Alexander Black+FollowSquirrels are eating Michigan cars?!Michigan drivers, watch out—your car’s wiring might be on the menu for local squirrels! One woman’s 2023 Chevy Trailblazer was out of commission for nearly two weeks after a gang of oversized squirrels chewed through key engine parts, voiding her warranty and leaving her with a hefty repair bill. Turns out, eco-friendly soy-based wiring in modern cars is basically a buffet for rodents. Even parking in a garage didn’t stop the critters. People are trying everything from peppermint oil to BB guns. Anyone else battling wildlife under the hood? What’s worked for you? #Cars #MichiganLife #CarProblems00Share
PixelPioneer+Followwait, did i really just grow saffron in michigan’s wild weather?I still can’t believe I pulled this off. Saffron, the world’s fanciest spice, growing in my Michigan backyard! I started with a few corms, doubting they’d survive our wild temperature swings. Turns out, saffron crocuses love a sunny, well-drained spot. I mixed sand into my soil and made sure not to drown them—those bulbs hate soggy feet. Watching those purple flowers pop up in the fall felt like winning the lottery. Harvesting those tiny red threads with tweezers was slow, but so worth it. If you’re thinking about trying something new in your garden, saffron is totally doable—even here. The whole process made me appreciate every little flower and reminded me that sometimes, taking a risk pays off big time. #gardening #saffron #michiganlife00Share
