An Easter Adventure


I know, I know, you thought I was lost. But I haven't been really lost; just preoccupied. My sister is opening a petting farm, and I am helping with the web stuff and taking photos. (AFTER you read this, you can go see what we are up to there.  🙂 ) We spent this Easter... Continue Reading →

I Have Worms! Again!!


...and I'm happy about it.  A little over a year ago, I shared my passion for composting worms in a post called, I Have Worms. I took last winter and summer off, not wanting to bring the bins inside after spending the summer outside. I had hoped the worms would survive winter in compost bins... Continue Reading →

We’re Baaaaaaack!


Losing Cook Dollar Barn was one of the worst experiences we have lived through. It wasn't just a store; it was an important social hub for the Pajari Girls, and our little town, too. Every day, the list of people and things we miss gets longer. And when people told us that there must be... Continue Reading →

This time, the visitor is  Bambi!! Or Faline...I'm not sure which. Either way, this is an adorable baby. Unfortunately, there is no sign of mama. She (or he) visits almost every day, filling up  on the trefoil and clover in our yard.

I have been growing, canning, cooking, drying and freezing food a lot more the last few years. Now, being unemployed AND on the Low Child Support Diet has encouraged me... Continue Reading →

Bear Photos


We had some excitement on the hill yesterday. Ant (Danny's buddy and Spare Spawn)  was the first to notice our visitor. Click on the first pic to start a slideshow. And then Mama Sharon and Papa Willard stopped by!! He told us black bears can sprint up to 30 mph, so we kept our distance... Continue Reading →

Dancing in Graveyards


I made a Fairy Cemetery for Halloween this year. It seemed appropriate, considering what a year of loss 2013 has been. I've always liked cemeteries. We grew up close to the Cook (Owens Twp.) Cemetery. Micki, Melissa, and I would meet there on bicycle and ride around the circular drives, marveling at the children's stones... Continue Reading →

Larry-isms #1 …


Happy St. Paddy's Day! Have you seen The Boondock Saints? Today would be a perfect day to watch it again. And in honor of Doc, I give you this clip (language alert). http://youtu.be/UACh3uTfjjU Mr. Wonderful reminds me of Doc...only without the cussing. ""Happy Saint Urkel's Day, Babe." (Like St. Urho's Day, but nerdier.) "Schmidget" (Similar... Continue Reading →
