Spring Blessings
Yesterday evening after supper I went to the store where JJ works to buy groceries. JJ was working and, as he often does, he noticed that I was in the store so he can up to say “hi!” I noticed that he had a… Continue Reading “Spring Blessings”
Disappearing Duck
As soon as EJ leaves for work every morning, I go open the coop doors to let the ducks and chickens out. The ducks are at the front of the coop so they get let out first, and then I go open the little… Continue Reading “Disappearing Duck”
Cuddles’ Favorite Game
Because my jury duty was canceled (happy dance!) I spent the afternoon digging up more tiger lilies from around the big rocks. They really have spread in that area so although I have dug up about four wheelbarrows full of lilies, there are still… Continue Reading “Cuddles’ Favorite Game”
The Ducks’ New Pen
After a beautiful weekend, the weather turned rainy Sunday night and cooled throughout Monday. On Tuesday we even had periods of snow, but it only lasted a couple of minutes at a time and nothing stayed on the ground–unlike Michigan’s Upper Peninsula which just… Continue Reading “The Ducks’ New Pen”
Duck Delight
The weather was very nice this weekend. On Saturday it was sunny and the temperature was about 60. We put in the screens and opened up all the windows. We also got out our patio chairs (I had the table already set up) and… Continue Reading “Duck Delight”
The Hall of Justice
Today JJ and I went to The Hall of Justice. Although we did not see Superman, Wonder Woman, or Batman, we did see plenty of heroes and villains. Seriously. This is completely 100% true. The Hall of Justice is the name of the district… Continue Reading “The Hall of Justice”
Spring…Sort Of
We are still getting warm and cold and warm and cold temperatures. The temps will rise up into the 50s and then plunge overnight down into the single digits. Most of our snow is gone, but I’ve heard that we could get snow/sleet and… Continue Reading “Spring…Sort Of”
Mystery in the Enchanted Forest
Friday afternoon I went out to our coop to give the ducks and chickens fresh water. I noticed Butterfly, our very talkative hen, kind of doing a weird step. I had noticed it that morning as well, but I thought that I had almost… Continue Reading “Mystery in the Enchanted Forest”
Transitioning
Yikes! I can’t believe that I haven’t written since January 29th! I have a lot of catching up to do. Mostly I didn’t write because I was very tired. I don’t think that I’ve had a good night’s sleep for more than a year.… Continue Reading “Transitioning”
Enchanting Forest Critters
JJ has made several unsuccessful attempts to drive in to the college to buy his books (the bookstore was closed for the holidays), but yesterday he tried again and was finally able to get his books before his new classes start. He wanted company… Continue Reading “Enchanting Forest Critters”
The Worst Is Yet To Come…
Early this morning it began to snow, and snow, and snow. And the wind began to blow, blow, blow. The wind swirled the snow around like snow-nadoes. We are under a Winter Storm Warning through Thursday…with more snow on the way for the weekend. Danny and… Continue Reading “The Worst Is Yet To Come…”
When the Trees Get Angry
I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and Hanukkah! Because of the ice storm that was forecasted to hit yesterday, we decided to stay home on Christmas/Hanukkah. We probably could have gone to the matinée showing of the newest Star Wars movie… Continue Reading “When the Trees Get Angry”
Eleven Days
We have had eleven days of snow. Most days we got a few inches of snow. Some days we got more. Yesterday afternoon the weather cleared and we actually had a bit of blue skies and sunshine. It’s been so long since we’ve seen… Continue Reading “Eleven Days”
Let It Snow….
I sort of woke at 5 a.m. this morning and then Danny wanted me to take him outside. He is the most considerate dog I’ve ever encountered. He waits until he knows I’m awake before he asks to go out. He also waits until… Continue Reading “Let It Snow….”
Life on the Planet Hoth
We survived last weekend with its heavy Lake Effect snow. I think the snowy north is awesome. I only have two–well, maybe three–concerns about the wintry weather. First I am concerned when my guys have to drive to work or school. I always feel… Continue Reading “Life on the Planet Hoth”
