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 […]
I’m continuing my daily walks (though I may skip one day a week on occasion) and am loving the turn of the season right now. Since I am also busy piling up my ornament production, I will leave you with images rather than words. Enjoy!
It’s been lovely to stroll around Evanston in this gorgeous weather. I am taking daily walks as part of a health plan, and love getting to know the various streets and gardens of my neighborhood better. Milkweed is abundant here, both planted by the city and private gardens, and it thrills me to see the […]
July seems to be nature month for me. Freshly energized by the North Park Village Nature Center, I decided to spend a humid afternoon at Emily Oaks Nature Center recently. The park was filled with day campers, but that didn’t deter me from taking my strolls around the short trails. The kids were encouraged to […]
I am taking a little pre-birthday time-out. It is easy to get overwhelmed in calls to actions, FOMO, grass-is-greener and doomsday thinking with the barrage of headlines and ensuing social media reactions. My Atlas of World History confirms that territorialism began when land ownership started in 9000 BC. As Billy Joel sings, we didn’t start […]
I’ve returned from my cabin getaway and will tell you more about that soon. Right now, I am basking in the springy sunshine too much to sit and write. I love this part of the season where petals unfurl in their brightest finery. Pink is trending. So pretty. My favorite scent is everywhere. I think […]
I had such fun creating a Swarm, and it has garnered more ideas percolating in my head. I love how the dragonflies turned out, and am also enamored with the ladybugs. At home, I fiddled with various configurations. The mobile can be added to and subtracted from. I put on a swarmy collection for the […]
It is Fall! I love the beautiful jewel tones of the season. Summer is still holding on here and there. We had a few chilly days that got the radiators going. But now we have warmer weather to where strolls in the park are enjoyable again. Soon there will be piles to toss around. The […]
I am not feeling well today so there are no coherent words to write. Instead, I give you some nature photos from recent walks. You can find lots of beauty in your neighborhood. This sign at the Bristol Renaissance Faire made me chuckle (and a lavender bath is on the schedule). I love this flaming […]
“I believe in recharging as often as possible. Go somewhere luxurious to luxuriate.” ~ Niquenya Fulbright of Building Bridges Consulting Last week the Network of Entrepreneurial Women held a discussion on treating ourselves. As we nibbled on savory paninis and vegan chocolate pralines at Let Them Eat Chocolate, NEW co-founder Erica Thomas provided tips on […]
