Landslides near our cabin have kept me away from Hive lately, but I have a kitty friend that helps me when I do have time for Hive.
🤳Wait, ChairWoman Meow Photo Dump First 🐆
I'll get to the landslides in just a bit, but until then, look at my cat yo. I suffered a two month Hive hiatus recently, but during that time I still took photos, and I am currently working through my camera roll to catch up to real time. I feel like these events took place a few weeks ago, but it could've also been 6 weeks, time kind of stands still here in the middle of nowhere.
I never intended for a cat to take over my camera and blog, but very much enjoy watching her experience new things and learn how to handle herself in this dangerous village full of dogs without gates or leashes. I understand why she's very particular about where and who she will sleep with, it's a very vulnerable situation for an eagle snack like ChairWoman Meow. On my lap is where she often spends her days, and I'm quite happy to have a deskmate.
🌊 The Floods Are Biblical Here 👳♂️
We suffered three landslides this season, all on the same slope that had problems last year. It's partly because our land isn't full of rocks like the forest, mostly due to the clay backfill that we and previous owners have dumped on the land to bring it up to road level. The land was also clearcut before we owned it and there are very few native trees holding up the river bank.
Combine this with an outside bend of the river, and it's a recipe for disaster. We can't grow anything fast enough in the dry season that will have strong enough roots to prevent a landslide the following season. We hope this year to have some kind of excavator get into the riverbed when it's dry season and ankle deep, then we could move some boulders to the bottom of our slope, both shoring up our bank and also allowing the water to flow more freely through this part of the river.
🦜 Kind Of Like A Pirate 🏴☠️
If Meow was a parrot and my turban was a tricorn, I guess I'd be a pirate. There are lots of places on our land that she's scared to visit by herself, but on my shoulder she quite enjoys exploring new territory. The above photo is awesome because I've always wondered what her facial expression is when I carry her around.
