Growing Our Life in Northern Michigan
Category: Pets
Snow Day!
We’ve had a quite a mild winter. A couple of weeks ago we had a thaw and the little bit of snow we had melted. Then the temperatures dropped and the puddles froze. Since then Danny and I have had adventures slipping and sliding… Continue Reading “Snow Day!”
Accidental Fireworks
It’s looking more and more like winter here in Michigan. We now have several inches of snow–maybe five inches where we live. As usual, areas closer to Lake Michigan have more snow because of “lake-effect snow.” Lake effect snow is “snow falling on the… Continue Reading “Accidental Fireworks”
Clever Cats
After an unseasonable warm November and December, we finally are getting wintry weather. Last weekend we had a little freezing rain. It was just enough to make the roads a bit slick but not enough to cause major problems. Since then we have gotten… Continue Reading “Clever Cats”
Number 9
We woke up late this morning. Well, it’s not all that late since these days I am often still up at midnight, or 1 a.m., or 2 a.m. I’m actually more of a morning person, but we often can’t sleep. Sometimes I wonder if… Continue Reading “Number 9”
Haircuts!
JJ had been urging me to make him an appointment to get his hair cut, so I finally did. As usual, I made an appointment for me as well. It saves time and trips that way. I haven’t had my hair cut since May… Continue Reading “Haircuts!”
The Reese’s Cup Wrapper
It did not rain today, but dark, dramatic clouds filled the sky. It was beautiful. I love the different moods of the days and seasons. On Halloween night, kids often drop candy and wrappers as they go from house to house gathering sweet loot.… Continue Reading “The Reese’s Cup Wrapper”
Misty November
Yesterday as Danny and I were nearing the end of our walk, about a block away from home, I saw our cat Rikki-Tikki-Tabby walking down the sidewalk toward us. When he reached us, I picked him up and gave him lovings as we continued… Continue Reading “Misty November”
Mouse-capades
Last weekend–from Friday to Sunday–we have had FIVE mice in the house. That is the most mice we have ever had in our house in such a short time. Usually there are weeks or months between mouse sightings and killings. I already wrote about… Continue Reading “Mouse-capades”
Really, Most Sincerely Dead
This morning, after I had drank (drunk?) one cup of coffee (or maybe two), I got dressed and then went to the grocery store in the next town over. On the way home, I stopped at the grain elevator at the end of our… Continue Reading “Really, Most Sincerely Dead”
The Musical Annie
This post is about the musical Annie. It’s not about Annie, the delightful Broadway musical, but about our cat named Annie who has the most musical meow that I have ever heard. We adopted Annie from a yard sale years ago. A cat had had kittens… Continue Reading “The Musical Annie”
Cloudy, Windy Days
When Danny sees EJ preparing to leave for work, he perks up and starts watching me intently. If I put on my shoes then he gets excited because he knows it’s time for his walk. Usually I don’t start preparing for our walk until… Continue Reading “Cloudy, Windy Days”
Color Me Autumn
I usually wait up for EJ to get home from work and we talk for a while before I go to bed. Last night he texted me that he had to work late and didn’t know when he would get home so I went… Continue Reading “Color Me Autumn”
Confessions of an Ewok Killer
EJ and I had a quiet morning browsing Facebook. (JJ was up all night so he slept until afternoon). Often we share with each other interesting or cute things we find while surfing the Internet. EJ shared a picture of a cute little dog… Continue Reading “Confessions of an Ewok Killer”
Danny, the Introverted Dog
Sunday we were hoping to visit EJ’s family, but EJ has had some challenging days at work and he was so depleted that we stayed home instead so he could rest. We find that we are all very easily depleted these days. We have… Continue Reading “Danny, the Introverted Dog”
Timmy and Gourds
I am having trouble writing this post today–not because I am at a loss for words, but because for the last couple days our cat Timmy has been very cuddly and has been insisting on sleeping on my lap. He’s also giving me lots… Continue Reading “Timmy and Gourds”
