Each fall we try to get updated portraits of the children. I stand and click pictures one right after the other until I have over a hundred of them. We chose various places to pose. And they horse around the whole time making jovial fun of themselves and each other to convince all of us… Continue reading School Pictures 2011
October Days In Wisconsin
Firewood Days Pine cone days. Exploring days. School pictures days.
Dawn Till Dark Logging
That would be good name for the logging business. Because it would be quite accurate. So one day this week Frances and I went to the job and presided over the repair of one machine while Brad rode along with Lance in the other machine. Frances and I took a walk too. But mostly we… Continue reading Dawn Till Dark Logging
Back Home Again
We’re coming home to stay. No more packing our projects, clothing and food into the Jeep twice a week. We can stay at home. It’s time for fall work: raking, window washing, and for tucking in flower beds. It’s time for school routines and fall family parties.
Copper Falls 2011 and Other Rambles Through the Woods
Actually this was a purely random shot that I got when I asked them to please face the camera. Nobody was trying to be “cool” at all.

(While I am over here at the house near the job brainstorming about what to beautify at home.) The big pot of… Continue reading Home Keeping In Autumn
As I Was Saying…
Okay, here is what it can be like to be a mom with adult children. I really wasn’t planning to have a case in point for you Amy, when I posted last in comment to your post, but life happens and I think this fits. Frances is hoping to go to Thailand to help her… Continue reading As I Was Saying…
Being a Mom
In reading Amy's thoughts about being a mommy to little ones 24/7 and all that goes with it, I got to thinking about my own stage of life. All my babies are gone and I would be one of those that Amy is referring to as "an older woman". So is my life easier than… Continue reading Being a Mom
Summer is Giving Way to Fall… and Other Ramblings
The green of the leaves and grasses is old and faded. I tend to mourn the passing away of summer even while relishing the arrival of cooler weather. Swimming and sweating are done. There’s school instead. It is time for canning and cleaning away the crop of cobwebs in all the ceiling corners.Speaking of spiders… Continue reading Summer is Giving Way to Fall… and Other Ramblings
