Belly Ache?

This lovely furry friend appeared to rest and sunbathe on the other side of our fence this afternoon. I can only assume that chewing off the top of one of our planks tuckered him out and gave him some belly troubles. Argh. Sure hope this destructive little critter turns out to be a Rally Squirrel…

This Life is a Good One

This life is a good one. Enjoy it. — Jim Henson An oh-gawd-o’clock appointment had me feeling a bit fuzzy, anxious and disheveled this morning. I fumbled around the house on autopilot, but ultimately stumbled out the door on time. As soon as I was out the door, however, I knew something was a little…

Wandering…

…through the woods on a Wednesday. Little by little, green is peeking through.

Up

As I rummaged through my iPhone photo library this morning, I realized something. Apparently I love clouds. And I look at the sky. A lot.

Hazy, Lazy Morning

So I woke up early this morning and noticed a thick haze out our windows. It looked like a dream. Fearing that the fog would soon burn off, I snagged a camera and ran out the door. I ran out the door and apparently left my brain behind. I was wearing flannel and no shoes….

Ten Thousand Hills

Parents’ Day Weekend at Tanner’s fraternity house brought a much-needed road trip this weekend. It’s so weird to see how grown up and independent my youngest child has become. Weird, but fun. Early this morning I decided to stop by a state park before heading home. Ten Thousand Hills State Park is just outside of…

Grace

I’m tired. I don’t feel well. I’m going to bed early. I’ll run tomorrow. Those were my initial thoughts when I got home this evening. But as I tried to settle in, thoughts of my upcoming race started to nag at me. I’ve worked so hard…am I really going to get wimpy now? It’s less…

What was that?!

This was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen. Remember that Murmuration video that went viral because it was so breathtakingly beautiful? These photos represent something I saw that was very similar, but on a much smaller scale…only these were not starlings. Nor did this take place in a remote natural setting. No, this…

Glimpse

Home after a long week and a beautiful detour. More tomorrow…

Hope you’ll agree

I know it’s unusual for me to have two video blog posts in a row, but I’m now of the belief that every week needs to close with a whale blowing out a rainbow.

Taking it Outside

Today, March made its exit in even more glorious fashion than it made its entrance. Oh my gosh, what a stunningly beautiful day. I decided to take advantage of this little gift by taking my 5k training outside to a local county park. I gotta tell ya, I was feeling pretty good about my progress…

And just like that…

Today this tiny tree decided that it was time to start its show. Yesterday, curtain was closed. Today, curtain’s up. It was as if the tree knew that the dreary, chilly backdrop of the day’s weather would magnify the miracle of its performance.

A Look Outside

Growing up, our house was plunked in the middle of several thickly wooded acres way out in the middle of nowhere. As an adult, I’m plunked in the suburbs with neighboring houses within view out of literally every window. Guess who has the better bird watching? Maybe it’s simply because I didn’t pay attention when…

I spy…

A host of feathered travelers making their way in a perfectly silent line. Bright and early this morning, they were a lovely sight to start the day. Hello, weekend. I’ve missed you.

Monday

These little clover puffs are sweet, even when they’re withered.

New Blog!
