Home Again, Home Again
Yesterday was a very beautiful day. When I wasn’t doing other tasks, I sat in my chair by the window and crocheted as I watched the leaves flying off the trees. Watching falling leaves fills me with joy. I just figured out how to… Continue Reading “Home Again, Home Again”
Cats, Poultry, and the Snow Fence
After our busy day on Saturday, EJ and I took it easier on Sunday. I did small tasks such as cleaning the house and doing laundry. I spread one straw bale among the raised garden beds to (hopefully) help the plants survive the winter.… Continue Reading “Cats, Poultry, and the Snow Fence”
When Autumn Meets Winter
This morning, not long after I got out of bed, EJ asked, “Have you looked outside yet?” I know that that always means that we’ve gotten snow. After EJ left for work, I fed all the cats–both inside and outside ones–and then I put… Continue Reading “When Autumn Meets Winter”
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”
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”
Duck, Duck, Goose…Guinea?
Last week we have very warm weather, with temperatures reaching into the 50s and even low 60s. Almost all of our snow melted. I shed my coat and boots and wore a hoodie and shoes. Since it’s only February, I knew it was completely… Continue Reading “Duck, Duck, Goose…Guinea?”
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”
January Thaw
I haven’t written for…a week or two? Life has been happening. JJ is back in his college classes. He really enjoys his classes. He is taking a law enforcement class, sociology, math and, I think, a psychology class. Almost every year Michigan has what… Continue Reading “January Thaw”
The Mattress
So today was the BIG day that our new mattress was scheduled to arrive!!! Yay! EJ has been sleeping on JJ’s old twin mattress while I slept on the couch. The couch is very comfy for sitting on, but not as comfortable as the… Continue Reading “The Mattress”
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…”
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”
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….”
