The Week In Seven Photos
As a woman firmly planted in middle age as a member of Generation X, I found myself again this week watching the tragic events on the news with a tremendous feeling of sadness at the lives shattered and the continued loss of innocence for the new generation of children growing up in this world. Being…

The Week In Seven Photos
A new holiday tradition was added this year and the birdseed eating contest was a complete success with little chipper taking first place. Of course, the high heat and humidity meant some had to watch from a distance in the shade while others acted a little too superior to partake in the fun, even though…

The Week In Seven Photos
It’s that time of year in Michigan when you want to wake up with the birds and enjoy the lake and sunrise before the rest of the world awakes. You can sing your favorite tunes from your summer playlist without scaring anyone other than the birds, not worry about being without a fishing pole since…

Weekend Watching
Harper was exhausted from her week of shopping, dining out and her first art festival, so luckily we were home on Saturday to watch all of the activity when the backyard visitors decided to throw their first party of the season. It was exciting to watch the rare Baltimore Oriole drop by and enjoy the…

Weekend Watching
On the one nice day we had this weekend, I watched more chipmunks than birds from the deck and strangely the blue jays and mourning doves have joined the cardinals currently as our most frequent visitors. Since it appears we have developed a new rainy season, I had time to watch the U.S. Open at…

The Week In Seven Photos
I’m going to blame my recent cold, a spell of vertigo, the weather and Harper’s decision to begin her days at 4:00 a.m. for a bout of exhaustion this week and a lack of desire to go wandering with my camera. I did manage to go out in the front yard with the camera on…

The Week In Seven Photos
Nature was conspiring against me this week as I was hoping for dark clouds to suit my mood as I was fighting a cold and instead was greeted with blue skies and beautiful flowers around every corner. Many in the family were riled up since a few of us have been ill and all the…

The Week In Seven Photos
It was one of those weeks in the sporting world where all of my teams were losing and I needed to seek solace in the flower gardens. There’s no cryin’ in hockey, but if there was there would have been a few tears after the Carolina Hurricanes eliminated the Washington Capitals from the playoffs. Thankfully, blueberry roses made…
