What is Silent Sunday? It is a regular post (since May 2017) on my blog that consists only of my photography based on a theme of my choice. This spring, I am featuring travel by using the alphabet to narrow my choices. Usually, there is no text except for the captions. Thanks for stopping by!
Poetry Friday: Keeping it Short (kind of)
I’m keeping things short this week, since I’m lacking motivation and optimism. Part of my problem, I think, is that I’ve elected to read some pretty heavy stuff lately. I bought a poetry book called Milk and Honey (2015) in the bookstore on St. Thomas. It attracted me for the simplicity of the cover, the…
Silent Sunday: Dublin Days

Silent Sunday: January’s Starting the Alphabet With Acadia

While these photos are captioned, there is no other text; just beautiful scenes to look at. I decided to bring Silent Sunday back because I miss posting my photos, and it was…
Poetry Friday: Contrasts & Color!
This week, I am highlighting contrasts. As I sit at my desk, it is -26 degrees F. The real feel temperature is -35. We are experiencing extreme cold in Northern Wisconsin while much of the country braces for ice, wind, and snow. Our heaters are running full blast, and our pellet stove is on high….
On Poetry Friday: Cats, Clutter, and Reduce
This week, I am keeping things short. I’ve had a busy week catching up. The Christmas decor is down. I’ve had some jewelry to produce for the gallery that carries my pieces locally, and we are getting ready to get some Caribbean warmth. In addition, I decided officially make REDUCE my OLW for 2026. I’ve…
