The Week In Seven Photos
After being teased with hoodie weather recently I would normally spend a few minutes venting about the return of summer weather with storms and the dew point reaching 70, but this ornery freeloader let me know the conditions were worse for him and that he would appreciate a fan for his digs under our deck.…

Weekend Watching
Wandering through the weekend I watched as the transition from summer to fall marched on with probably my last butterfly sighting, conversations transitioning from flowers to apples and the birds patiently waiting for the arrival of their fall feathers.

Weekend Watching
The weather was perfect this weekend and I should have been kayaking instead of watching others kayak, but I was wandering through a favorite art fair and being dragged away from wonderful signs, beautiful hats and registering my niece for the Cold Butt Euchre Tournament.

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…

Harper and I were out celebrating with the butterflies and ducks the arrival of August and the first football game of the season during a rare beautiful summer day this year. The Hall of Fame game always lets me know that we are one month away from my favorite month and, of course, football and…
