Holes
Sunday evening we had a bit of a storm. It wasn’t that severe, but we did get a little bit of rain. It quickly moved on and left a beautiful double rainbow behind. Monday was cooler than the previous two days had been. It… Continue Reading “Holes”
Hannah’s Ice Bone
We didn’t want to go outside in the brutal afternoon heat so EJ and I waited until about 7 p.m. yesterday evening before we walked Hannah–with Josette following–down the driveway to get the mail. On the way back to the house, I noticed a… Continue Reading “Hannah’s Ice Bone”
Excessive Heat
Beginning on Friday and continuing at least through the weekend–although all this coming week the temps will be in the high 80s (F)–there are Excessive Heat Warnings issued for our area. In fact, I read in the news that this is the first time our… Continue Reading “Excessive Heat”
The Delivery
It obviously rained overnight although there was only a light rain falling when I woke up this morning. That soon ended as well, although the day continued to have dark gray clouds and a feeling of dampness in the air. As usual, I stumbled… Continue Reading “The Delivery”
Chocolate Mint Tea
During the week, I always get up at 6 a.m. when EJ needs to get up to get ready for work. Often he wakes up before his alarm goes off so he gets up, drinks coffee, and opens all the windows so the morning… Continue Reading “Chocolate Mint Tea”
The Secret World of Crows
When we talked to the Flooring Department salesman at Lowes on Sunday, he told us to expect a call in the next day or two to set up an appointment to get our living room floor measured. We specifically asked him to give the… Continue Reading “The Secret World of Crows”
“Hidden Pictures”
Every time I go outside, I look around to see what I can see–I enjoy looking at the wildflowers along the driveway, and try to see if I can spot any new ones in bloom. I also look and listen for birds, insects, or… Continue Reading ““Hidden Pictures””
Our Father’s Day
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Our weekend was quite quiet, mostly because it was so hot and humid that the energy melted out of us. Sunday was especially hot, with temperatures in the 90s. There were heat warnings out. Seriously, I… Continue Reading “Our Father’s Day”
I Spy
Wednesday was a slow, unmotivated day. Thursday was just the opposite–I was busy all day long from morning till evening. As usually, I got out of bed and took care of all the pets, then watered the gardens and trees we planted. Yesterday was… Continue Reading “I Spy”
Showers of Blessing
Yesterday was another very beautiful day with sunshine and blue skies…and no rain. Once again, I had to turn on the sprinklers in the morning after taking caring of the various animals. My backyard method is the same every day: I fill up the… Continue Reading “Showers of Blessing”
This and That and Thingmajigs
EJ and I had a quiet weekend together. We got a few tasks done, but we didn’t overwork. Saturday morning after I took care of all the animals, I turned on the sprinklers to water the garden and the evergreens and fruit trees we… Continue Reading “This and That and Thingmajigs”
The Orcs Next Door
Oh, my goodness, I just realized that I haven’t written in more than a week. In fact, this is my first post in June! I swear that I just blinked and the dates jumped from May 30th to June 8th! I’ve been busy, sort… Continue Reading “The Orcs Next Door”
Hannah’s Favorite Uncle
EJ and I had an enjoyable weekend. I hope you all did too! EJ’s friend arrived late Friday afternoon for an overnight visit. EJ had to work late so TH arrived before EJ got home from work. This is the first time TH has… Continue Reading “Hannah’s Favorite Uncle”
Michi-Centric
Yesterday I went grocery shopping at our local store. I always feel such a delighted sense of freedom that I have the Xterra to use whenever I want. JJ had driven it to work, school, and his girlfriend’s for the last couple years so… Continue Reading “Michi-Centric”
Open Windows
Weather in Michigan is a big thing. Maybe because it changes so much. I heard that the week of the last snowstorm we got, we had every possible type of weather except hurricanes–sun/warmth, cold, snow, sleet, rain, wind….This last weekend, the overnight lows dipped… Continue Reading “Open Windows”
