Gardening 👩🏾‍🌾

Today I jumped right in the garden. We have rain coming, so I don’t want to procrastinate. I pulled out some of my archived seeds. I have seeds in there that I’ve never grown. I just want to see what I threw in there over the years. I usually just grow the seeds that come out of my vegetable after I pick them. This year I want to try something different.

Last night it was chilly, so I didn’t take a evening walk. The mosquitoes are unbearable this year. I just wish they didn’t exist I swear.🤦🏾‍♀️ Well back to the garden I go before the rain.

Where is my luck?

Well Friday was great, and then my phone and WordPress didn’t let me live. I don’t know why I couldn’t post Saturday and Sunday. I was able to read other blogs, so I did that. My phone wasn’t saving my pictures, so I have no pictures of the bikers this weekend. 😔

On Friday we did have the movie marathon. I don’t want to hear about camp crystal lake anymore!😂😵‍💫 It was a nice night. I just hate that I didn’t get the pictures. Saturday and Sunday we watched the bikers. Don’t have pictures of that neither.🤦🏾‍♀️

My birthday is Wednesday, but I’m celebrating on the weekend. I’m just going to get on the lake and have some friends and family come. Depending on the weather the lake is not for sure. Rain is in the forecast, so we will see how that goes.

Friday the 13th

The rain ruined my evening stroll, so we watched movies. We watched ‘The Batman’, and we watched ‘A Quiet Place 2’. Both were really good movies. I guess I have to watch Friday the 13th movies today. Make it into a fun event.

The weather is beautiful, and the kids have a free day today. I guess we will get outdoors and do something exciting. There is a major event this weekend. Blessing of the Bikes. I’m seeing lots of bikers already. They were blessed with great weather for the occasion.

We will see what the day brings us!

*Grew this cucumber last year. It was delicious* 😋

Good day turned Great

There was dreadful rain in the morning, but it went away by lunch. I spent some time digging through my materials for sewing. I’ve been wanting to make a couple things. I also have some projects to finish. I’m thinking of getting into doll making. My daughter has begged me for forever. I have to first figure out which type I want to make. There’s so many to choose from. I’ll figure it out 🤔.

I’m going to take an evening walk again to see what I can find. I’ll take lots of pictures. The weather is beautiful still. 80 degrees with sunshine. I hope for a warm evening.

Confused

Yesterday I try to publish my blog. For some reason it would not load. It was a very bad storm, so I assumed that was the problem. I don’t think it was because all my other apps worked on my phone.

Anyways I had a good video of the rain. I think the weather may stay the same today. It looks dreary already, and the humidity is high. I’ll try to do most activities inside today if it’s like yesterday. I’m going to try to get more pictures and videos. This is my favorite time of year and my birthday has snuck up on me. I don’t really have anything planned.

Hopefully no rain today. I can get back outdoors and enjoy this May weather!

This weather!?!?

*The weather for the week in Michigan is blowing my mind*🤯

I’ve just been enjoying this too much! I know it won’t last, that’s just how Michigan is. I’m going to take full advantage of this weather this week. My husband and I went for a evening walk yesterday. It was the best because it was so warm.

*Abandoned tiny cabin. Found on the walk.*

We stopped by the lake for a second. Something was moving fast in the woods by the abandoned house, but I couldn’t get a picture quick enough. It was kind of big so we didn’t stick around long.

I will take a walk every day at night this week. As long as this weather allows. It’s really beautiful at night and I want more pictures. I also wonder if there is more spooky abandoned places. We will see I guess🤔

Just some pictures

Love how the land looks during the winter, but we use so much wood. I’m relieved in the summer to not have to use much wood.

*This whole pile is gone basically. Thankfully it’s not completely gone like last year.*

There is lots of space left to build things, but I don’t want to many things to built in the land because I don’t cut down trees. We get what’s on the ground or what’s close to damaging the house.

That’s it that’s all!

Great weekend

This weekend was so warm with no rain. I completed so many things. It was hard to not just kick back and get on the lake. I know I would have been upset with myself if I didn’t work. My kids are the best little helpers. I will do something special for them for all the work they did.

People came to their vacation houses this weekend. There were a few boats on the lake, and nice big bonfires at night. It was nice because its usually so quiet up here. I met the new neighbors and gave them some of my vegetables. I watched everyone go back home for work this morning. I’m glad I never leave this sanctuary.

On with the rest of the week. Hopefully this weather continues.

What’s next

Today my thoughts are wondering again. If you watch the news it’s like we live in the twilight zone. Laws we need being reversed. All the talk about crypto and the meta verse. The war that’s still brewing, and the food supply is short world wide. I just hate where we are right now. I’m glad I live slightly off the grid. I couldn’t deal with the city. I save more money out here than in the city. When I talk to my elders their confidence is comforting. Its amazing how events come back around, and your elders will tell you “this isn’t new”. Things repeat themselves because they weren’t solved the first time. I’m optimistic about the future, and I won’t stop moving forward.

Wondering thoughts

I remember the idea of working from home used to make me cringe. I have no idea why. I think the thought of being a house mom or homemaker was not enough for me. I felt it would take away my independence. Today I can’t believe I thought that way. It was a scare tactic that I gave myself. I love being home! I still make money, and I get to spend an abundance of time with my family. My husband has many jobs, but since he’s self employed he’s home a lot also. My children are homeschooled, but only for 3 years so far. They were in public school in the city. I took them out 6 months before COVID arrived. I had no idea more parents would be making the same decision months later.

I’m done with over thinking and procrastinating. It’s time to just go for every goal, even if you don’t get the result you was looking for. 10 years ago I made a great decision for myself, and now I’ll go forward 👩🏾‍🌾
