Weekend Watching

I had planned on being up early to watch the sunrise, but I stayed up late the night before watching some of the new/old fall tv previews (Murphy Brown, New Amsterdam, A Million Little Things, Manifest, Last Man Standing). I thought I would be out kayaking at some point to see if the turtles were…

The Week In Seven Photos

Wandering through the week, the “hello FALL” vibe was beaming from the delightful storefronts along Main Street and inviting everyone to slow down, take a seat and appreciate and smile at the charm of the season. Gabby was feeling better by midweek and the house was filled with the sound of her barking once again…

The Joys Of Fall Cleanup

With the beautiful arrival of autumn comes the very extended season of fall cleanup. Surrounded by trees, our yard will be covered with leaves through November and, for some reason, they never look as pretty on the ground as in the trees. Thankfully, after one of the most humid summers working in the yard that…

The Joys Of Grocery Shopping

That is a bizarre title for someone who does not enjoy grocery shopping and who at one time in a distant single life shopped in the grocery and snack aisle at the local pharmacy, but there is always something fun to be found at the grocery store that was not on the list. I can…

Weekend Watching

I thought I would be out on the lake during the weekend watching the arrival of autumn, but Gabby had other plans.

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner

It’s another movie theme Saturday since I immediately thought of the movie title Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner after I watched this Great Blue Heron walk toward the stairs after striking out searching for fish along the shoreline and frogs in the flower bed. I’ve always loved romantic comedies and one of the early on-screen couples…

The Week In Seven Photos

I love the change of the seasons and especially the arrival of fall. As the final days of summer drifted away this week, I could feel the gradual shift to the autumn palette of colors. The colors of summer were transitioning to deep shades of beauty. The water was a deeper blue and the birds…

Shakespeare or Orwell?

We live in a political time where 1984 by George Orwell is constantly being referenced, but my preference has always been William Shakespeare. Did my enjoyment of Shakespeare begin with the first words read, the Shakespeare course taught by a brilliant college professor that looked brilliant wearing splendid scarves or the many fabulous film adaptations…

Weekend Watching

I spent some of the weekend watching the arrival of beautiful fall colors and the leaves beginning to fall. In between football games there was time for watching the little birds and the big birds. I was amazed to look out the window and watch the turkey chase a deer into the woods with a…

Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad

For the last few weeks there have been three hummingbirds fighting for position at the hummingbird feeder and while I have managed to capture photos of one, I thought it would be a fluke to capture photos of two or more as they chased each other away. Imagine my surprise to watch two together and…
