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…

The Week In Seven Photos
After a week of winter storms and dangerously cold temperatures, it’s hard to imagine we just had waves on the lake last Friday. The swans are also trying to figure out how things could change so drastically after the mild beginning to winter while the little birds have adapted rapidly to the extra birdseed during…

Snow Day
It was actually a few snow hours and then a slush day and I’m now a believer in buying a snowman instead of making one (the chickadees agree). Did not take me long to have my first fall of the season, went out to fill the bird feeders and before I knew it I was…

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…
