The Week In Seven Photos

The wind was whipping this week and we finally have a few bare branches surrounded by delightful autumn color as the leaves continue to fall. Looking out into the yard it was a somewhat difficult decision to decide between throwing a Halloween party for the backyard visitors or working on the leaves. The animals voted…

Another year where I have begun my holiday celebrations quite early and am beginning to wonder if I’ll have enough energy to celebrate once Halloween arrives. This week it was all about pumpkins (and a few skeletons) at the annual Smashing Pumpkins at the Detroit Zoo and it was a new experience to enjoy the…

It was a much needed gorgeous autumn morning where the world and worries were left on the shore and the kayak glided into peaceful solitude without any boats or people in sight and only swans and ducks for company. The weather was perfect and for a giddy moment I could have joined this little guy…

I almost could convince myself that it’s only the…

What’s to blame for my lack of seven photos for the week? Too many football games?? Too many adorable fall decorations to admire??? Too much shopping and trying to convince Harper she should like her new chair???? Did I mention I might have overindulged in football and pizza????? Solution for future weeks, no more early…

As we enter the last few days of August there is always a debate in Michigan if Labor Day weekend is the official end of summer and looking around this week it appears the trees have proclaimed summer is over while there was a happy hedge that disagreed. Even before the arrival of September, we…

The realization that the wise days of middle age have arrived is when you spot a bad idea and you quickly bypass a youthful thought of “the best memories come from bad ideas” to the awareness that you wish all the bad ideas you encountered in life had shown up with a warning label. There…
