Yes- it is really amazing when you see it- snow falling for days. Snowshoes at the ready to take the dogs out for a walk. Winter in Southwest Michigan is something to see.

We didn’t get the hoop house up- but we are getting ready to do it as soon as we can clear some snow. It will be a bit more difficult in the cold but we need to have it ready to start the seeds in the spring.
We recently had an adventure in Detroit. I found an online auction, actually I found several, but one was a restaurant supply in Detroit (that’s where I grew up) that was closing. We need a fridge and a stove for the farmhouse and I love to cook so I got crazy excited about possibly getting one of those professional stoves with six burners and a griddle and two ovens. Needless to say, I was WAY outbid on those, of course they started at $1 but ended at over $500! I also found sinks- stainless steel, multiple compartment, really nice for cleaning vegetables! So I went ahead and bid on some of those as well. Again, I was out bid by a long shot on all but one. Thus begins the adventure!
I received confirmation after sitting with my computer refreshing the page and crossing my fingers that I would win something, ANYTHING! I settled on winning a stainless table with a bottom shelf and a small sink on one side. This piece also had an overhead shelf. I ended up winning it for $140. That was on Sunday night after I got done working all day. I then told Jody (who was sitting next to me on the couch, frustrated with the whole online auction process) that we were going to Detroit tomorrow to pick it up!
I called mom and dad, who still live there, and told mom we were coming to town tomorrow. She thought I was crazy and offered to go pick it up for me. I told her that I didn’t want her to have to do that so we just asked them to leave a light on for us cause we were hitting the road!
Next up… the auction pick up experience!
