Waters Back!

Water has come back and now is high. What extremes. Always something different to see.

Water Out?

Looked out and was surprised to see the water had gone way out. I have never seen it go out so far. The things you see out on the lake.

Lightning

Lightning hit a pine tree by my friends, Jan and Bills home. It shredded the tree and blew the top off it--left only 12 ft. standing and the rest shredded over a 150ft. area. It blew the wire right out of the phone box outside and blew the cover off the main box at the road. Was a sight to see. There was dirt blown out at the base of the tree also. The power of lightning is a thing to behold. I'm so glad it was early in the morning and they were not outside. It could have been a tragedy.

Fog and quiet.

Yesterday and today has been foggy. The ships are calling and telling all other ships of their whereabouts. We walked the beach and enjoyed the sounds of the foghorns, birds and water lapping on the shores. It is warmer today but your skin feels moist from the rolling fog. Steam room without the heat.

Fishing

We got up and went fishing this morning with our friends Jan and Bill. They have a real nice home on the Tahquamenon River. I really loved going on the pontoon boat. It rained a little but later it was cool and a lot of fun. A few fish were caught but no keepers. They are fun to do things with and a nice time was had by all.

Home Again

We got home from our visit in Davisburg and saw the family and Dennis Mom. Everyone is doing well and the kids are growing fast. We missed Ann, Rich, Becca, Sarah, Terese and Mike--Tessa too. I really enjoyed watching the chickens and baby chicks. They make you laugh at their antics. They have alot of different birds down there and I got some pictures of some of them. Norm and Sandy brought us a loaf of bread from a bakery in Petoskey. Mmmmmm! Sounds like it's time for bread, butter and a cup of hot coffee. I sure like my necklace Mike. Thank you! It goes with my bracelet.

A day on the little farm

Today we went to check on Jims progress in finishing his basement. It is looking very good. Movie room, nice bathroom, new laundry room and a large bedroom. He also is making a big storage area. We then went to a Estate sale and found little things we needed for all of 3.50. Alidas Dad made me a bird house to go with our trailer and I hung it right up. I really like it. I think they would sell at the Blueberry festival. We helped Steve load a couple of cows for the butcher and cleaned out the chick pen. They are really growing fast. Alida got some of those eggs from the chocolate chickens and they really are as dark as chocolate. Miranda thought they were and wanted to take a bite. She really would have been unhappy with the taste of them.. It was a real nice day with lots to do. Have a good night.

Spring

Davisburg has been trying to enter into a Spring time weather situation. It has been cold, rainy and totally not Spring. The chickens have been happy to have the snow leave but Jim and his neighbor have robins hiding in their garages from the cold. The chicks have been moved to the barn and are doing well. Spring should be here soon but I think the summer will be cool especially up north. I guess we will wait and see.
