Saruman’s Spies
EJ had some physically difficult days at work this last week, and he was utterly exhausted, so I have encouraged him to rest this weekend. Yesterday I made challah bread for the first time in a long time, and I fixed a beautiful Shabbat… Continue Reading “Saruman’s Spies”
Turkeys and Other Stuff
We have decided to stay north again this weekend. The weekend before last–when we drove south in the middle of the night, right after EJ got out of work, so we could be at the old house to let in the guys installing the… Continue Reading “Turkeys and Other Stuff”
Enchanted 4th
We did not drive the long journey south to the old house this weekend. Not only did we not want to travel on a busy holiday weekend–it’s the USA’s Independence Day–but after all the weekends at the old house, we wanted to experience a… Continue Reading “Enchanted 4th”
Fireworks
Last weekend’s grueling trip south took a lot out of us, so I have not taken on any huge projects this week…like painting rooms. Instead, I’ve limited myself to unpacking a box or two or three a day in addition to regular chores like… Continue Reading “Fireworks”
Funny Miss Twiggley
This morning as I got out of bed, I glanced out the window and saw a deer grazing right outside. I snuck out to the living room and got my camera, and then snuck back into the bedroom and began taking video and pictures.… Continue Reading “Funny Miss Twiggley”
Snow Day!
We’ve had a quite a mild winter. A couple of weeks ago we had a thaw and the little bit of snow we had melted. Then the temperatures dropped and the puddles froze. Since then Danny and I have had adventures slipping and sliding… Continue Reading “Snow Day!”
A Carpet of Birds…and A Cat Scan
Probably good gardeners prepare their yards and gardens for winter, but I am not a good gardener. I don’t do anything to prepare for winter–except, sometimes, raking leaves into the garden as a blanket for the plants. (I didn’t do even that this year.)… Continue Reading “A Carpet of Birds…and A Cat Scan”
Hidden Hawk
EJ had three days off for Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving we went out to eat at Denny’s. The day after Thanksgiving, we cooked a turkey in the roaster so we could have leftovers. I enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers at least as much as I enjoy the… Continue Reading “Hidden Hawk”
Thanksgiving Plans
Well, we survived the rain and the wind without any loss of power. Today the weather was much quieter. And colder. With a few snowflakes. I enjoyed a few hours of quiet this morning while my guys slept. I made a pot of coffee,… Continue Reading “Thanksgiving Plans”
Crazy Rain & Wind
Yesterday EJ finally had a day off…so we went grocery shopping. Since we had a slow-moving morning and didn’t leave the house until noon (without having eaten breakfast), we decided first to go to Denny’s for breakfast/lunch. EJ had a steak breakfast and I had… Continue Reading “Crazy Rain & Wind”
Number 9
We woke up late this morning. Well, it’s not all that late since these days I am often still up at midnight, or 1 a.m., or 2 a.m. I’m actually more of a morning person, but we often can’t sleep. Sometimes I wonder if… Continue Reading “Number 9”
Color Me Autumn
I usually wait up for EJ to get home from work and we talk for a while before I go to bed. Last night he texted me that he had to work late and didn’t know when he would get home so I went… Continue Reading “Color Me Autumn”
Come Little Leaves
The weather this week has been warm and rainy and rather gloomy. I don’t mind, however. I think rainy gloomy days in the autumn are just as beautiful as blue skies. Today it was a bit windy and the wind tore the leaves off… Continue Reading “Come Little Leaves”
Autumn Harvest
This morning I told EJ that I wanted to exercise more so he advised me while I lift 3 and 5 lb weights. Then he, JJ, Danny, and I went for a walk out into the countryside up to the corn field at the… Continue Reading “Autumn Harvest”
