It is Fall! I love the beautiful jewel tones of the season. Summer is still holding on here and there. We had a few chilly days that got the radiators going. But now we have warmer weather to where strolls in the park are enjoyable again. Soon there will be piles to toss around. The […]

I am not feeling well today so there are no coherent words to write. Instead, I give you some nature photos from recent walks. You can find lots of beauty in your neighborhood. This sign at the Bristol Renaissance Faire made me chuckle (and a lavender bath is on the schedule). I love this flaming […]
I have a few blog posts in my head, but sitting down to write them is a challenge these days. I am drawn outside on the warmer days and thrilled to spot the butterflies fluttering about. I’ve explored a variety of events and enjoyed taking in all the inspiration and creativity. Business projects keep me […]
Life is blooming here with trees awakening and birds beginning to nest. Blossoms abound in wide arrays of color. Tulips are the most dominant beauties this month. Sunshine and warmth brings so much joy. The amazing colorations of these flowers are fascinating. Even showers cannot dampen my spirit with all the color and fragrance. My […]
Could it be? Did Winter finally get the memo to make way for Spring? I saw buds pop up last week only to be covered by snow. But now the majority of ice blobs have melted, and these sprouts just might have a chance! There are still remnants of ice. This was February 22. And […]

Embracing opportunities instead of shying away from them 3. Seeing myself through other people’s eyes and liking their reflection of me 4. Being encouraged to challenge myself and enjoying the […]
Tomorrow is Halloween, but this year I am more in Samhain mode. I don’t know of any costume parties to go to, though the coming weekend is packed. So here are some photos of the glorious Fall colors we’re having this month. I love the brilliance of the golds and reds. The ‘stoplight’ trees are […]
Yesterday I picked up my Kedzie’s Red Admirals diptych from the Ecology Center as one part of the Adult Show & Tell Show closes. It was fun to peruse the lovely art work by other Evanstonians earlier this month. It is always inspiring to see artists interpret nature themes and be inspired by them. Nature […]
