Slice of Life Tuesday: The Balm of the Trempealeau Wildlife Refuge Prairie Trail
After dinner, last night, my 25-year-old son and I decided to take a hike today. Ordinarily, he would not be home and available to do such a thing, but in times of COVID, one must improvise. I felt the hike would do us both some good and suggested the Prairie’s Edge Loop Trail at the…
Life Lessons from Gardening
It may or may not be true, but I suspect I am partial to one side of my front garden bed. Weeding usually starts on one side, my photographs are taken from one side, and I seem to appreciate one side more than the other. Today, whilst I weeded, I happened to look up when…

Pride & Sharing our Bounty For the second weekend in a row, we are at our cabin with guests! It’s been a long time coming to reach this point, but I am glad we arrived! Our property is unique. We have two acres on a lake in Northern Wisconsin. It is three hours from…
Poetry Friday: Witches Claw & Pink Sunsets
Too Early for Halloween This morning I woke to find a scraggly witch’s claw on my window screen. Gnarled and knobby, she was pointing and waving to something unseen. I closed my eyes for this sight I did not want to see, for I really hoped when I opened them again, she’ll have vanished and…
