The Old Hot Tub
I had a list of chores I wanted to get done today. I had laundry to wash today. Since the day was beautifully sunny, I decided to hang them on the clothesline to drive. I got a little chilled hanging up wet clothes. The… Continue Reading “The Old Hot Tub”
Spring Blessings
Yesterday evening after supper I went to the store where JJ works to buy groceries. JJ was working and, as he often does, he noticed that I was in the store so he can up to say “hi!” I noticed that he had a… Continue Reading “Spring Blessings”
Disappearing Duck
As soon as EJ leaves for work every morning, I go open the coop doors to let the ducks and chickens out. The ducks are at the front of the coop so they get let out first, and then I go open the little… Continue Reading “Disappearing Duck”
Cuddles’ Favorite Game
Because my jury duty was canceled (happy dance!) I spent the afternoon digging up more tiger lilies from around the big rocks. They really have spread in that area so although I have dug up about four wheelbarrows full of lilies, there are still… Continue Reading “Cuddles’ Favorite Game”
Whoo Hoo!
We had a really nice weekend. It rained all day Saturday through Sunday morning. I’m not sure exactly how much rain we got, but nearby areas ranged from 1.43 to 2.23 inches. The temperatures were very warm–up in the high 70s!! Sunday morning EJ… Continue Reading “Whoo Hoo!”
Happy Chickens
Most of the time JJ has to be to work at 3 p.m., but today he was scheduled to begin work at noon. After JJ left, I considered working to enlarge the chickens’ outside pen. However, I knew that once I began working on… Continue Reading “Happy Chickens”
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”
