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? →

For the Beauty

Dear Readers, I took Collette's advice and bought "The Book of Joy", by the Dalai Lama, and Desmond Tutu. Even reading just a few pages or a chapter each morning lifts my spirits, and sets up my day. November nature photos can be harder to take when the skies are so grey. The low level … Continue reading For the Beauty →

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 →

The sky touched me today, Showing off eagles playing in the wind, Brushing my face with blue and white. I am so very grateful we can get outside and hike or walk. On Day 2051, Wendy

On Our Walk By the Minnesota River Valley Dear Readers, Mr. UT is helping me stay … Continue reading These Times →

A Wendy Walks Post

Lake Harriett, Minneapolis, Minnesota The frozen lake was showing off its coldness today, With just a bit of that beauty of sun, To keep us walking along the path, Looking for our photo treasures of these moments.
