I am writing from my studio looking out the window to my back yard affording too, a slice of my neighbors yard. It seems as though I can see the time lapse of the trees leaves unfurl, but I know that is an exaggeration. The many hosts on the other hand, do seem to expandContinue reading “Montage”

Into The Lion’s Den
Only 30 minutes north of Milwaukee and a short bike ride east of Grafton, Wisconsin, set atop a 100 foot bluff, exists a paradise of photo opportunities and plein air painting. Lion’s den Gorge county park holds 1.5 miles of gravel and boarded hiking trails running throughout the park. Parts of the trails are handicapContinue reading “Into The Lion’s Den”
Spring Right of Way
The season of spring in Wisconsin is welcomed by all even though it means that we may only have 2 sunny and warm days out of 7. It slowly brings back the colors we miss so greatly over the winter months. The average human eye can register about 1 million colors, none more than huesContinue reading “Spring Right of Way”
At Lynden
For years I’d driven past the property at 2145 Brown Deer Road thinking it was the home of an artist. There were no signs, only an eight to 10 foot wooden fence with colorful sculptures peeking out over the top. In the past few years I’ve learned of The Lynden Sculpture Garden but it wasn’tContinue reading “At Lynden”
One Walk
On days when I don’t have time to find a long wood to hike, I just step out of my door and see what I can find. I almost always come across one or many things worth the telling of a story. When I moved into this neighborhood the woman living next door took meContinue reading “One Walk”
The Beach at Harrington
The first time I went to Harrington State Park was in the late 1990’s. I’d been on the way to Terry Andrae Park when I saw the sign for Harrington Beach and took a B-line to see what it was all about. Unfortunately I mistook the entrance for a different road and drove to theContinue reading “The Beach at Harrington”
Beach Days
Have you ever had one of those days when you feel that life is overwhelming and you simply need a quiet open space? I’ve had more than my share in the last couple of years and even a short time away from “it all” is the best plan. I leave my lists on the tableContinue reading “Beach Days”
The Root of Irish Eyes
One Hundred and thirty four years ago two 14 or 15 year old girls got on a ship in Ireland and sailed to America. They found their way to Racine, Wisconsin where they may, or may not have, had relatives waiting for their arrival. They were brave souls. At the time of the girls immigration,Continue reading “The Root of Irish Eyes”
Big Changes AKA: Spring!
I am a lover of seasonal changes. I’ve never felt the pull to live in places where the change of seasons are slight and barely noticeable. I do get a bit worn out of the cold and snow in winter and admittedly have done my share of complaining in March when winter hangs around longerContinue reading “Big Changes AKA: Spring!”
Cleaning Out The Dirt
March is meditation month. I’ve also heard that May is also meditation month. Knowing how much better life is with a daily meditation practice, I don’t think 2 months are a problem. Although, it would be better to break the year up in two to remind us of meditations great importance. I have learned muchContinue reading “Cleaning Out The Dirt”
