Get
Lost!
Now,
I'm
looking
at
my
2010
theme
and feeling like it's time to "Get Lost!" December
2009
Memories
Cold
morning.
The
steam
is
rising
off the creek, creating ghost-like wisps through the cedars. October
2009
In
The Eddy
I've become
quiet so I can
hear the world turning and get my directions. September
2009
Cut
It Out!
I've learned
that the art
of simplifying has two steps. July 2009
Plows
and Chocolate
It's May in the
North Country
and the plows are out....
Kelly and Emma
have what they
call “Chocolate Moments.” May 2009
Perspective
50 degree
temperatures feel oh so much different in March than they did in
September. March
2009
Tidbits
The gifts of
February in Northern
Michigan come in tiny, tiny packages.

Freefall
This winter thus
far has brought
one very big, delightful surprise, better than any Christmas present I
could have imagined. December 2008

The
Sands of Time
We agreed that
our beach days
will always be a part of us and will forever be most defined by sand. October,
2008
Lawnless
Life
is too short to mow the lawn. September,
2008
Disorderly
Conduct
Just like the
ease with which
summer gives way to fall, when I take a minute to breathe and observe,
I can see that order is already inherent in any chaos. August,
2008
What's
In A Name
As a child, did
you want to
change your name? I did. And a lot of my friends did too. June,
2008
Ice
Out
The few hours it
takes lake
and river ice to disappear is generally unpredictable so I did not
count
on being privy the ritual. But this year I happened to be there just in
time. May, 2008
Time
Out!
Did you make the
shift to
daylight savings with grace and ease? I didn't. March,
2008
The
Best Medicine
But wait! There
are hints
that something is breaking loose. This too-long quite winter is getting
noisy. February, 2008
Wiggle
Room (Revisited)
Last Monday,
when I had reached
my emotional limit and the tears were flowing, I heard myself say
"Uncle!" January,
