It’s hard to believe what a crazy year we all had. I’m waxing nostalgia on this Covid year because this week last year all of my son’s schools shut down. And now this week, they are opening 5 days a week again. Looking back on the last 12 months, I think at first we were […]
Just a few weeks ago, the garden was lush and manageable and green. And so far, most of the garden is growing well. The beds are starting to burst and it’s only early July. The goods news: the garden is growing and this year so far I’ve been able to harvest a ton of lettuce […]
When the pandemic hit this year, it seemed pretty likely that I wouldn’t be traveling much this summer. The last few years our family trips has been chock full of amazing experiences – The Badlands, Devil’s Tower, Mount Rushmore, Mammoth Cave, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Mojave National Preserve, Nashville, New York City, […]
As we all stay at home, Spring is busy out there continuing to bloom. As comparison from last 2 posts, here are the same plants, pictured 5 days apart (last set photographed April 3rd). Also, I’m adding another tree for me to watch its growth, a Norwegian Maple, because it’s just starting to bloom. Next […]
Before I get into the blooms, I have to say the last week felt verrryyy loooong. I don’t necessarily adapt to a new routine quickly, so having everyone at home now 24/7 left me feeling very unproductive. And it was rainy and gloomy, too, which didn’t really help the situation. It reminds me when summer […]
It is now officially Day 2 of the stay-at-home order and I’ve had to resort to find little gems of inspiration in my own backyard. There isn’t much to look at yet because Spring hasn’t completely sprung, but there were little hints out there to tell us it’s coming soon! I thought I would document […]
As mentioned on my last post, I was using some of the free time at home going through and organizing some of my work over the last year or so and found this roll. Last time I was in New York was in September, 2019, and I hadn’t yet posted any of these photographs here. […]
One thing about the social distancing this week, it definitely gives me a reason to stay home. Organizing the 32,000+ digital photos onto a hard drive was a great start (not done yet). But there was also the film negatives and scans that I needed to do something about. Hmm… Well, as I figure that […]
Winter is back in my corner of the world. I woke up to see snow flurries, blanketing the neighborhood in a soft, small layer of white flakes. These days, when it snows, it tickles me with a bit of nostalgia and I welcome how it quiets things down. But is also reminds me that I […]
