The Moseltalbahn and the Rheingaulinie

I lived in Germany for 7 years, and was thrilled when my aunt and uncle took me to revisit the lovely Rheingau. We strolled by the river in Eltville and then visited a lovely garden at The Burg of Eltville, built in 1329. Roses were still in bloom. We passed a lovely wine press. I […]

Garden Center Fun

I spent the last few days of August making some dragonflies for Platt-A-Palooza. It was a glorious Saturday when we set up at Platt Hill Nursery. Flowers greeted me as I unloaded the car. The amount of space is always amazing, and I had fun setting up my booth. Foot traffic was great, so I had […]

Discovering River Trail Nature Center

On Saturday I discovered the River Trail Nature Center. I needed a nature getaway between errands in various burbs, and this was a mid-way point. It was love at first sight. Upon entering the parking lot, you can see various large cages. After I parked and went up close, these turned out to have various animals for […]

Summer strolls

August is my birthday month, and I am taking a breather from exhibits. I am also making it a point to walk around the block more, and it is fun to give Angel things to do. A group of friends went to see Ghostbusters. We picked up a Pixie Mood purse at Stumble & Relish […]

Exploring Volo Bog

Over the Holiday Weekend I felt the need to take a hike. I decided to revisit Volo Bog State Natural Area, where I had been a few times almost a decade ago. I was pleased to see the preserve was still as nice as I remembered, and that it was quiet in spite of the […]

Summer

Summer has begun and I wish I could go on vacation. Instead I am sneaking lake time away from the computer when I can. I uninstalled the DOT Show and am pleased my circles held up well. I even got to take home 2 of Carol Hamilton’s dots. Along the way I got to watch […]

Hello, Lake!

It’s still wire bending time in the studio, but I did have a chance to stroll by the lake during two balmy weekends. Yesterday’s snow flurries remind us it is still winter, but for a moment Spring was real! At least the queen’s crown is melting off. Within a week the tree  trimmers came by. […]

Winterscape

It got frosty again last weekend. In spite of the freeze, the skies are gorgeous. Old snow got shoveled and turned into its own sculpture. Hibernating included having lovely icescapes on the windows. It’s neat to see what the combination of heaters and ice create. My original angel perused the winter wonderland. Another load of […]

Frosty beginnings

The new year is off to a frosty start with the ice queen paying a visit again. Her crown is a bit different this year, but still gorgeous. I watched Frozen for the first time over Christmas, and then read the orginal Snow Queen fairy tale. In the real world we are facing crunchy ice-capades […]
