Monday Musings
Harper wants to know who’s been spreading rumors around here that she doesn’t like the snow, especially since she’s now joined the backyard gang in thinking that life is good, even in winter. The squirrels and turkeys are enjoying breakfast together once again, the hawks can easily monitor all the activity through bare trees and …

The Week In Seven Photos
My favorite season abruptly had the door closed on it as winter actually slammed the door on autumn with a record-setting November appearance. There are many things to love about the first beautiful snowstorm, even if it arrives in the wrong season, the wonderful blue skies surrounding the snow covered trees, all the birds visiting…

Monday Musings
It was a quiet weekend at home as Harper preferred to stay indoors and slept through the great football games, Minnesota/Penn State and LSU/Alabama, as she continues to recuperate, so there was no hanging out with the swans or enjoying sunrise. It’s cold enough for making snow on the slopes, but so far we’re still…

Weekend Musings
One of those weekends where you find yourself closing your eyes and shaking your head at the blustery winds and rain, frost on the pumpkin and some of your teams failing to show up at game time. Harper was thrilled with the weekend conditions though since it meant we could stay indoors in our favorite…

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…

Monday Musings
After our frost advisories and freeze warnings last week, these might be the last bees I see this year. It was a great autumn weekend and probably the last one for outdoor dining and chatting about the disappointing losses by the New York Yankees and University of Michigan football team and the new Netflix series,…
