All sunsets are beautiful, some more than others…this one was stunning. The bare tree, against the purples and peaches of the evening sky held me for a time in wonder at God’s creative splendor – even with the very cold November breezes…

First Snow…
I can’t remember a first snow this early in November, usually a beautiful light snow happens on Thanksgiving… But this year, in Michigan, that lovely light snow began falling yesterday. I always enjoy the first snow, it energizes me and lifts up my countenance. It always feels like a fresh start, a renewing and the air never smells so clean as it does after a snow. I bundled up in my new coat and pink knit hat for a walk around the park and it was refreshing. Back home, I tucked into some homemade veggie soup (so easy to make) and felt like a kid again, home after walking from school.
In winter
all the singing is in
the tops of the trees..

Art Fair Days
Spent the afternoon at a local art fair. It was such an enjoyable day hanging out with interesting characters like this guy. Incredibly, he seemed to have no problem juggling, even at such heights. And then…
Hula Girls
This little girl was transfixed by this lovely lady, who had a talent for all things Hula. When I was this little one’s age, I loved my hula hoop and not just because it was my favorite color, pink. I got pretty good at it myself and I loved seeing the way she was studying the older girls moves. Then it was on to…
Corn Dog Palace…
I dubbed it thus as a play on the Corn Palace out west. This food truck was everything you could want in a summertime fair experience. Hot dogs, burgers and cool pop…what else do you want? Actually, they had so many food truck options, wraps, ice cream, lemonade and even authentic Polish food this time out. It was a beautiful, albeit quite hot, summertime day and everyone seemed to have great fun!
Blossoms of Spring
Spring hath officially sprung folks! Look what God can do! I love these beautiful dalia’s. We’re enjoying an unseasonably warm spring here in Michigan and all the beautiful blossoms that come with it. I’ve just started getting the garden in shape and I will post more once I get to planting. Hope you’re enjoying good weather, wherever you are in the world.
