Storm Story
Late Wednesday night it began to snow. It snowed all day Thursday, and it snowed all day Friday, and it is now Friday night and it is still snowing. We are not just talking about snow flurries. Or snow showers. We are talking about… Continue Reading “Storm Story”
New Views
Today the guys came out to install our new windows! Yay! It was supposed to rain today, but instead the sun shone and the temps climbed up to 40 degrees–chilly, but not frigid. The windows were installed just in time because beginning tomorrow the… Continue Reading “New Views”
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”
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”
Yesterday & Today
JJ needed to get his driver’s license renewed. With his busy schedule, it’s difficult to find time to do extra activities but since he didn’t have to work last Monday, I went with him to the Secretary of State’s office. (That sounds very official,… Continue Reading “Yesterday & Today”
The End of February
I’m surprised that I haven’t written since February 17th. Time went fast. The second half of February has gone better than the first half, although I do feel a bit worse for wear. I have mostly been busy crocheting. I have an order for… Continue Reading “The End of February”
Frightful February
February has been such a loooonnnnnggggg, awful month so far. Ugh. I cannot share most of the story of what has made February so awful because it involves others so I only told a few close friends who I knew would pray for us.… Continue Reading “Frightful February”
Winter Work
Yesterday a few women read my last post about the depression and anxiety that I was feeling and they suggested that I start taking Vitamin D3. As soon as they said that I thought, well, duh! Our doctor downstate had once told us that… Continue Reading “Winter Work”
A Day and A Half
As you know, Friday EJ was permanently laid off from the wonderful job that enabled us to move to our beautiful enchanted forest in Northern Michigan. EJ told me that as soon as he got into his suburban, he called the head hunter (a… Continue Reading “A Day and A Half”
Turkey Whisperer
This morning as EJ was driving off to work, he saw a large flock of turkeys, which he guessed might be headed to our place. He was right. Ever since the first turkey found our bird feeders, the turkeys have been appearing every two… Continue Reading “Turkey Whisperer”
Michigan Bucket List
I think I am addicted to sledding. Whenever EJ snowblows the driveway, the sledding gets better because there is no fluffy snow to slow me down. Last weekend the sledding got faster and faster and faster and by Monday it was so fast that… Continue Reading “Michigan Bucket List”
