How Are You Doing Today?

Dear Readers, I asked a woman I help, (I'll call her Lettie), "Lettie, how are you doing today?" She replied, "Well, I just asked Lettie, and she hasn't decided yet." I had to laugh at that! Then I got to thinking about her answer, and realized maybe I had more of a choice on how … Continue reading How Are You Doing Today? →

There’s Always Something

Dear Readers, I love Fall in Minnesota. The cooler weather makes it easier to hike, fall colors are beautiful, and the produce and fall flowers add extra spice. (No, I do not get pumpkin spice coffee! LOL) We had a cool overnight bike trip planned. We had new windows in our porch, and we were … Continue reading There’s Always Something →

All That I Have

On Our Walks, Photos by Mr. and Mrs. UT Dear Readers, The light is changing here, and we have less daylight now. It's very noticeable to me, and can sometimes lead me to feeling a bit more reflective, and at times blue.

Generosity

Dear Readers, Mr. UT and I are now fully vaccinated, and I am slowly making my way back into the world. I actually met a real life fully vaccinated friend for coffee, and it was just delightful.

Green is a Color, Too!

The Weeds Call to Me Dear Readers, When Mr. UT and I plan our walks or hikes in fall, I think about where we might find the best color. Sometimes we get lucky, but other times, there aren't a lot of the fall colors I love. There might be a splash of color in one … Continue reading Green is a Color, Too! →

Escaping to My Music Part Two

Dear Readers, Mt. UT and I were lucky to escape to the what we call the North Shore of Minnesota, on Lake Superior. (Read Part One Here.) We've been here before, during each of the four seasons, but I think fall is my favorite. I can't seem to find words that haven't already been used … Continue reading Escaping to My Music Part Two →

Staying Optimistic

On Our Walk at the Minnesota Landscape Aboretum Dear Readers, A hawk came to rest on our fence post, and tried to catch a hosta-eating bunny. He failed this time, although, I wish he had prevailed, but one thing I know is, he will keep trying. I know I need to keep trying to keep … Continue reading Staying Optimistic →
