A two-day storm in April hits the Upper Peninsula on April 20 and 21st, 2009. I’ve had to work the day-job so shots have been taking while travelling, and honest, I was as safe as I could be. I pulled over for this shot.
Can you believe that tomorrow is Earth Day? I can’t believe I [...]

February Blues On The 1st, Near Thills
Posted in Bright Sun, Lake Superior, Weather, Winter Confines on February 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I woke with a start at a glimpse of blue sky but by the time Mike and I rolled from bed the clouds had darkened the sky and the wind gusts had triggered warnings for up to 50 mph (Intellicast). You can see the dramatic changes taking place near Thill’s Fish House in Marquette’s Lower [...]

I spent today as a youthful 45-years-old. I went snow tubing, snow shoeing, went home and made grill cheese and Campbell’s Vegetarian Vegetable soup. I had energy and smiled. Mike took these photos and I will have more to follow later tonight and tomorrow on both blogs. I have a baby chocolate cake to go [...]

How odd for it to be 41 and melting, and I mean a serious thaw! The iced-luminaries that my daughter Ceiri made for Christmas Night have melted. So bright in all the wet the little beads looking like they spun right outta the ice. Lovely!
Mike took the chance to clear the drive of any wet [...]

Sunday mornings often means working and early departures into snow storms. I make sure to clear car fully of snow, especially headlights. I have the usual emergency items in trunk. Today travel was 30-35 miles per hour on the highway–I hardly saw a car this morning. On the way home, I saw several 4-wheel drive [...]

I spent my morning listening to sleet and snow pelt the skylight while reading about the adventures of an online friend in Panama. Next to me sits a list of goals and wishes that I want to bring forth in the coming year. And I remind myself the one thing I have no control over [...]
Driving Home

Driving home last night mean curving round Teal Lake in the dark. The road was wet under the snow, I felt I was hydroplaning even though I was driving on snow pack with ruts. The day started with me leaving Marquette at 7:15 a.m. and heading to Aspen Ridge to substitute teach. Looking at the [...]
Winter has arrived…

You can hope that winter will hold off, because in the Upper Peninsula you know just how long winter can last. Friday, I found myself singing Christmas Carols while wandering Target. And it is easy to be excited at the first few snow flakes when you think of a White Christmas. But my yard is [...]
