I’m not exactly sure which season I like best, but right at the moment, fall is my favorite. People come to the peninsula in October to observe the autumn colors. I have been driving around with my camera for the last week or so in case there’s something I want to shoot, and I’ve been glad to have my camera along many times. Continue reading
I have been thinking this week about life in the country. I was behind a huge tractor on the back roads I often take home, and he took nearly the whole road. At some point along the road, another large tractor approached us in the opposite direction. You should have seen the two of them trying to pass each other! Continue reading
I was talking with my mother on the phone this morning and told her I had gotten some pictures of a storm we had here last week. She said she would like me to post them on my blog so she could see them. I also took a few pictures last night when Mark and I had a bonfire in our back yard with some more of the tree limbs and things we’ve been trying to get rid of this summer. Continue reading
At the beginning of this week, our weather turned decidedly autumnal. One night, we had a rip-roaring thunder storm and a deluge to go with it.

I have known for a while that there is a snow mobile trail in the woods behind Lynn’s and Karen’s house, but I had never ventured far enough onto their property to find it. Yesterday, Lynn and her dog, Sasha, took Tucson and me for a walk there and I discovered that the trail led to the field behind the fire station where I work. This morning, I decided to walk to work.

It has been so cold in the house that generally I sit in front of the fireplace in my winter coat and stoke the fire all day. It was every bit as cold in the house this morning, but there was a warm breeze outside. I opened all the windows and doors to let the heat in, and then I went outside to work in the yard.
