City, Suburb or Country?

I’ve lived the majority of my life in the suburbs, but have loved the years spent visiting or living in cities. Now that the temperature has warmed up, I was finally able to use one of my Christmas coupon gifts from my niece for a “A Walk In The City Of Your Choice.” During the…

The Week In Seven Photos

It’s wonderful to close the door on January and the disappointing end to the football season without a Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions Super Bowl. Luckily February will be filled with plenty of Oscar nominated movies, hockey and college basketball games to help me forget I’m waiting for Bryce Harper to hit a home run…

It Was Wonderful To Have A Few Hours Of Sunshine

It was as shocking to have some sunshine yesterday as it is to realize Monday is the end of college football and it’s the final weekend of the NFL regular season. I’m never at a loss for finding some sports game to watch all year, but nothing compares to my love of football season. I…

Don’t Disturb Me, I’m Exhausted

I’ve lost track of how much sleep I’ve lost lately thanks to Harper, but at least she’s recovering with many power naps. Harper has always been an anxious dog and we’ve always adapted to new issues while never understanding old issues like how can you be afraid of a tiny fly and chase thirty turkeys…

The Week In Seven Photos

Santa had to travel through plenty of rain and fog to deliver presents this year. I don’t remember ever having a holiday weather week like this one that included fog advisories that lasted over 24 hours and then just normal fog and rain the rest of the week. Luckily there were many bright spots through…

Holiday Spirit

There’s always that fear when I begin celebrating the holidays too early that I’ll run out of energy by Christmas, but the holiday spirit is still going strong. Yesterday we watched the wonderful premier of the HAUSER Christmas Special full movie after watching one of my favorite holiday movies, Love the Coopers, the day before.…

New Favorite Thing – Lighted Forest Walks

It’s hard to believe, but I might be changing my ways in my old age. I’ve always loved sunrise walks, but after an evening walk through an illuminated forest I’ve found a new favorite walking experience. What a beautiful escape into another world surrounded by stars and northern lights. I love the Christmas lights in…

Christmas Movie Season

The Christmas movie season has begun and as is often the tradition, Die Hard and Home Alone kicked off the movie marathon. I always try to mix in some new movies every year hoping they will become a permanent part of the Christmas movie celebration and was off to a rough start with several movies…

Joys Of A Foggy Rainy Day

Who cares about how foggy and rainy a day is as long as you can see good enough to watch a belted kingfisher dive for fish. I love this little bird and even though it wasn’t raining while I took this shot, this is one of the rare birds I would be willing to stand…
