Growing Our Life in Northern Michigan

The Ducks’ New Pen
After a beautiful weekend, the weather turned rainy Sunday night and cooled throughout Monday. On Tuesday we even had periods of snow, but it only lasted a couple of minutes at a time and nothing stayed on the ground–unlike Michigan’s Upper Peninsula which just… Continue Reading “The Ducks’ New Pen”
Duck Delight
The weather was very nice this weekend. On Saturday it was sunny and the temperature was about 60. We put in the screens and opened up all the windows. We also got out our patio chairs (I had the table already set up) and… Continue Reading “Duck Delight”
Spring Things
This last weekend the sun shone and the temperatures were very warm–up into the 60s. I almost put the screens back in and opened the windows, but I didn’t. I was busy with other projects, and I know that we can still get snow.… Continue Reading “Spring Things”
The Hall of Justice
Today JJ and I went to The Hall of Justice. Although we did not see Superman, Wonder Woman, or Batman, we did see plenty of heroes and villains. Seriously. This is completely 100% true. The Hall of Justice is the name of the district… Continue Reading “The Hall of Justice”
Bat-roo
This afternoon JJ walked down to the mailbox with me, but before we walked down to the driveway, we took the chickens and ducks some carrots and cabbage. I videoed JJ giving the birds their treats. JJ noticed that Sassy, our alpha rooster, would… Continue Reading “Bat-roo”
Illogical Inconsistencies
This post is kind of for myself because writing helps me to think through and process stuff that happens to me. But it’s also for those who also struggle with the same sort of things. This post is quite long (sorry). It is about… Continue Reading “Illogical Inconsistencies”
Spring…Sort Of
We are still getting warm and cold and warm and cold temperatures. The temps will rise up into the 50s and then plunge overnight down into the single digits. Most of our snow is gone, but I’ve heard that we could get snow/sleet and… Continue Reading “Spring…Sort Of”
The Mystery of the Magic Box
The other day I cleaned the blood off the container holding the chicken feed. I couldn’t get the blood off the other parts of the coop. Our brother-in-law (EJ’s sister’s husband) has chickens and he said that the blood was probably from a mouse.… Continue Reading “The Mystery of the Magic Box”
Mystery in the Enchanted Forest
Friday afternoon I went out to our coop to give the ducks and chickens fresh water. I noticed Butterfly, our very talkative hen, kind of doing a weird step. I had noticed it that morning as well, but I thought that I had almost… Continue Reading “Mystery in the Enchanted Forest”
Fairy Eggs
Our weather has been rather wacky lately. One day I’m wearing a hoodie and shoes, the next day I’m back to a coat, boots, hat, and mittens. One day we have temperatures up into the 50s and 60s and our snow melts, the next… Continue Reading “Fairy Eggs”
Dishonorable Daughter
So, this has been a difficult week and I struggled with PTSD symptoms. Soldiers, abuse victims, cancer patients and their caretakers, and many other people can suffer from PTSD. Our nephew who was in Iraq and suffers from PTSD says that PTSD is merely… Continue Reading “Dishonorable Daughter”
But I Found None
I’m having a rough week. I’ve been having panic/anxiety attacks. I hate them because they make me feel battered and messy and weak. I used to feel strong and able to handle difficult situations. I don’t feel that way any more. Sometimes I wonder… Continue Reading “But I Found None”
Duck, Duck, Goose…Guinea?
Last week we have very warm weather, with temperatures reaching into the 50s and even low 60s. Almost all of our snow melted. I shed my coat and boots and wore a hoodie and shoes. Since it’s only February, I knew it was completely… Continue Reading “Duck, Duck, Goose…Guinea?”
Transitioning
Yikes! I can’t believe that I haven’t written since January 29th! I have a lot of catching up to do. Mostly I didn’t write because I was very tired. I don’t think that I’ve had a good night’s sleep for more than a year.… Continue Reading “Transitioning”
January Thaw
I haven’t written for…a week or two? Life has been happening. JJ is back in his college classes. He really enjoys his classes. He is taking a law enforcement class, sociology, math and, I think, a psychology class. Almost every year Michigan has what… Continue Reading “January Thaw”
