....jambaloney got some organic onions from the mainland and 2 of them started to sprout. so i planted them each in a pot and now have 8 onions. oh i have learned my lesson and learned it well!<br />

we will sort them all and the ones we keep will go in a cardboard box (each separate) with a towel over them for the winter. as i said before, all of the smallest onion and garlic will be replanted in the next day or two.<br />
<br />
we had veg stirfy for supper - deelish! the secret to the best rice is one that jambaloney came up with - add a couple of drops of almond oil to your rice - oh it is sooooo delicious!<br />

an old blanket that the movers left us 7 years ago...our 5 yr old lounger covers...we've been using that plastic bag for at least 3 yrs - it goes in the kitty litter bucket to store my camera when we are out on the water.<br />
<br />
of course - we always eat like kings when we are at the river. beet green salad with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, hemp hearts, chia seeds, hemp oil and black currant vinegar.<br />

thank you. thank you very much. it was an honour just to be nominated. that's a big beef, 2 scotias, and 3 cherry tomatoes. that's a green pepper, some sweet italian peppers, and some hot wax. there's sorrel, basil, coriander and parsely. green onions and 2 red onions. and kids - yes - that is a corn!!!<br />
<br />
jambaloney's never-ending jar of pickled peppers was topped up...i removed the old grape leaves and added new ones, plus stirred it all around so that the older peppers mix with the new.<br />

each of those tiny bulbils will grow into a garlic bulb...it might take 5 years but they'll do it. and that's why we save them. for <a href="http://framboisemanor.blogspot.ca/2015/06/guerrilla-gardening-island-style.html" target="_blank">geurilla gardening</a>.<br />

<br />
well, i'm back online, hate the new set-up, hate my new inbox, hate the layout of stuff - pretty much hate it all. but, and this is huge, my blogger is still the exact same and when i checked a few of your blogs out just to see if everything was the same - it is! so i'll get by...and be by to your blogs in a bit!<br />

<br />
my computer died the day before yesterday, so me man is gone into town to get me a new one...nothing fancy and on sale too - woohoo!<br />
<br />
once he gets home, he'll be downloading my old hard-drive so that i won't lose anything (even though he backs up our computers every week) and then he'll set me up with a new computer that i will probably hate!<br />
<br />
i can still respond to comments using his computer but it will come up as jambaloney and not kymber. no biggee. i've got a great post of daily harvests coming and we are cooking our first tiny corn today - woohoo!<br />
<br />

you need a good breakfast for a river day! overnight oats with fresh blackberries and raspberries picked from our own land! (most people make overnight oats with milk and yoghurt but we make ours with coconut milk, almond milk and a splash of pineapple juice).<br />

you can see that my 2 herb books are pretty used. jambaloney just got this new python book to sharpen his skills and he wants me to learn to code, too.<br />

we had a lovely labour day weekend and coudn't believe how quiet it was. there weren't very many cottagers up and the ones who were weren't noisy at all! whew! what a relief! jambaloney has spent several days doing the first pass of the driveway - you wouldn't believe how many giant rocks he had to stop the tractor, get off, pick-ax the giant rocks and then get back on the tractor only to get 2 more ft done before he hit another big rock!!!!! poor guy! he will have a post up about all what he did and why with pics - it's pretty impressive i must say!!!<br />
<br />
and to end with good news - we've got tons of potatoes, we've got tomatoes, we've got zucchini, we've got cucumbers, we've got corn, we've got squash and we even have a few tiny watermelon - woohooo! and with our extended growing season, plus the greenhouses - i think this will be a bumper year! we'll be harvesting some stuff today and tomorrow so i'll be sure to post pics!<br />

great to have a 8 food bed which is full - the boards sticking out are 10 footers... last greenhouse i bought regular lumber and painted it- it was a LOT of work for not a lot of savings - this greenhouse is all pt lumber<br />

Strachan's Brook is about 1/3 of a mile away from us, whereas our river is about 1/4 of a mile away from us. we'll be going down to the river in just a bit - but a gorgeous day makes for celebrating Vladimir "poutine"! back in the city, we had incredible access to the most delicious curds known to man. since coming to the island it's hit and miss so when we find good curds - we jump on them and celebrate a Vladimir "poutine" day. it's an inside joke that i am sure none of you will find funny but i will share it with you all anyway!<br />
<br />
when jambaloney and i first started dating 16 years ago - we developed our own way of speaking. i was working at Solgen, he was working at PWGSC and we would send each other 20 million emails a day and then when we got home from work, we would get on the phone and many nights fell asleep on the phone. i worked with some of the best colleagues and bosses in my life and when i would come into work, they would all chirp, like little birds - "kymber's in lerrrrve"!". best job of my life it was. well, anyway, to make a long story longer - jambaloney and i developed this certain way of speaking (it was also at that time that we refused to use capital letters in our emails to each other!) and 2 of my colleagues who i showed the emails to, said that our writing to each other was "twitterbugging". i love that term to this day. but between jambaloney and i - we have invented words that no one else could ever understand and we re-name things for fun.<br />
<br />
enter Vladimir "poutine" (pronounced poo-teen). poutine is a canadian national dish made of curds, gravy and fries. we got some local, organic curds and went haywire! we made breakfast using our own potatoes and fresh-made gravy - oh it was an all-out Vladimir "poutine" celebration day!<br />

cape breton english is screwy to say the least - the french people speak a weird kind of french, the gaelic people speak a weird kind of gaelic, the english people speak so fast it's hard to understand them - and then they mix it all in together - it's crazy! but lots of fun! example: jambaloney works in L'Ardoise - which properly pronounced is "lar-dwoi" - but everyone here - even the french call it "lordways". it's a pretty funny place this island of mine!<br />

all in all, everything at the Manor is beautiful. even the overgrown grass, the horrible driveway, and poor jambaloney down in the basement (more like a h*ell hole!) trying his darndest to fix it - it's been a lovely week.<br />

i can't wait to show you our new boat motor and stand that jambaloney built - and we'll be taking you all for a ride on the river tomorrow! it's going to be awesome!<br />

they are a famous brewery from <a href="http://tatabrew.com/" target="_blank">Tatamagouche</a>, Nova Scotia. jambaloney loves this delicious brew! i like to take a drink from his can every now and again, but i prefer wine.<br />
<br />
anyway - we toasted to W and both had a sip and then jambaloney tooled around on drunk-tractordura - now named W-tractordura in honour of our friend. we thank our friend W for all of the advice that he has provided, excellent advice because he was born in europe, lived in canada and smuggled digby scallops in his suitcase, and now lives in a secret compound somewhere in the US. he's been everywhere, he's done everything and somehow through our dumb little blog we made his acquaintance and he has never let us down!<br />
<br />
he's a man with a lot of talents and lived to tell the tale. i'll get his life story out of him one of these days! he's not only an intelligent and funny "been there - done that - got a t-shirt and a gun" kind of guy - he's actually really sweet and a very good friend of ours!<br />
<br />
if you are so inclined you can raise a drink, 2 or 5 - bahahah! (he would love 5!!!) to our friend W this evening!!!!<br />
<br />
we love you W!!!

<br />
but if we did - we would want Bill Garza as our county sheriff! why...you ask? because this is a true and proper family man, a man who raised 4 incredible children - but do not discount his amazing wife in all of this! he is former military and an LEO...and a pastor! and none of those things can be taken lightly! why am i posting this on our blog? because we have known these crazy new mexicans for over 10 yrs...they were always there for us - we learned just about everything we know about homesteading because of them - and they have always been great friends!<br />
<br />
so, to all of our american readers - if you "want to make america great again" - it has to start at the grass-roots level! i am going to ask you to donate to Bill's campaign by going here:<br />

as for Bill and his want to run for Sheriff, no one can do a better job of describing him then his wife of 29 years, my dear friend who jumped right in when i was a brand new - noobie - blogger trying to run the canadian preppers network without much support - ya, she is the one who can describe him the best - and i have her permission to copy this here:<br />

was invested in her. As my dad was

honorable man could be found than Bill. He would give you the shirt off his
back and then work alongside you to help you if you ever had a need. He is a man with a brilliant sense of
humor…in a slightly 1950s quirky way that keeps me laughing each day. Bill is a
family man. No matter the day nor hour, he will do whatever it takes to help
the kids or me. We also claim all the
kid’s in-laws and claim them as family and so each gathering gets larger and
larger. Bill is a godly man. I hesitate to share this, because we have the
mega church pastors that live lifestyles in grand homes, with a fleet of cars.
Bill is a godly man as the Bible commands, he lives by treating his neighbor as
he treats himself, and loves God with his heart, mind and soul. I cannot go anywhere, and I mean anywhere,
without having to stop and visit with people that know Bill and want me to know
how he has been a part of their lives. Often, I do not know exactly who Bill is
helping or working with until I meet them in the community as he works quietly
and quickly for anyone and everyone that has a need. Most recently, it was with a family that only
spoke Spanish. Their 19-year-old son fell off a Cliffside and was killed…it
took nearly 24 hours to recover the body as the terrain was so dangerous. Bill responded to the scene with the
sheriff’s office, but immediately realized that he needed to take the family
off the mountain as they were distraught thinking about their son. Bill still
takes calls from this family and most likely will for some time to come as they
work through their grief. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
