A Fowl Week
My Birthday month has been splendiferous. We’ve made homemade cider for the first time, I’ve set up more bird feeder stations, and we found a “new” couch and ended up enjoying a private garage sale. This has been another awesome week. This week was… Continue Reading “A Fowl Week”
October Thus Far
We are well into October now and thus far I’ve received a lot of gifts for my birthday month and had a lot of fun. I’m thankful to God for gifts throughout the year, of course, but in October I see everything as a… Continue Reading “October Thus Far”
October Gifts
October is here! I love every season, but I think October is my favorite month–for a variety of reasons. I love the ambiance of October’s autumn. I love the cooler temperatures. Even when the temperature reaches into the 70s or 80s, it still feels… Continue Reading “October Gifts”
Early Adjustments
March’s weather has been bi-polar with huge differences in temperatures. Last week the temperatures reached up to 70 and all our snow melted. The next day we had several inches of new snow. Up and down. Up and down. Yesterday we woke up to… Continue Reading “Early Adjustments”
Hannah Joy’s Birthday
Today is Hannah Joy’s birthday. Well, we don’t know the day she was actually born, but four years ago today we adopted her from the animal shelter. I’m calling this her birthday because she began her new life with us. She was the best… Continue Reading “Hannah Joy’s Birthday”
(Dis)Connected
This morning arrived with heavy fog, making everything look beautifully mysterious. Once the fog burned off, the day was mostly sunny with the temperature forecast to reach around 50 degrees (F). It looks as if we are getting an early Spring. I sure hope… Continue Reading “(Dis)Connected”
Celebrations
Friday, as usual, was our errand day. We were planning to buy some straw bales for the chicken coop. I called a farm store and a hardware store where we have bought bales in previous years, but EJ said they were much too expensive.… Continue Reading “Celebrations”
Elk-ish Plans
Years ago, I bought a couple little cacti at a store–probably Walmart. They were just tiny little plants in tiny little pots when I bought them, but over the years they have grown taller and taller, and I’ve had to transplant them into bigger… Continue Reading “Elk-ish Plans”
Survival Mode
There are times that the days fly by very quickly and then I have to catch up, trying to remember what I did over the last few days so I can write about them. This is one of those times. EJ used to work… Continue Reading “Survival Mode”
EJ’s Autumn Birthday
Yesterday was EJ’s birthday. Well, not exactly. His birthday is actually in early Spring when the trees are still bare and there is often snow on the ground, but he declared that yesterday was his birthday because autumn is such a beautiful season with… Continue Reading “EJ’s Autumn Birthday”
Ambush at Barker Creek
Today we needed to get fencing so we can protect our apple trees from hungry deer this winter. We decided to go to a different TSC in a different town than we usually go to so we could stop at the Cops & Donuts… Continue Reading “Ambush at Barker Creek”
Birthday Adventure
Today is my birthday. I think that my birthday occurs in the most beautiful month of the year, and my annual gift of taking a long drive to enjoy the autumn color is the most awesome gift imaginable. We left home at 9 a.m.… Continue Reading “Birthday Adventure”
The Gift
Today is a rainy day, and once again I’m not sure what tasks to work on. Most of my tasks are outdoor ones that require a sunny day–or, at least, a rainless one. I probably could find something to do inside the house, but… Continue Reading “The Gift”
Therapy Musings
Yesterday I had physical therapy again. I really love the journey there, which follows the Bay for a while. I know, I know, I’ve written frequently that the color of the water changes often, defending on the season, weather, time of day, etc., but… Continue Reading “Therapy Musings”
5 Stickers On My Shirt
EJ and I enjoyed a quiet weekend. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we watched Darby O’Gill and the Little People at Amazon video. When I was a child, it was our tradition to watch it when it aired on TV every March 17, and when… Continue Reading “5 Stickers On My Shirt”
