The Week In Seven Photos

My love of photography, cinema and peaceful walks were brought together this week when I had the chance to wander through a few of the 20 beautiful gardens that surround the Cranbrook House, capture photos using the cinematic feature on the Hipstamatic app and later in the day enjoy another “horticultural escape” through the beautiful…

Flowers And Movies

I always love when I can add another favorite to my lists and this week the absolutely wonderful documentary Diana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy was added. I loved my introduction to Diana Kennedy, enough that I’m determined to start cooking again since our restaurant days are on hold, and “Diana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy provides an intimate look…

Things have been a little wild lately on the lake between the birds and while I have continued to maintain my distance from the meanest swan on the lake, the little birds have decided they prefer a closer relationship with the eagle and sandhill cranes. You not only have to be careful of what is…

The Week In Seven Photos

Some days I’m not sure what I know, but this week I definitely know how wonderful it was to enjoy a Starbucks white chocolate mocha once again. I’m not sure how I’ve lived all these years without knowing how much I like olive loaf and that it’s possible to learn new things while grocery shopping.…

The Week In Seven Photos

We had a perfect morning for kayaking earlier in the week and, as usual, I could hear comments from my niece in the distance wondering if I had checked the winds in the forecast and why was I taking photos of my coffee mug again instead of the wonderful sandhill crane dancing along the shore as…

Monday Musings

My favorite weather of blue skies and 60 degrees arrived this weekend and encouraged me to take my first bike ride of the season and make the reacquaintance of a few muscles I haven’t noticed in awhile. The dog basket remained empty as Harper has let me know that her paws are made for walkin’…

The Week In Seven Photos

After three years of “The Week In Seven Photos” series, maybe it’s time to switch things up and create a weekly “Welcome To My Rant” series. It was nice this week to not be the only one floating in the middle of the lake ranting about the state of the world or how crowded the…

Monday Musings

With the easing of restrictions across the country coinciding with the holiday weekend, there was a sense on the news that many were on the move again. There were lines for restaurants and bars, the campgrounds and beaches were full in many places and groups showed up at the park with their coolers and fishing…
