Fowl Weather
We had a winter storm with high winds and heavy snow a couple weeks ago. Then the weather turned quite cold with temperatures in the single digits. My hands ached with the cold whenever I went outside. The weather is beginning to warm up… Continue Reading “Fowl Weather”
Snow Cam
I tracked JJ’s ship on January 12th as it moved up the river to Lake Huron, concerned that they were going to travel tthrough the storm’s strong winds and high waves. However, they anchored soon after they reached Lake Huron. Whew. They continued on… Continue Reading “Snow Cam”
Rant Time
The clocks were all set back an hour last night, which has put me in a cranky mood. I loathe the biannual clock resetting farce, which I think is totally nonsensical and was designed by sadistic, psychopathic politicians to disrupt life. I’ve often heard… Continue Reading “Rant Time”
Factory Reset
I’ve written a few times before that in the autumn, the trees in our Enchanted Forest surround us with various shades of gold to such an extent that it feels as if the air itself is golden. I’ve tried to take photos but I’ve… Continue Reading “Factory Reset”
Autumn Gold
We’ve had days of rain. Weeks of rain. Perhaps as much as a month of rain. Once in a while, we get a break from the rain. Like today. But then it’s back to rain, rain, and more rain. The chickens scratch up the… Continue Reading “Autumn Gold”
Some Good In This World
As I wrote in my last post, Millie went missing and Theo seems lonely so we posted at the Michigan Barn/Working Cat Program that we are looking for two barn cats to adopt. Multiple people responded and for a short time, we thought we… Continue Reading “Some Good In This World”
Only Us
Ej had 5 days off last week. Three were his normal days off, one was for the July 4th holiday, and one he took off as a vacation day. We spent the five days working around our place, getting several tasks and projects done.… Continue Reading “Only Us”
Chicken Run
It’s been very dry here this summer. Except for areas where the sprinkler hit when I watered the gardens, the grass was turning yellow like straw. When I mowed the lawn last Friday, the mower blew up clouds of sand. I made my own… Continue Reading “Chicken Run”
Cough, Wheeze, and Sneeze
EJ has finished his first week of working first shift and is now beginning his second week. He is enjoying this shift because he is naturally a morning person and feels less tired and more productive. He enjoys the beautiful early morning drive to… Continue Reading “Cough, Wheeze, and Sneeze”
Eight Years Ago Today
Last week we had three nights of frost/freeze warnings with temperatures that dipped into the low 30s. Each evening we had to cover up our tender garden plants. We do this every year. The temperatures have risen into the 80s, even touching 90 degrees… Continue Reading “Eight Years Ago Today”
Happy Spr-inter
Today is May 1st. Today it is Spring. Today it is Winter I guess you could say that it’s Spr-inter. A few years ago, I was amazed to learn that people in southern states are planting their gardens in February. February is winter here… Continue Reading “Happy Spr-inter”
Nesting
We’ve had alternating warm/cold weather. Saturday morning it snowed quite hard but by the afternoon it warmed up enough that it melted all the snow and I didn’t button my coat when I went outside. This week the temperatures are in the 70s. It… Continue Reading “Nesting”
Qapla’!
We have spent the last week trying to set up EJ’s new phone. He really hates to be bothered with it. He’d prefer to just turn on his phone and start to use it. So I try to help him as much as I… Continue Reading “Qapla’!”
Lost and Found
Last week was a bit tough. Well, perhaps not really as tough as much as inconvenient and annoying. EJ got up early on Thursday morning after only a few hours of sleep to run an important errand. While he was out, he dropped his… Continue Reading “Lost and Found”
Homestead Magic
Yesterday morning I woke up to heavy fog. As the sun rose, it tinted the fog with a sort of pastel pinkish-orange color. I went out to take a few photos and saw that raindrops had frozen on the bare branches of trees. It… Continue Reading “Homestead Magic”
