I am very nervous around poultry. (See "Guinea Monsters From Hell") And I used to hate cooking. So this Martha Stewart-esque-ness is new to me. 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 →

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 →

I have been getting a lot of questions about the changes to my house last fall. (I live very close to one of the main roads in the area, so a lot of people drive by on their way to work, school, or their vacation homes.) "Who are those guys, and what are you doing... Continue Reading →
2012 in Review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for pajarigirls! Here's an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,500 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 8 years to get that... Continue Reading →
Purple Statistics
Statistics and Quantitative Analysis are two of the classes that keep me from having a Bachelor's degree. However, the Stats page of my WordPress site is AWESOME. For example, it tells me that the blog has been viewed 3,209 times since I started it in August, 21 so far today and the busiest day had... Continue Reading →
Ice Gems/Marbles; How-To-Not-To
Personal Note from The Baby: As the Employee of the Year at Cook Dollar Barn, I feel it is my duty to share not only my successes but also my epic failures. Mistakes are where I learn the most, anyway. And I make plenty of them. You're welcome. Last night's mistake Valuable Learning Experience (VLE)... Continue Reading →
I Hate Pants.
Don't get me wrong. Not all the time. Not every day. Well, usually at SOME point every day, I hate them... Okay, maybe I should clarify that a little. Maybe you fell behind and are raising your hand. By "pants", I mean jeans or slacks. Pajama pants, yoga pants, leggings and long johns don't fall... Continue Reading →
