Eye of the Bee-holder

It was the color and beauty of the flowers that caught my eye; then I noticed the bee which was admiring the same flowers but perhaps for a different reason. #flowers #bee #eye #colors #beauty

At least 10 children from two different families grew up in this midwestern log house in times past near Galena, Illinois. Though simple and humble, it was home and provided what was needed for survival: shelter from wind, rain, and cold. Built before electricity and power tools existed, ax marks on its rough hewn logsContinue reading “Be It Ever So Humble”

Afterglow

After a recent, refreshing rain, the setting sun turned the sky into a glowing gold more precious than any metal that can bought or sold. #rain #sunset #gold #glow

Blooms and Rain

Distant, autumn-blooming trees were glorified by the background gloom of an approaching storm. A short time later it began to rain. Both the blossoms and the rain were gratefully welcomed. They were more examples of the many things seen every day that make me say, “Oh, wow!” #blooms #autumn #rain #storm #wow

Jigsaw Puzzle, Anyone?

We got to sample some fresh berries straight from the plant in plots that had not yet been flooded; they tasted like tart, sour apples, and I couldn’t resist consuming a fewContinue reading “Jigsaw Puzzle, Anyone?”

Thirteen Lucky Days

We just got back from Costco with, among other things, four bags of candy. Yes, we do get that many trick-or-treaters, and we have a great time at the end of our driveway passing the goodies to the little hobgoblins. Thirteen more days to go. Great fun, good times, lucky us! #halloween #costco #hobgoblins #trickortreatContinue reading “Thirteen Lucky Days”

Day Owl

A rarely seen feathered friend greeted us during a recent morning walk. While we frequently hear the owls, sometimes a year or more will pass between sightings. I wondered why this one was up so “late” since nighttime is their active time. Perhaps it was just one of those “day owls” who like staying upContinue reading “Day Owl”

Sunrise Wreath

The sun continues to flash surprise scenes as it rises through the front windows. On this morning, it momentarily encircled the dining area with a glowing garland of light, much to my delight. #morning #sunrise #garland #wreath

But First, I’ll Have the Brownies

Then I’ll eat the cupcakes! #brownies #cupcakes #diet #chocolate

Hoofin’ It

Vehicles like the one above are frequently seen in southern Wisconsin, driven by the Amish living life as they choose. I was left in wonder, that with all the pressures of the modern world, they continue to live comfortably within their own traditions. #amish #wisconsin #carriage #horsedrawn
