What We Did During The Holidays
HAPPY 2017!! I’m a bit late in wishing you a Happy New Year, but my wishes are heartfelt. I hope your holidays were awesome and that this year is one of joy and blessing for you. EJ returned to work this Monday after enjoying… Continue Reading “What We Did During The Holidays”
When the Trees Get Angry
I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and Hanukkah! Because of the ice storm that was forecasted to hit yesterday, we decided to stay home on Christmas/Hanukkah. We probably could have gone to the matinée showing of the newest Star Wars movie… Continue Reading “When the Trees Get Angry”
Home Sweet Coop
Sunday EJ and I worked all day to turn the shed into a nice home for the chickens and the ducks. We began to work as soon as we had eaten breakfast, and we continued working until dusk. Ever since we ordered the shed,… Continue Reading “Home Sweet Coop”
Floor & Fence
My body was so tired from all the work I did yesterday that I had trouble getting myself going this morning. After I drank the last cup of coffee and said goodbye to JJ, who went off to school, I managed to get myself… Continue Reading “Floor & Fence”
Shed & Windows
Yesterday the guy from Lowes came to build our new shed. I had never had a shed built before so I was kind of surprised that just one man came instead of a crew. He arrived a little after noon and worked on the… Continue Reading “Shed & Windows”
Thanksgiving
I meant to get on my computer and wish all my USA friends a Happy Thanksgiving! However, I was very busy preparing for our own Thanksgiving and I didn’t have time. So here’s a belated… Wednesday I spent the day making pies. I… Continue Reading “Thanksgiving”
My Chore Boots
I have a chore coat. It is the old coat I wear when I work outside. It is an old green coat with a brown collar and cuffs lined with green and brown plaid. I’ve told EJ several times that I love my old… Continue Reading “My Chore Boots”
Turkeys and the Straw
Yesterday the power flickered off and on a few times through the day. Fortunately we didn’t lose our power for more than a couple of seconds but EJ was worried we might lose it so he decided to drive home last night instead of… Continue Reading “Turkeys and the Straw”
Snow and Wind
I can’t believe the crazy weather we are getting! Yesterday the temperatures reached 70 degrees and today we have winter. The high winds began to rise yesterday afternoon and this morning it began to snow. Both winds and snow has continued all day. The… Continue Reading “Snow and Wind”
Warm & Cold
EJ was able to get today off from work so he left this morning to go hunting at his friend’s parents 100-acre woods on the other side of the state. He expects to be gone until Sunday. Early this afternoon, I heard the chickens… Continue Reading “Warm & Cold”
Winter Race
I woke up very early on Tuesday morning–about 3-ish–and couldn’t go back to sleep. I wasn’t able to get a nap because it was an extremely busy day with many errands to run. I fed, watered, and let the chickens and ducks out, went… Continue Reading “Winter Race”
Timey Wimey, Wibbly Wobbly
This morning I woke up and looked at the digital alarm clock to check the time. It said that it was 5:99 a.m. And then as I watched, it turned to 5:98…5:80… 5:40…5:99…I rubbed my eyes and looked again, and the clock was still… Continue Reading “Timey Wimey, Wibbly Wobbly”
Chicken Bling
Usually October is my most favorite month, but this October was difficult at the beginning and has continued to be difficult though the middle. Ugh. On November 1st I might throw a “I Survived October” party…assuming that I actually do survive it. We usually… Continue Reading “Chicken Bling”
Duck Rescue
Some of our windows need replacing because the seal on them are broken and condensation has gotten between the panes. We decided that we’d rather pay for new windows than have high heating bills because of the bad windows. We also decided that it… Continue Reading “Duck Rescue”
Surviving October
October is usually my most favorite month. I love the vibrant colors of the trees and the pumpkins and other squashes. I love the wind making the leaves twirl and dance. I love the look of harvested fields. I love the sunshine highlighting the… Continue Reading “Surviving October”
