Earth Month Every April
Earth Month is celebrated in April and since it is the last day of April… Being green at one time was the “in” thing to do. Today, it is just an everyday occurrence for many–their lifestyle. Many think it’s old fashioned and going backwards in time–and want no part of it. A few years agoContinue Reading →
Life As I Knew It Changed
There is a master life plan for everyone. But. We don’t know what it is. We work hard and think we have it. In 1992, I met a man that I quickly fell in love with. He was smart, worked hard, and liked to live life. On October 14, 1995, even with trials and tribulations,Continue Reading →
Shifting Sand
After dinner on Sunday, Sam and I took a ride. The snow fence at Charles Mears State Park in Pentwater isn’t coming down anytime soon! Or not without a lot of sand shoveling!

A Great End to a Bad Beginning
Yesterday morning, I woke to this. Yes, that is a blank and black computer screen. I thought “OK, hibernation is frozen.” I punched the power button, turned it off, then back on. It went through a couple screens, then when Windows XP came across the screen, everything went black…but the lights on the dashboard stayedContinue Reading →
Sunset Over Lake Michigan
Along Sunset Lane near Pentwater, Michigan, I watched the sun make it’s final descent over the horizon last night.
Just Ten Days
Ten days ago, we were experiencing rain, sleet, slush, snow, and wind. There was even a snowman in residence. Today. There is no snow, no ice, no slush. There is only sunshine and birds chirping in the trees. The dogs are laying patiently waiting for me to get my work done so we can goContinue Reading →
A little over three years ago, I stumbled onto Chickens in the Road, written by Suzanne McMinn, former romance writer turned farmer. I was looking for a homemade bread recipe, which I have now perfected into what Mom used to make. In 2010, I made trip to the Party on the Farm 2010 (hosted onContinue Reading →
