I have a confession to make! I’ve got a fishin’ problem, not to be confused with the song “I’ve got a drinkin’ problem”, ha-ha but equally as addictive. If you remember in my last Talk Till Dawn post I told you hubby wanted a fishing boat for his birthday, well that’s exactly what he got but the man can’t fish alone I’m always tagging along. I loved to fish when I was a kid and I now have the bug again. We go out early every morning and every evening that we can. I’ve had to rearrange my ... continue reading...
MILKWEED AND MONARCH BUTTERFLIES
Did you know Monarch butterflies and Milkweed are the perfect pair? Here on our land we have the perfect habitat for them. All summer long I can collect wildflowers and have a constant supply just by clipping flowers from our property. Milkweed is left alone though and reserved just for the Monarch’s. Luckily we live in an area where no one sprays their lawns with chemicals so the Milkweed thrives. Just this week I’ve seen several butterflies fluttering around the blooming plants. Did ... continue reading...
Happy 101 Birthday Grama Red
It’s the birthday girl! Grama Red is 101.....Wow can you believe that? We had a little party for her at the park over the weekend. Restaurants are still closed here so we all gathered where we could. It was a hot day 93 so no ice cream but we did manage to eat a little cake, cookies, and cupcakes. She’s one amazing lady, she still has her mind even though her body is slowing down. Not even a hit of dementia or memory loss. Her mind is better than mine most days, lol. She’s done so many ... continue reading...

Cabin Roof Storm Damage
We’ve had some rough weather here in Michigan lately. The cabin ended up with a little roof damage after a tornado topped our little town and devastated it. Our home is on a hill, the house is tall, and it’s always windy but to top it off 911 confirmed a tornado that was tree top level but didn’t touch down. Unfortunately it still did a lot of damage around our village and we were without power for several days. We are fortunate and have a generator that operates our entire home so the loss ... continue reading...
