Hi @fredaig! I purchase green coffee beans. They are called coffee cherries when they are on the coffee plant. When ripe, they are harvested and dried to remove the fruit covering the coffee beans. This can be done in the sun outdoors. Then they are bagged and shipped to countries. The beans at that point look green, hence the name. I have a fluid bed roaster that blows hot air into a chamber where the beans are. As they heat, they start to change color until the finish in about 13+ minutes, to the dark brown coffee. Then I grind as I need and make espresso. It's lovely!

The tree is just an old growth tree stump, left over from logging days gone by.

As for our winters; I've seen it rain enough to cause dangerous floods and I've seen snowfall of 3+feet! Last Christmas, we had a snow storm that dumped around 18" and then within 24 hours, it began to sleet on top of that! Very treacherous and dangerous. Trees broke, the power was down for a couple of days and you just didn't go out!

Some summers, we've seen 108 degrees and then sometimes in June, you would think it's winter as it rains, and rains and rains. It is very diverse with the weather.

I hope this answers your questions; sorry about writing a book, lol! Take care!

Learnt something new today about the coffee thou its so amazing how you prepare it. never knew coffee is planted which means it has a seed.

How do you survive over with such serious seasons, its very excess, So what seasons over there do you enjoy while carrying out your normal activities?

I love autumn! The humidity goes away, the mosquitos go away and there is a crispness to the air. The smell of wood smoke from wood stoves and fire places linger in the air and it's just lovely.

I don't mind spring too much as new growth is always exciting and I love to see the blossoms emerge from their long winter nap.

Summer can be a bit challenging for me if it's super hot and/or humid. It's probably the hardest for me to endure.

Winter-you don't work up much of a sweat hiking and snowshoeing is loads of fun. If the temps get below 20 degrees F, then I think twice about going out. I am fortunate to have a 4WD vehicle with studded snow tires, which helps me get to work.

I like all four season, but I'm sure from this, you can tell my favorite! Thank you for inquiring and have a lovely day! !LADY
