Wild, Wacky, Weather Award
Wow. Michigan gets some crazy weather at times, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a weekend with such wild, wacky weather like this one! With rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow, I think Michigan is deserving of a major Award. Yesterday morning I… Continue Reading “Wild, Wacky, Weather Award”
In The Midst of the Storm
I slept in late this morning, and while I slept EJ did most of my morning chores for me, which I thought was incredibly kind. I opened my eyes to a beautiful snow-covered world. I also woke up to no Internet. A couple hours… Continue Reading “In The Midst of the Storm”
Mixed-up Storm
Two days after her after her spay/hernia surgery, Hannah Joy was acting like her normal self. The vet said we have to try to keep her from running or jumping for ten days while her incision heals, which isn’t easy because she is exuberant… Continue Reading “Mixed-up Storm”
Oh, Spring, Where Art Thou?
I rode into work with EJ this morning so I could have the suburban to drive myself to physical therapy later in the afternoon. I was a bit stressed because I haven’t yet regained confidence in being able to drive after fracturing my hand.… Continue Reading “Oh, Spring, Where Art Thou?”
I Was There
I like witnessing and being a part of history. I remember my Mom making us kids watch President Nixon’s resignation speech years ago. She made us watch it because “it is history.” I was too young at the time to appreciate it, but now… Continue Reading “I Was There”
Rain, Rain, And Other Things
I started to write this post on Saturday evening, but EJ and I decided to have a campfire out in our yard instead. I’m only now finding the time to continue my interrupted post. In fact, I have repeatedly tried to work on this… Continue Reading “Rain, Rain, And Other Things”
Stormy Anniversary
We usually keep informed about the weather because….well, we really enjoy watching the weather. Knowing the forecasts helps me decide what to wear for the day, or whether or not I should water the garden, or whether to expect severe storms. When I was… Continue Reading “Stormy Anniversary”
Fairy Eggs
Our weather has been rather wacky lately. One day I’m wearing a hoodie and shoes, the next day I’m back to a coat, boots, hat, and mittens. One day we have temperatures up into the 50s and 60s and our snow melts, the next… Continue Reading “Fairy Eggs”
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…”
What We Did During The Holidays
HAPPY 2017!! I’m a bit late in wishing you a Happy New Year, but my wishes are heartfelt. I hope your holidays were awesome and that this year is one of joy and blessing for you. EJ returned to work this Monday after enjoying… Continue Reading “What We Did During The Holidays”
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”
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”
Turkeys and the Straw
Yesterday the power flickered off and on a few times through the day. Fortunately we didn’t lose our power for more than a couple of seconds but EJ was worried we might lose it so he decided to drive home last night instead of… Continue Reading “Turkeys and the Straw”
Snow and Wind
I can’t believe the crazy weather we are getting! Yesterday the temperatures reached 70 degrees and today we have winter. The high winds began to rise yesterday afternoon and this morning it began to snow. Both winds and snow has continued all day. The… Continue Reading “Snow and Wind”
