Feeling Summer in the Winter

This past weekend we were lucky enough to welcome visitors to our new house here in South Dakota.  It was fantastic to see Pete, Anne and the boys.  There was lots of laughter & some adventure.  One of the things we did was visit the Sertoma Butterfly House.  It’s a very cool place to check [...]

Snowmageddon 2009 or A Typical Minnesota Winter

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 to capture some of the snowfall.  It has been a very snowy winter this season…it reminds me of my childhood when we’d have days [...]

October Round Up: Yippie Ki Yay

In this month’s rehash I’m mostly going to post pictures of random things & the visit with my brother TJ, his wife Jen & their boy little A (now I have the Jetsons theme song stuck in my head).  October was a month of more struggles for me & Abe.  We’ve made some major decisions [...]

Snow Feathers The Yard….

Just a few pics from around my yard today.

My favorite tree…waning with autumn's slide to winter.

solitary scarlet leaf & a dusting of snow

naked branches scraping at the sky

rain drops faltering, resisting gravity

 

Cave-ing

I’m feeling like a trip down memory lane again today & this is another one the that makes me laugh ’til I cry &/or snort.  Whenever Abe really wants to make me laugh he will mention our one & only “real” vacation.  Back when life was good & full of promise we decided to take [...]

Swinging Pigs

5 year old me was always outside weather permitting. I had not yet discovered “chapter” books so although I was an accomplished reader books didn’t own me the way they would during my teen years (ok, they still own me).  Being a farm girl there were 6.475 billion things to do on any given day. [...]

Beauty In My Backyard

Okay so I am a total shutterbug. I adore taking photos…it’s like writing for my eyes. It gives outlet to my creativity & allows me to slow down to appreciate nature and those I love.  Here are some photos I took this past week at home…

My pink hibiscus–it makes me smile.

Saturday 9/26–a beautiful [...]

Lake Itasca: Headwaters of the Mississippi

Okay no writing, just pictures of my day trip…one I’ve always wanted to make & finally did. ENJOY!

 

Goodbye To Summer-2009

Author’s Note: I started this nearly a week ago…as you can see it’s taken a while to finish this but I’m going to keep writing it as if no time at all has passed.  In fact it may not have as I could possibly have found a way to go back in time & finish [...]

Back Out Into the World

I haven’t been up to doing much lately…mostly I can make it through a day at work & back home.  It’s strange to feel this tired & even worse this weak.  Slowly I’m doing my best to get back the strength that not feeling well has sucked out of me.  To that end I decided [...]
