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”

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”
Happenstance
Coincidence, kismet, a chance happy mistake. Call it what you will, a wrong turn either by accident or because you allow yourself the freedom to let go, can bring you to a place previously unknown to you. I believe we are all where we are supposed to be at any given time, but that weContinue reading “Happenstance”
Wolf Moon in Panther Park
I must be honest. I did not get to see the wolf moon from Panther Park in person. I looked at it with the memories of the late afternoon visit last November. I used the emotions I remember from being there and a photo image of the moon from this morning outside my bedroom windowContinue reading “Wolf Moon in Panther Park”
Seeds of Change
I became a first time home owner about this time last year. It was one of the most exciting times of my life. But then when the world stood still, it was one of the most terrifying. My life was thrown into a whirlwind of change. There were times when it felt overwhelming and otherContinue reading “Seeds of Change”
Cold Days for Arts Sake
I am an advocate for hiking any time of day, but I think that morning is the best time to hike or walk anywhere. The air feels cleaner in the morning, as if the movement of awakening life forces stirs up the air molecules and makes them less pure. Today is a cold day outside.Continue reading “Cold Days for Arts Sake”
