Growing Our Life in Northern Michigan
Tag: Dogs
Curiosity
Yesterday the temperatures warmed up again–into the 60s–so I was able to open the windows. Yay! We are supposed to have sunshine and nice temperatures for the next several days. I like these temps because it’s warm enough to not have to wear coats,… Continue Reading “Curiosity”
Piper and the Blue Angels
This weekend, besides being the USA’s Independence Day (on July 4th) was also the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City. There are a lot of activities going on, but the one that interested us the most was the air show. EJ works right next… Continue Reading “Piper and the Blue Angels”
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 Dog, Two Cats, and A Flock of Turkeys
Today EJ called the new insurance agency to see if all our policies had been transferred, and to also find out how we were going to manage this first month of payment. I had talked to the agent at the downstate agency on Monday… Continue Reading “A Dog, Two Cats, and A Flock of Turkeys”
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”
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”
The Best Laid Plans….
Ok, the Plan is that EJ goes to the closing on Friday after work, then he and JJ go to the new house afterwards to drop off the boxes of painting and cleaning supplies, sleeping bags, pots, clothes, and other items that we packed… Continue Reading “The Best Laid Plans….”
Paint Memories
This morning I paid bills while I drank coffee and ate breakfast. Then I went outside to paint the garage. Well, first I had to scrape off the old paint. The garage is actually quite weatherbeaten so most of the old paint was already… Continue Reading “Paint Memories”
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!”
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”
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”
