It's About Time


Not just "it's about time I posted," but "it's about time passing so quickly and there not being enough hours in the day!"

When I looked at the date of the last time I posted I was amazed. August was full of health issues, September was frantic getting back on pace with my teaching schedule, October just howled past... and now it's November. November. So it's time to give thanks.

We were able to get away for a week last month, enjoying time in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and rediscovering the peace and serenity which come from being outside in the woods, and by the water. It was also our anniversary so it was time to reconnect with ourselves. Lovely:)
.
Time was also spent with friends who enjoy photography and the out-of-doors as much as we do. A good time was had by all.


As I try to get on top of my life I would also like to thank all of you for stopping by and checking in, even if I didn't have up-to-date posts.


Times are changing, however, and you can expect to hear from me much more regularly. There are actually some projects in the works which are exciting to us and I'm anxious to share these new ventures as plans unfold.

The photos here are from our October trip. Looking out the window I see colors are fading and winds are picking up. The advent of winter is not always embraced in our household, but the holiday times help keep spirits up:).


Looking forward to "seeing" you soon.

Enjoy!

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr

Macro Monday + One

With a little help from my friend (+1=not macro, though taken with my macro lens) Things I Love About Summer (in no particular order, though I see food appears higher on the list than does exercise.) Picnics Fresh fruit Fresh vegetables Celebrations Fireworks Family reunions Quiet, country mornings Showy meadows Gentle rains Thunder storms Family gatherings Children's laughter at dusk The sound of dogs barking Windows open Gently blowing curtains Big puffy clouds Being warm Sandals The smell of fresh cut grass The sound of lawn mowers Sitting on the porch reading Time The colors Flowers GREEN Leaves on the trees Adventures Photo ops Waves on the beach Ice cream Long walks Riding bikes Having church outside at the pavilion Camping Boating Fairs Sunrise and Sunsets The Great Lakes I'm sure this isn't the entire list, but it's a good start. It could also become a "things I'm grateful for" list, as well. We need to take time periodically to reflect on all t

Restoration in the Works!

  The Ammi Wright House.  Built 1888.         Our town has some pretty remarkable older homes and businesses.  Many have already been restored and are residences and/or businesses.   We went to a meeting the other night which focused on how to go about restoring a beautiful old lumber Barron's home - the Ammi Wright house, just off the main street. It has been empty for a great many years and needs a lot of work to bring it back to life.  But this group of people can do it.   The building itself is already purchased as part of an agreement with the Gratiot Area Historical Society.  Located in a nearby town, they have purchased it and Alma will be part of this system.  We are now forming committees for all the areas which need to be addressed, including historical research, fundraising, publicity, etc.  Lots of work, and lots of interest.  There is a steering committee in place, and we all signed up for an area we feel comfortable helping with.  Mine is research, which is no surpris
