Growing Our Life in Northern Michigan

Poultry in Motion
You know, in many ways my life is very unexciting. I mean, I’m not off traveling the world or climbing mountains or parachuting out of planes. But in other ways, there’s never a dull moment! I declared to myself that except for getting two… Continue Reading “Poultry in Motion”
Our Life So Far
We have done a lot of thinking and discussing and planning and doing since last week when we realized that with the extra expenses, we are going to run out of money sooner than later and we will need a bit more income. We… Continue Reading “Our Life So Far”
November
Last week we had a lot of blustery rainy days which blew most of the leaves off the trees. There are just a few determined leaves hanging on. It is looking very November-ish now with bare trees and gray skies. Even though it’s not… Continue Reading “November”
Bare Trees
I woke up this morning with a lot of congestion and a deep cough. My neck also felt itchy–and I realized that I had been scratching it in my sleep. I looked in the mirror and saw that I have a rash that looks… Continue Reading “Bare Trees”
Lothlorien
I had wondered what colors our forest would wear in the autumn. Most of the trees turned golden with just a little splash of red here and there. Our forest turned so golden that it reminded me of Lothlorien in The Lord of… Continue Reading “Lothlorien”
Spiders and Trees
Yesterday I bought some spider spray so I’d be armed if I encountered anymore giant spiders. They really do scare me, and I found my “spider senses” are tingling with alertness. I especially scan the front porch when Danny wants out at night because… Continue Reading “Spiders and Trees”
A Crazy Day in Michigan
When I wrote the other day about soon needing to exchange jackets for winter coats, I didn’t expect it to occur so quickly. Meteorologists are forecasting snow for our area this weekend, although I don’t think it’s going to be measurable. Meanwhile, today’s weather… Continue Reading “A Crazy Day in Michigan”
We’re Living, Living, Living in Northern Michigan
It began to rain last night and it has been raining off and on all day. I love how rain makes our forest appear wrapped in mist. The various weather changes the appearance of our forest from day to day–and even hour by hour.… Continue Reading “We’re Living, Living, Living in Northern Michigan”
A Colorful Day
As soon as I got out of bed this morning, I peeked out our bedroom curtain and saw the forest glowing with a golden light. It was beautiful. Overnight the trees of our Enchanted Forest have bloomed with color. The beauty is breathtaking and… Continue Reading “A Colorful Day”
America’s Best Scenic Autumn Drive
EJ has been told by his company that he can expect to work a lot overtime in the next few weeks, so we decided to get out and enjoy the fall colors while we still can. We invited JJ to go along with us… Continue Reading “America’s Best Scenic Autumn Drive”
Van Gogh in the Elevator
I had an eye exam on Monday. I was excited because it’s been a few years since my last eye exam, and a year or two ago my glasses got a small scratch on them which makes them hard to clean. No matter how… Continue Reading “Van Gogh in the Elevator”
The Gift of Autumn
Because my husband and son have different days off from work, I couldn’t celebrate my birthday (which is next week) with both of them at the same time. So I had a wonderful day celebrating my birthday with JJ on Friday and a wonderful… Continue Reading “The Gift of Autumn”
A Magical Day
My birthday is next week. The gift I usually ask for is a memory-making experience. We usually celebrate the weekend preceding my birthday and in the past we have gone to wild bird sanctuaries or cider mills or simply on drives through the beautiful… Continue Reading “A Magical Day”
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”
Autumn Prank
After EJ left for work today, I took Danny for his walk. The sky was mostly cloudy, but the weather was warm–almost 60 degrees! When I turned onto our street, I saw a large dog loose about halfway down the block so I turned… Continue Reading “Autumn Prank”
