I was delighted when the morning greeted me with beautiful blue skies and newly fallen snow. I’d rather be hiking in it than sitting in this morning meeting.

Greg! What is best in life?

To snuggle your kitties - see them sleeping before you, and hear the purring through their snores.

I was hanging Christmas lights to add some color to our dark evenings and the sky absolutely showed me up. Those colors aren’t boosted, they were that saturated in real life. I couldn’t help but repeatedly stop working to stare in awe.

The cat will now live in her heated bed until spring and just like that, it’s treadmill season for me.

In the cold of winter,
with tree limbs now bare,
along the dark road,
stands a beast who stares.

A star in his paw
for a tree made of light,
he waves as you pass,
turn home, don’t turn right.

When things feel bleak, remember to look out for all the small, good things that are still happening out there.

One of my favorite stop lights to get stuck at is because of this view.

We were greeted with a beautiful sunrise right after exiting our voting place. Hoping that today, Americans rejecting hate and fear will turn out.

The kid captured the fireworks-like sunset that followed us all the way through Detroit towards home while we listened to Björk and talked about art.

Let the live woods wholly bloom like flames; strike the match; let their leaves flare with an autumn cry.

Fun antique store discovery. I don’t think many kids were watching tv dramas about neurosurgeons in the 1960’s but that didn’t stop Transogram from releasing this toy kit. Love the faux alligator leather.

We are fortunate to have one of the oldest, and therefore largest, trees in our tiny development. I appreciate the hell out of it and take daily breaks to stand under its welcoming branches, enjoying the colors. I love this tree.
