Mama Nature’s on a streak!
Two sunny winter days in a row! Shall we hope for a three-peat? The dogs and I ran out into the day utterly delighted with blue skies and showers of sunshine, and I forgot to bring the camera. This never happens. Still, it’s just as well. It gave me plenty of time to laugh at […]
No ice on Torch Lake, but feast your eyes on the winter sunshine
January 8, 2010
I’ve told you quite a lot lately about Winter and its gray flannel dress suit. Today a little sunshine splashed in the front windows. In the interest of balanced reporting, I left the housecleaning behind and trotted out into the day. We parked at the DNR access at the north end of Torch Lake and walked […]
A Fence Post
January 7, 2010
This all started when I saw an absolutely gorgeous image of a Kansas fence over on Anna and Preston Surface’s blog. I wandered off on a digression about fences I have known and what they have meant to me, and perhaps to others. Wooden fences, picket fences, Tom Sawyer painting the fence, wrought iron fences, barbwire […]
The icy bluegreen edge of January
January 6, 2010
That’s the Bay these mornings – an icy soup near the shore and a lot of cold, cold waves pushing in from the north. No way I’m walking along the beach with the dogs until things settle down. But there’s plenty to see on the road. For example, yesterday morning we exchanged pleasantries with Dee […]
I am in love with an orange truck and the Cowboy and Miss Sadie are pretty fond of it, too
January 4, 2010
You may recall that I wondered where all our snow was, given the dire predictions of at least ten inches of the stuff late last week. For a time I thought it had been misdirected to the north of England, but in due course it was delivered to Torch Lake Township, just in time to […]
Sun’s up!
December 22, 2009
I slept late and was awakened by a blaze of light. A big ball of fire was peeking over the hill behind the Writing Studio and Bait Shop. Extraordinary. I took a picture of it for you. I had to take it through a window screen, but I’m pretty sure it is the sun. Imagine […]
