City, Suburb or Country?
I’ve lived the majority of my life in the suburbs, but have loved the years spent visiting or living in cities. Now that the temperature has warmed up, I was finally able to use one of my Christmas coupon gifts from my niece for a “A Walk In The City Of Your Choice.” During the…

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…

While the ski resorts are…

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…

Joys Of A Foggy Rainy Day
Who cares about how foggy and rainy a day is as long as you can see good enough to watch a belted kingfisher dive for fish. I love this little bird and even though it wasn’t raining while I took this shot, this is one of the rare birds I would be willing to stand…

Looks Like Winter, Feels Like Winter, But It Sounds Like Autumn
The following piece was the first music playing on Apple Music HAUSER Radio when I began shoveling snow yesterday morning. While HAUSER Radio was a complete success for a morning walk, the selection of music after this one did not suit the occasion. Next time I’ll try more Vivaldi or a few waltzes and try…

It’s Puppuccino Time!
According to everything I’m seeing on tv and in the store, I should be saying it’s time for the holidays, but somehow I mentally made a decision to not leave October. I’m shocked the holidays are here and that I actually heard someone already talking about New Year’s resolutions. I’m also shocked that I haven’t…
