		<description><![CDATA[This is my standard, tried-and-true low fat granola recipe, which I&#8217;ve used for years. I no longer remember the original source, but I&#8217;ve made enough changes to it that I can probably call it my own now. As you can see, this granola takes a lot of ingredients. Some, like the steel cut oats, are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve mentioned previously, my in-laws are visiting us in Haines. Mom asked for my granola recipe, so, like any self-respecting denizen of the 21st century, I decided to copy the recipe from my blog onto an email, and deliver it that way. I wrote a multi-part series on making granola for the blog, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A geographic feature of our property forms a natural amphitheater at the south end of our beach. We&#8217;ve known about it for a while, ever since noticing that passing whales were much more audible if they passed while we were up in the forest above the boathouse. A surfacing whale can startle us badly on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a while now, we&#8217;ve been preparing the &#8220;homestead&#8221; for a visit we knew might not take place. We&#8217;ve been cleaning, straightening, and improving the cabin, and, especially, clearing obstructions from the trail. Our deadline is Saturday, but yesterday, we got the news: Michelle&#8217;s mom&#8217;s doctor has recommended that she not attempt to hike out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since a late winter wind storm, we have passed back and forth under half-fallen trees hanging over a section of our trail. Two trees growing side by side, with their root wads entwined, leaned past 45°, but failed to fall when they hung up in branches of trees on the other side of the [...]]]></description>

Our weather has become wetter. In the 24 hour period ending around 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning we got close to an inch of rain on [...]]]></description>

As we loaded our packs in the car, we looked down at our bikes, chained and hidden in the trees along the beach. They&#8217;d been knocked over, so we went to investigate. We found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The end of the long calm spell has brought a significant and extremely pleasant change to the homestead: we&#8217;re listening to music again. Music is an essential part of my family&#8217;s life, so much so that it never entirely disappears, it simply goes underground if the power&#8217;s low. Our stereo doesn&#8217;t draw much, but when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the last couple of days, we&#8217;ve suspected that the herring have arrived, but because of the choppy conditions, we haven&#8217;t been able to confirm this by looking in the water and seeing the shoals. Still, it seemed fairly obvious because of the increased activity among the herring eaters that have been gathering in recent [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been selling plans for the archaelogical/garden shaker sifter I built for Michelle on our online store. When I formalized the plans, I included an estimated time to build the tool. Since then, I&#8217;ve wanted to build another one [...]]]></description>
