In The Midst of the Storm
I slept in late this morning, and while I slept EJ did most of my morning chores for me, which I thought was incredibly kind. I opened my eyes to a beautiful snow-covered world. I also woke up to no Internet. A couple hours… Continue Reading “In The Midst of the Storm”
Lovely Winter This Spring
“What a lovely Winter we are having this Spring!” (Facebook) After two days of heavy snow, yesterday was clear. However, today it’s back to snow again. EJ says it’s supposed to snow all weekend. Although this year I’m ready for Winter to leave and… Continue Reading “Lovely Winter This Spring”
The Day of the Squirrels
Our weather has turned cold again. I was worried about the roads and our driveway becoming super slippery when all the slush froze, but it hasn’t been that bad. Whew. We adopted Hannah Joy from the county animal control shelter two days before Christmas.… Continue Reading “The Day of the Squirrels”
Life at the Post
I took a beautiful photo of Josette sitting on the gate post in the blue-ish early morning light. I am totally in love with sweet, beautiful Josette. I am delighted at how she joins me each time I go out to care for the… Continue Reading “Life at the Post”
A Sweet December Weekend
Friday morning I snowblowed the driveway in hopes that the mail lady would deliver packages that were scheduled to arrive. I worked hard and did a good job. As soon as I finished, I walked down to the mailbox. The mail was already there,… Continue Reading “A Sweet December Weekend”
Winter Magic
Yesterday JJ chauffeured me around to complete various errands. It was snowing quite hard and the roads were snow-covered and slippery at times. Our first stop was to the hospital in a nearby town to pick up my new eye glasses. I think it’s… Continue Reading “Winter Magic”
Winter Has Arrived!
I think winter has finally come to stay. We had 4-6 inches of snow over night. It snowed all day today and I think more snow is on the way. With all the snow, I decided I ought to snowblow the driveway this morning.… Continue Reading “Winter Has Arrived!”
The Post
Yesterday–or maybe Saturday–I was sitting in my chair by the window when I saw Miss Madeline Meadows trotting along the edge of the forest, heading downhill. Suddenly, some birds flew up to the birdfeeders. Their movement caught Madeline’s attention. She turned around and headed… Continue Reading “The Post”
Enchanting Critters
I had to laugh yesterday when several hours after EJ had left to go hunting on the other side of the state, I looked out of the window and saw four deer standing on the hill on our own five acres. I sent him… Continue Reading “Enchanting Critters”
Shrewed Discovery
I named yesterday’s post, “The Killing of the Shrew” because “shrew” made think of Shakespeare’s play, “The Taming of the Shrew.” Last night I asked EJ if he knew why a “shrew” is a description of “a bad-tempered or aggressively assertive woman.” Are the… Continue Reading “Shrewed Discovery”
Plum Crazy
I’ve gone kind of “sign crazy.” I’ve been having a lot of fun making cute little signs. I’m getting low on wooden letters so I’ve been constructing new letters out of old letters–like making an “R” into a “P” or a “Y” out of… Continue Reading “Plum Crazy”
Chasing After Butterflies…
Today I chased after butterflies….both figuratively and literally and maybe even metaphorically. I had trouble getting motivated this morning. I’d start a task, and then get distracted and side-tracked. I usually make the bed while the cats are eating their canned food, which I… Continue Reading “Chasing After Butterflies…”
Life in Hidden Places
Somehow, the week has zoomed by and it’s already over. Tuesday was JJ’s day off from work and we were busy. We both had errands to do so we combined our tasks and went together. Our first stop was at the grocery store. JJ’s… Continue Reading “Life in Hidden Places”
Numbers Six and Seven
We still didn’t have the Suburban back from the repair shop so I had to take him to work again this morning. Well, actually he drives to work and I drive back home. I get home just in time to hand JJ the keys… Continue Reading “Numbers Six and Seven”
Birdwatching at the Park
The suburban is still in the repair shop. We took JJ to work this morning so that if the repair shop told us that the suburban was done, we could go pick it up. They didn’t call, which means that Monday I will have… Continue Reading “Birdwatching at the Park”
