“As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.” ― Charles Morgan
After dinner on Sunday, Sam and I took a ride. The snow fence at Charles Mears State Park in Pentwater isn’t coming down anytime soon! Or not without a lot of sand shoveling! Those little dots on the sand along the water line is the top of the snow fence! But it’s snowing today, so [...]
Alex is on spring break this week, so we were able to spend a little more time together. Armed with walking sticks and a gorgeous day, we took a walk through the woods in the Pentwater Plains. It’s amazing to see things through the eyes of a six-year old. It puts a whole new perspective [...]

Colten (2 1/2) and Trinity (3 months) came to visit me the other day. While watching Woody Woodpecker (I found it on Hulu!) and snuggling up on the couch, we had a little photo shoot. This is my absolute favorite picture of Colten. He’s such a grown up little man. You see, he’s a mechanic. [...]
