Saturday chores finished, it was time to take a little break, so Bob snapped the leash on Gulliver and we all went to the park to see what was happening along the river. Except for several wedding parties taking pictures, there wasn't much going on, but, with or without much action, it was a beautiful day for a …
Saturday is spelled e-r-r-a-n-d-s!
The thought of Saturday errands probably has a familiar ring to anyone who works from 9-5 or even longer on Monday through Friday. That's not the case for me because I retired from the work-a-day world many years ago; however, habits die hard, and it seems like Bob and I often find ourselves out and about running errands …
Do you see it?
Do you see the end of summer when you look at the pictures I captured in Holden Arboretum yesterday? The autumnal hues of the vegetation, blooming goldenrod, and drooping rudbeckias are clear-cut clues that summer will soon be a thing of the past. And to tell the truth, I don't mind because it is ushering in my favorite …
To post or not to post?
...That was the question I asked myself when I sat down to write a post about today's trail walk in the Holden Arboretum and discovered that I wasn't able to upload my pictures or type anything on the screen other than a title. There was no bar under that title where I could import my pictures or …
Holden Arboretum
Friday was a beautiful, sunshiny day...a perfect day to visit Holden Arboretum, so I called my neighbor Marti and asked if she was ready to climb the Emergent Tower. She didn't take any persuading, so off we went, and our first stop was the Tower with its wonderful view of Lake Erie. It's a rare …
Lake Erie Bluffs
Built high on the bluff, overlooking Lake Erie, the new observation tower at Lake Erie Bluffs is drawing large crowds. Knowing that the tower will be crowded on weekends, Bob, Gulliver, and I chose to visit on Thursday morning. It could not have been a more beautiful day. Blue skies and cool temperatures made perfect …
Maria’s Field of Hope
The Prayers from Maria Foundation first planted the Sunflower field in 2014 to gracefully draw attention to the lack of funding for childhood cancer. The field was inspired by the memory and spirit of Maria McNamara, planted as a way to love and honor the courageous children who are battling cancer and those we have …
Waiting impatiently!
Hello friends. I have been taking a brief blog break to learn more about Photoshop and Lightroom, (and hopefully improving my photography) , as well as spending more time with my family, and occasionally dusting the furniture. I'm not quite back in full form yet, but hope to be soon. If you are still hanging out along the trail with …
Cleveland: Westside Market
A family dinner planned for Monday evening was our incentive for visiting the Westside Market. Located in the Ohio City neighborhood, just a few miles from downtown, it is easy to reach and draws visitors from all over Cleveland, both east and west of the Cuyahoga River. Recognizable from a distance by the tower pictured above, …
Almost the end of summer
Last week, when our oldest daughter and son-in-law flew in from Phoenix for a short visit, climbing the Emergent Tower at Holden Arboretum was included on the list of "things to do and places to visit." Monday was a beautiful day, so off we went to Holden and had a great time. After we all …
