My hands are busy making bees and my brain is busy processing research, but I also aim to take daily walks as the weather allows. Here are some snapshots of the recent beauty in my neighborhood. I don’t get beach tokens, but sometimes I am tempted to take a day at the beach. Picnic tables […]
We have had record-setting weather this winter, but the cold temperatures might finally be coming to an end. The ice queen is holding out during the warm-up, but she seems to be getting with the ice-loss program this week. I was able to resume my longer walk route on Monday and Tuesday, when it was […]
From polar vortex to ice storm. This winter is definitely packing a punch. My frosted windows melted away on Friday and my car started without a hitch. This weekend most of the ice and snow also melted away in above 40-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. This cheerful snowman had a very short life. But our brief time […]
January started off mild, but now we are getting the brunt of winter. A first blanket of snow appeared January 12. By mid-week the temperatures had become frostier, and the Lake had a visit from the Ice Queen. I enjoyed the stroll, although fingers get frosty by the lake when the wind is whipping. The […]
Here’s to the last hurrah of our snow fest this month. A few weeks ago Lake Michigan was splashing chilly waves all over the place. It made beautiful iciclescapes. Then came a dump of 12 inches over the weekend. Officially we got 6 on the biggest day, but it looks like more to me. Dutchies, […]
This January feels stalled. I am not accomplishing what I thought I would, partially because of where my family focus has been. I had a laundry list of things I wanted to work on since December 15, but am finding that January is breezing by. So when I returned from Houston I decided to let […]
Summer has begun and I wish I could go on vacation. Instead I am sneaking lake time away from the computer when I can. I uninstalled the DOT Show and am pleased my circles held up well. I even got to take home 2 of Carol Hamilton’s dots. Along the way I got to watch […]
It’s still wire bending time in the studio, but I did have a chance to stroll by the lake during two balmy weekends. Yesterday’s snow flurries remind us it is still winter, but for a moment Spring was real! At least the queen’s crown is melting off. Within a week the tree trimmers came by. […]
“You are here so God can experience the world through your eyes. See what you see, feel what you feel. Everyday he can’t wait to see what you’ll do. He can’t wait! Every day he falls in love with the world all over again. Elizabeth, you are his muse.†~ Jeff Daniels as Arlen Faber […]
My energy is coming back and some good things have been kicked off, but I still need to ease into a normal routine. The Ice Queen paid a visit this weekend and left some lovely art behind. There is much beauty in this wintry scenery, though staying out very long is not an option. I’m […]
