Arrowhead Park Visit

By On June 24, 2011 · Leave a Comment
I took these photos on Father’s Day.  We had taken a little jaunt to Arrowhead Park, which is near our house, for a walk.  The waterfowl area is well-kept & fairly clean considering all the birds.  The paths are perfect for strollers and easily navigated.  We walked around the quarry & up to […]

Father’s Day Firsts

Some photos from Father’s Day (Abe’s first). We started the day with breakfast almost in bed.  The guys came down just as I finished fixing the plates.  After breakfast Abe did a little mowing (I’m sidelined from mowing again as our rider died).  While Abe mowed, Magnus & I made a card.  Magnus liked the […]

Sunrise–A Pictorial

I am a notorious night owl/insomniac.  This tends to be a bit of a huge problem with an infant around.  Lately it hasn’t been too bad but this past weekend I had a night where I absolutely could not sleep.  I read all night & Abe woke up early so we decided to take a load […]

Country Summer

By On August 13, 2010 · 3 Comments
There have been very few posts on here lately & they have pretty much been serious & a bit depressing. I won’t apologize for that because I’m hella depressed. However I have not forgotten to notice the beauty around me. Though I haven’t been outside much this summer I have managed to take pictures while […]

A Burst of Spring

By On April 11, 2010 · 1 Comment
A year ago I waxed (somewhat) poetic about the joys of spring.  I was often found sitting on my front patio (sometimes wrapped in a large blanket) enjoying the sounds, scents & sun of that time.  I reveled at my country dwelling & all the charms present.  Flowers blooming, trees flowering & heavy with the […]

And into the West a Sunset

By On April 9, 2010 · Leave a Comment
These are just random pictures I’ve taken of the area around our new home.  One thing I can say about living on the prairie is that when there is a sunset (or sunrise) I don’t have to worry about finding a clear shot.  It’s easy to avoid an ill-placed tree in the wide open plains. […]

This was the scene at my parents’ house on Christmas Eve.  I was deathly ill over the holidays but I did take a few minutes to bundle up & go out […]
