Posted in Ordinary Grey Day, tagged daughters, fitness, freezing rain, grandsons, running, sleet, St Patrick's day Storm, Winter in the Upper Peninsula Marquette's YMCA on February 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Today I woke early and had a single packet of oatmeal and only 1/2 a cup of coffee as I rearranged my schedule a wee bit to go on a run! I picked up my daughter and headed to the YMCA shortly before the weather arrived. We each ran a mile on the treadmill.
I have [...]

I spent most of February chasing blue ice and here we find green. Located just off the bike path in the Founder’s Landing area. I often walk here in the warmer months. I rarely walk here in the winter.
Here I am taking a pseudo aerial shot. I am standing above the recreation building that houses [...]

You can be featured here at A Winter Journal!
The question is what became your favorite piece of winter gear or clothing. Write to kimnixonis@gmail.com and you can attach a photo (as long as you have the permissions and rights to do so). As I strove to be more active, more warm, and not the immovable winter [...]
Winter Fishing in Marquette
Posted in Community, Ice, Lake Superior, Winter Destinations, tagged Ice Fishing with Boats, Lake Superior, Mike Hainstock, Presque Isle, Winter Fishing, Winter Photography on February 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Day two of ice shots near Presque Isle. The fisherman pull out to the ice with trucks and put-in their boats. On shore ice plates pile up in pretty slabs of 5-7 inch thick ice. Mike and I were first out on Valentine’s Day and headed out again today. I was more enthralled with the [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day

This morning is blue-grey as I wait for the sun to rise. The brightest splash of color in the backyard is the stained wood on the birdfeeders. It feels cold after the relatively warm temps of February’s Thaw. The return to winter always seems cruel but I know it will snow for at least two [...]
The Flu of Heightened Senses
Posted in Avoidance, Emotion, Winter Confines, tagged February Thaw, flu, flu sympoms, Mid-Winter Thaw on February 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
With The Thaw came The Flu for my family members. They have all the usual symptoms. Me? I have “the flu of heightened senses” and the world’s worst headache.
When Mike went outside to retrieve the mail in came the ODOR of stinky wood smoke! Just what is the neighbor burning anyway? The wet STINKY doggies [...]
The February Thaw
Posted in Emotion on February 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It has to be 41 (degrees Fahrenheit) outside! I ventured out for soup makings. Mike has the flu and I am not far behind him. I have been fighting this off for a week. But in my line of work you come up against virals and nasty bugs on a regular basis. But when clinics [...]
Damp ‘n Under the Weather
Posted in Emotion, Short Whispers, tagged Winter Whispers on February 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I remember when a day came along that was damp, snows thawing, and I was under-the-weather, a pot of homemade soup and a cozy blanket was enough. There might have been a stack of books, a journal, and re-runs of Star War movies playing on the tube.
But I am driven today and I was up [...]
