Depressed? Don’t Read the News.

Posted by Kirk M on 17 Mar 2008 | Tagged as: The News, Times a changing

If you suffer from depression in anyway my advice to you is to not read the latest news unless it’s from the Good News Network or some other site like that. It won’t help your outlook that’s for sure. Even I’m starting to feel down in the dumps.

A 2 Day Snowstorm-Minding the Shop

Posted by Kirk M on 26 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: Life at home, Long Meadow Farms Quilts

The Northeast Kingdom is looking forward to a two day snow storm beginning around 10:00 AM this morning and guess where my better half is right now? About 2 hours south of here attempting to take care of the usual quilt shop business that springs up around this time of the year (first sign that [...] Read more »

Required reading: Tags and Categories-Tagged Again! Part I
Many thanks to Grandad. This absolutely horrendous, disjointed post is all his fault but he’ll probably blame it on K8.
And here we go….
I seem to be getting older these days. Not only am I getting older but it seems to be becoming a habit, a perpetual thing if [...] Read more »

Finally White

Posted by Kirk M on 15 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Life at home

A small but effective storm hit the Northeast Kingdom today and laid about 8" or more around the general area sufficient enough to make the whole area look like it really was the middle of Winter instead of looking like it was just before mud season. Won't help the snowmobile trails at all but those [...] Read more »

This is January?

It reached 55 degrees today, switching between sunny, rainy, windy, two of each or all three together and it switched back and forth on a moment's notice.
I was out running errands around 12:30 this afternoon and there was still a mist on the lake and parts of the bluff in the distance appeared to have [...] Read more »

A long Meadow Farms post: New Quilt size

Posted by Kirk M on 23 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Long Meadow Farms Quilts

A new size of quilt has come about due to an order from a lady who has two twin beds at home that she thought might look good with a couple of my lady’s quilts on them.
The “TwinFull” quilts! 
Now such a thing isn’t exactly as simple as one might think it is. As I [...] Read more »

Back again and oh the weather!

Posted by Kirk M on 20 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Just Thinkin

Made it back in one piece ok but coming over Sheffield heights (the mountain between St. Johnsbury and Barton, VT) was akin to driving in a shallow, fast moving river, the rain was coming down so hard. The peak of Sheffield Heights is the highest elevation of Interstate 91 at 1856 ft so you’re a [...] Read more »

A dreary day in the Kingdom and upcoming weather.

Posted by Kirk M on 01 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Just Thinkin, Life at home

Cold, cloudy and rainy in the Northeast kingdom today just like the day before yesterday as it will be tonight. Autumn has definitely arrived despite the green that’s still on the trees which, by the way, is turning color in that steady unstoppable pace. In other words, just like any other fall we’ve ever had.
