It’s finally here. No more need to hang onto summer with fingernails. Time to welcome autumn with open arms. She arrived at 4:21 this morning. I’ve been looking forward to her very much, and am delighted to open my heart … Continue reading

Melancholy Monday: Summer’s swan song
There’s something in the air again as summer prepares to take its leave to make way for this year’s autumn. The equinox that heralds the official seasonal transition here in the northern hemisphere will occur the day after tomorrow at … Continue reading

Does your dog ever relax into a seemingly-impossible (or at least -improbable) position? I did a post back in 2012 featuring one of our dogs, Limo, in such a pose, which he adopted with considerable frequency. I named the … Continue reading
Point & Shoot (2): Bent’s Old Fort
The second installment in my new Point & Shoot category is one that I made last November during a road trip from Nebraska to California, as our route took us through La Junta in southwestern Colorado. Our tour book recommended … Continue reading

We were back up at our cabin for the past three days and returned yesterday. On the way down we kept a close watch on a row of serious thunderstorms moving through northern Iowa, directly across our intended path. When … Continue reading
Flashback Friday: Moeraki marvels
For today’s flashback, let me take us back a bit over 12 years ago, to the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island and a truly magic place, the like of which I’ve never seen anywhere else. There are many … Continue reading
