While I was taking yet another picture of a rock (this time at the Brink of Upper Falls…I’m not sure why I was so obsessed with them except I thought they were pretty), our housesitters called in a complete panic to tell us that our outside freezer was acting up. Food was melting and they were transferring meat from the outside freezer to the inside one.
We rushed to explain that our freezer goes through “defrost cycles” and that was most likely the cause.
Either that, or while we’re over here in Yellowstone (spending money on shirts, new hiking boots, and Smartwool socks), we’re losing an entire freezer full of homegrown fruit and expensive meat.
About Marie de Haan
Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
