Growing Our Life in Northern Michigan
After a week of daily snow (none of which accumulated on the ground), we are now back to Spring again. This weekend the temperatures will reach into the low 70s! Wow! I’ve been diligently studying my Hebrew every morning. I am studying in a… Continue Reading “ReWord”
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”
