Growing Our Life in Northern Michigan

Stones, Clouds, and Turkeys
Our cat Timmy sometimes likes to sit on our headboard, mostly at night when we are sleeping. The problem is that he starts to gnaw on it, which wakes us and isn’t good for the headboard. In fact, I now wake when he first… Continue Reading “Stones, Clouds, and Turkeys”
PTSD
Tuesday morning Danny asked to be let out, so I let him out and then went to get my shoes on. I don’t like to just leave him out by himself too long because I don’t want him wandering off and getting lost in… Continue Reading “PTSD”
Storybrooke
Shortly after I finished writing my previous post, EJ and I decided that the day was so lovely that we would go for a drive. JJ was working, but we took Danny with us. We went for a long drive, enjoying winding our way… Continue Reading “Storybrooke”
Saruman’s Spies
EJ had some physically difficult days at work this last week, and he was utterly exhausted, so I have encouraged him to rest this weekend. Yesterday I made challah bread for the first time in a long time, and I fixed a beautiful Shabbat… Continue Reading “Saruman’s Spies”
Turkeys and Other Stuff
We have decided to stay north again this weekend. The weekend before last–when we drove south in the middle of the night, right after EJ got out of work, so we could be at the old house to let in the guys installing the… Continue Reading “Turkeys and Other Stuff”
Enchanted 4th
We did not drive the long journey south to the old house this weekend. Not only did we not want to travel on a busy holiday weekend–it’s the USA’s Independence Day–but after all the weekends at the old house, we wanted to experience a… Continue Reading “Enchanted 4th”
Projects
The temperature dropped down into the 40’s last night…even though it’s mid-June! I think that is cool (pun intended). The high today was 71. I like the cooler temps. JJ had to be at work at noon today. After he left, the guy EJ… Continue Reading “Projects”
Boundary Markers
Yesterday, a couple of hours after I saw the doe and her two fawns, Danny asked to go out. It was about twilight. During the day I let Danny go outside with us without a leash–unless we are near the road. However, toward evening… Continue Reading “Boundary Markers”
Running
This morning I started to get out of bed but quickly lay back down–because a doe was grazing right outside our window. I watched her for several minutes as she slowly grazed and then walked into the forest. I wished I had my camera,… Continue Reading “Running”
First Days in the Enchanted Forest
We just got Internet installed today! Yay! I’ve been writing each day about our first week in the Enchanted Forest and I can finally post it. Weekend, May 30-31 A week or so before we moved, I worked at hauling junk from the basement.… Continue Reading “First Days in the Enchanted Forest”
Weekend Stuff
The last few days have been quite productive. Friday I went outside at 9 a.m. and painted the garage until 5 p.m. I completed two additional sides of the garage. When I was on the ladder painting the side nearest the house, I heard… Continue Reading “Weekend Stuff”
Weekend Work
Friday morning I woke up early–groaning because I didn’t sleep well the night before–to take Danny to the veterinary for his surgery. It took a few tries to get him in the cage at the vet’s. I stooped down, gave him lovings, told him… Continue Reading “Weekend Work”
Little Bear & Danny
Yesterday it snowed off and on through the day. The falling snow looked like a snow globe. The snow did not stick on the ground. Today I didn’t see any snow, but it’s been a bit cold. I wore my winter coat, hat, and… Continue Reading “Little Bear & Danny”
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!”
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”
