I'm Sorry That I Haven't Written As Much
As some of you already know, my dad's been in the hospital for the past week.
Last Sunday, at work, he got dizzy, and was rushed to the hospital. He was rushed to Ascension Rochester. He's been in the hospital for diverticulitis. He was in Henry Ford Macomb North for it before.
Tuesday, his afib came back, and he was in the ICU. He was in Henry Ford Macomb North for it before. Luckily, it happened when he was still in the hospital. It was there that they discovered an infection that was causing a lot of problems. He had to be put on a feeding tube, which is getting removed this week-either today or tomorrow. I had to bring him some things, along with the phone charger last week, when he was in the ICU. Luckily, I brought a mindless knitting project, and a book with me to read while I waited for his phone to fully charge.
He's out of the ICU, so he spends most of the time in his recliner in the room, while getting up for periods to walk around. He complains that he's pooping like it's his job. He's on a diet of liquids right now. Soon, they'll reintroduce solids into his system.
So, that's been the past week for me in a nutshell. I've been busy taking care of my mom, who has MS, and taking care of the household duties, so I don't have the time or the energy to write.

btw did you guys get the tri country transit millage? (that was a doozie of a google)
WE DID!!! :D :D :D
Metro Detroit is unique not just among global metro areas but also American ones, in that the people who live here DESPISE public transit. Metro Detroit, both urban and suburban, has a long and storied history of vicious hateful classism, racism, and the ongoing fetishization of the auto industry. As such, you'll find unimaginable opposition to the most basic of transportation alternatives here that you don't find the barest smidgen of anywhere else (for example, people do seem to try to actively hit and run over cyclists more here than anywhere I've lived).
However, despite about 50+ years of opposition from upper class white 1%ers, transit has survived! Not very well, but like a cockroach, we escape the crunch of the boot and continue to thrive under the nasty rotting carpet of capitalism.
That said: bus service passed 70-30 in suburban Wayne (the outskirts of the county Detroit is located in; they have their own separately funded municipal bus service, "DDOT"), 60/40 in Macomb county, and 56/44 in Oakland county (the very wealthy set of suburbs north of Detroit, which have been forced by the county board to participate in transit as a whole for the first time in almost 30 years).
If you want to read up about the collateral damage of this "buses are a Detroit problem" mentality a lot of suburbs have, check out this story that went around a few years ago of a Detroit man who was forced to take multiple buses, then walk for hours at a time to get from home to work in Rochester Hills and back again. It's genuinely the most heartbreaking and infuriating story of pointless and vicious cruelty I've ever read

Spring Awakening: A Landscaper’s Guide to Preparing Your Garden and Yard
Tumblr media
As we edge past the halfway mark of February, the buzz of spring starts to fill the air, especially for those of us with a green thumb or a patch of grass to call our own. Here at Greenhaus Landscaping, based in Macomb, MI, we see the coming of spring as the perfect cue to start thinking about preparing our outdoor space for the season. Get ready to roll up our sleeves and get our gardens and yards ready for the season’s grand entrance, that time is quick approaching. Let’s dive into a straightforward guide to shake off winter’s chill from your outdoor spaces.
Start Fresh
First things first, let’s clean up the mess winter left behind. Grab a rake or your gloves and clear out all the dead leaves, fallen branches, and any other clutter mucking up your garden. This isn’t just about making your yard look neat; it’s about giving your plants a healthy environment to grow, free from pests and diseases that love to lurk in the leftovers of last season.
Dream Up Your Space
Now, with a clean slate, it’s time to dream a little—or a lot. Think back on what worked last year and what didn’t. Want more flowers? Or maybe a corner dedicated to fresh veggies? Sketch your ideas out or just daydream a bit. If you can, think about adding some native plants to the mix. They’re great for the environment and local critters love them.
Soil TLC
Good soil equals happy plants. Early spring is the perfect time to check what your soil needs. Maybe it’s a bit of compost or some other organic love to boost its health. Remember, rich soil helps your plants grow strong and makes your garden more drought-resistant.
Pruning Time
While your garden’s still waking up, grab your pruning shears. Trimming back dormant shrubs and trees now means you can really see what you’re doing and avoid spreading diseases. It’s all about setting the stage for lush growth when things warm up.
Seed Starting
Why wait? Get a head start on the season by planting seeds indoors. Veggies like tomatoes and peppers, and even some flowers, will thank you for the early escape from the cold. By the time frost is a distant memory, you’ll have sturdy seedlings ready to thrive outdoors.
Water Smarts
Take a moment to think about how you’re going to water your garden. If you already have a system, give it a once-over to make sure it’s still up to the task. If not, maybe it’s time to consider setting up something like drip irrigation. It saves water and gets moisture right where your plants need it most.
Fix and Fancy Up
Last on the list, but definitely not least, is giving a little love to the non-living parts of your yard. Fix up any fences, paths, or trellises that have seen better days. And hey, why not think about adding something new? A cozy fire pit or a bubbling water feature can transform your garden into a whole new world.
Here at Greenhaus Landscaping, we’re all about helping you make the most of your outdoor space, turning it into a personal retreat that’s bursting with life. Whether you’re planning a few small changes or dreaming of a complete garden makeover, we’re here to help make it happen. Give us a shout, and let’s make this spring your garden’s best season yet.

Cyrus Packard, Sarah Barrows, and the Underground Railroad waystation
In July 2021, I noted in a footnote of one of my articles, about my slave-trading ancestor, Captain Samuel Packard, that Cyrus "Cy" Packard (1796-1860) and Sarah Barrows (1803-1903), two Packards in Topeka, Kansas, sheltered “runaway slaves”. Before then, I mentioned it in passing in an article in May 2019, citing page 1290 of The Underground Railroad: An Encyclopedia of People, Places, and Operations which says this about the activities of Cyrus and Sarah:
Tumblr media
Cyrus, my third cousin six times removed, [1] was the son of Icabod (1760-1814), captain and Revolutionary War veteran, and Rachel Cole (1768-1825). The latter was the daughter of a farmer named Ephraim Cole and Hannah Randall Pratt. Rachel received 26 pounds, thirteen shillings, and four pence at the time of Ephraim's death in September 1775. [2] In contrast, Icabod was the son of Reuben John Packard (1737-1820), another Revolutionary War veteran, and Anne D. Perkins (1737-1806).
This differed from Sarah Barrows, a woman who Cyrus married in January 1825. She was the daughter of William Barrows, a Deacon who established Hebron Academy in Hebron, Maine, and Catherine Pratt Macumber. Catherine had previously been married to man named Seth Macomber, with her maiden name as Pratt. [3] The story above is confirmed by various documents. The 1850 census shows Sarah, Cyrus, and their seven children (Sarah C., Charlotte A.H., Rachel C., Olive Augusta, Georgianna, Samuel F.) in Piscataquis, Maine, where Cyrus is a farmer, while Charlotte is a seamstress, and two farmers are in the same household (William Brown and Randall Chase). By 1860, Sarah and Cyrus would be living in Soldier, Shawnee, Kansas Territory, along with their daughter Catherine, son Samuel, daughter Olive, and three other individuals (William E. Bouker, William Owen, and Martha Owen). [4]
This also provides further evidence of the fact that Olive married William Owen, as they are living together in the same household. The 1900 census indicates that they married in 1859, as do other records. [5] More significant is an article in the Topeka Daily State Journal on June 5, 1907, an obituary of William, which tells the story of the role William and Olive had in the Underground Railroad and much more.
Another Kansas pioneer has. gone across the divide. William Owen came to Kansas In 1856, He made his home near the town of Indianola, Shawnee county. In 1858 he married Olive A. Packard. The house that he built on the Topeka and Holton road, near Rochester school house was one of the first houses built in that community, and is still occupied as a residence. It was a station of the "Underground railway," and John Brown made frequent trips along this road with his runaway slaves…Mr. Owen never sought office, and took little interest .in the game of politics--except as a means to an end…Mr. Owen was a close observer of men and things. He kept in touch with all reform movements. He joined the Greenback party and later the Socialistic wing of the People's party.
The aforementioned book, The Underground Railroad: An Encyclopedia of People, Places, and Operations, cites L.L. Kleine's article "The Battle of the Spurs and John Brown's Exit from Kansas" for its information about how the home of Cyrus and Sarah was a waystation on the Underground Railroad, and the house of Olive and William was a safehouse. The latter is described in detail on one page, noting that William put is life on the line and was jailed for his views:
Tumblr media
William E. Connolly's 1918 book, A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans is cited as a source
Kleine goes into details about a trip across the Underground Railroad in January 1859, stating that a "stop was made at the home of Cyrus Packard, four miles north of Topeka, where the negroes were unloaded and the refugees and their escort ate lunch". After failing to find the information in the first volume, the second volume, or the third volume, I found a whole passage about William in the fourth volume, on pages 1764 and 1765, noting some fascinating details, which says a lot about their involvement in the abolitionist movement and Underground Railroad:
Much of the pioneer history of Kansas might be written around the names Owen and Packard. The late William Owen was one of the men who came from the East in the days of the '50s for the purpose of assisting in the movement to make a free state out of Kansas. His father- in-law, Cyrus Packard, was also a prominent leader in the free state movement. Born in Rhode Island in 1827, William Owen came to Shawnee County, Kansas, in 1856, about the time the first territorial government was organized. As a young man in Rhode Island he learned and fol- lowed the trade of carpenter, and for a time was in the same vocation in Kansas. Later he conducted a sawmill, his being one of the first mills in the territory. He also was a merchant and kept a store at Rochester. After the war he was a farmer and carpenter, but in 1880 concentrated all his efforts upon farming and continued in that work for eighteen years, when he retired from business and moved to Topeka. Mrs. William Owen before her marriage was Olive Packard, and the Packard and Owen families lived close neighbors after coming to Kansas.
Her father, Cyrus Packard, who was born in the State of Maine June 5, 1796, served as a soldier in the War of 1812. He was a man of deep religious convictions, an active supporter of the Congregational Church and carried his religious beliefs and his social principles into practical action on every occasion. At the time of the abolition movement in Maine Cyrus Packard and one other man were the only ones in their community who had the courage to speak and advocate the cause openly. Cyrus Packard was nearly sixty years of age when the Kansas Nebraska bill was passed and precipitated the conflict for a free state in Kansas. It was his ardent belief in abolition that caused him to abandon his comfortable home and come out to help make Kansas free. William Owen was likewise zealously identified with the free state movement.
At one time he was captured by the slave faction in Kansas and was taken to Lecompton and put in prison. A few days later the governor of the territory arrived at Lecompton, dined with the prisoner, and in a few days secured his release. Mrs. William Owen herself has many interesting anecdotes to relate concerning early days in Kansas. She recalls the fact that John Brown stopped one night at the Owen house with sixteen negroes, and Brown was not an infrequent visitor at the Owen or Packard homes. In fact everyone associated with the old underground railroad knew the Owen and Packard families. General W. T. Sherman when a young man managing the Thomas Ewing ranch boarded with the Owen family and the general with Mr. Owen 's assistance built what was known for many years as the Sherman cabin. Mr. and Mrs. Owen had fourteen children, six sons and eight daughters. Ten of these children are still living.
There's more than this. Cyrus was apparently described as "one of the first anti-slavery men" by one of his daughters, Olive. The house she lived in with William, and which Cyrus and Sarah seemingly also lived in, built in 1857, was partially burned in 2009 and sadly demolished in 2015. The words of Olive were quoted in Joanna Stratton's Pioneer Women. Otherwise, the memoir of Georgianna, one of Olive's sisters, notes that in 1858, a "family of colored people" lived in the house, while Olive's memoirs are mentioned various times as a primary source. [6] As it turns out, the memoirs are within the Kansas Historical Society's Lilla Day Monroe Collection of Pioneer Stories but have have not been, yet, posted online. However, a genealogical article written by Robert Stone in the June 1947 edition of Bulletin of The Shawnee County Historical Society, notes that the home of Cyrus and Sarah was a "hiding place for John Brown and his underground railway". It also describes her as a remarkable woman who was the unquestioned head of the family, had six daughters who became teachers, and was "always interested in political and literary affairs." Perhaps due to a frontier spirit, she was interested in her roots, and was proud of being a DAR member, even though the DAR itself was inherently racist and is historically white, only admitting its first Black member (Karen Batchelor Farmer) in 1977 and added a Black woman (Wilhelmina Rhodes Kelly) to its board in 2019.
The National Underground Railroad Network of Freedom gives more detail, noting that the first station north of Topeka was cabin of William Owen and Sarah, "one of a few extant sites to have hosted John Brown and those he led northward". Otherwise, there is an account by genealogist Lillian Stone Johnson which reprints letters from Cyrus. In one letter to Sarah and Hannah in 1856, Cyrus says he would like to go to Kansas and notes the importance in moulding a future society, while a letter from Georgianna the same year to her siblings says they are knitting a pair of stockings for Kansas. In others, Cyrus continues his planning to go to Kansas. The same account says this:
…Cyrus Packard and William Owen ran an underground railway station at their place…on the corner across from the present Rochester School. Here John Brown often came with negroes. They were kept in the wagon overnight and Sarah Barrows Packard, Cyrus' wife and Olive Packard Owen fed them breakfast and sent them on.
Other genealogists have noted that Cyrus and Sarah Packard, in-laws of William Jordan, a committed abolitionist, "were deeply involved in Underground Railroad activities, as was his brother-in-law, William Owen." John Brown, at the time, was soliciting funds and arms to support fighting in the Kansas territory. One book seems to bring all these stories together: My Common, Remarkable Family: Civil War to the Twenty First Century. It is edited by Tony Allen. Kristen Kimberly Eppsfurther wrote about the story on page 213 of her 2010 Masters Thesis, "Bound Together: Masters and Slaves on the Kansas-Missouri Border, 1825-1865":
One later reminiscence described the fugitives’ frame of mind during the ordeal. Cyrus Packard’s daughter Olive Owen, who witnessed her father’s abolitionist work, recalled that “they were quite a jolly set.” This was even the case after they had slept outside in wagons hidden behind some thick brush near the Packard home (at Kansapolis, now known as Rochester). [7]
Others said that the home of Cyrus was within a community sympathetic with rescue of enslaved peoples. These Packards are not the only ones who were either anti-slavery, abolitionist, or both. Others include William Packard (1791-1870), one of the earliest supporters of abolition in Cummington, Massachusetts, Theophilus Packard (1769-1855) was a vice president of the Massachusetts Antislavery Society, while the house of Bowdoin College professor Alpheus Spring Packard is now known as the Russwurm African American Center and may have been a waypoint for enslaved peoples as part of the Underground Railroad. Additionally, the Ramsdell House in Mason Road, Egypt, New York was said to be an Underground Railroad station, along with food and other markers in the forest to help those fleeing slavery. Gideon Ramsdell, who owned the house lived in the same town as Philander Packard who had married Minerva Lapham, with Lucy Lapham, who was born in Cummington, as the mother of Gideon. [8] I hope to find more antislavery ancestors in the future, and if I do, I'll be sure to write about them here.
