New Year’s Day

Well, today is the start of 2023. A new year. A year of possibilities and dreams. And, to start off this new year, I am hosting a cheese tasting party with wine. Now, it is not that big of a deal as only my Leather house was invited...and it consists of only 5 people including … Continue reading New Year’s Day →

My 2023 New Year Resolutions

1. Health Exercise ~ Hiking/Adventure. I am not going to try to do the 52 Hikes in One Year Challenge again. However, I did enjoy exploring new hiking paths, sometimes taking my camera with me, sometimes not. In 2023, I will plan and execute 2 adventures a month...and will aim to make each at least … Continue reading My 2023 New Year Resolutions →

Further thoughts: NY Resolutions

One of the things I want to do or become or add to my life is more contact with people. Overall, I am not a people person. I am not exactly an introvert, although I claim to be one; rather, I am someone who is content being alone and on my own. Yet, I enjoy … Continue reading Further thoughts: NY Resolutions →

Thoughts about resolution choices

Regarding travel, I can continue to find a dog sitter for Roxie and take weekend or week long trips in the surrounding states. But, what I really want to do is travel overseas. I have a few places in mind: Scotland/Ireland, Australia, Japan, Hawaii, and Alaska. And, I have decided that Scotland will be my … Continue reading Thoughts about resolution choices →

Changes are in the air

Wow! I really have not kept up with my blog, as it has been, at least, a couple of months since I last wrote! As is usual, it is now fall with winter knocking at the door, and changes are in the air. Nature, of course, is preparing for winter and rest. Leaves are turning … Continue reading Changes are in the air →

Inspiration

My recent posts have focused on the stagnant condition of my life. What a way to start a post! (Even if it is true.) I start each day going outside and looking up. Why? Because for me, the inspiration is in the sky...in those sparkling lights that are millions of miles away and from long, … Continue reading Inspiration →

Getting back into it

Well, this past week, I got out there again and did two hikes. The first was an urban hike...Riverwalk in Augusta, GA. It is a paved path that runs along the Savannah River in downtown Augusta. I did this hike on Sunday, and I found it sparsely populated with people. This suited me nicely. It … Continue reading Getting back into it →

Life after failure

It's been awhile since I last posted. This is partly because of life experiences and partly because I have not made many pictures in this span of time. The picture I have chosen to place above is of the sky one evening. The picture was taken on manual mode. It is more expressive than the … Continue reading Life after failure →

Perspective

I am trying to learn a new perspective. When I was camping at Edisto Island, I saw a lot of marshland. This is a new environment to me as I grew up in the foothills of mountains. I heard snapping shrimp when the tide was just right in the marsh. I saw snails hanging onto … Continue reading Perspective →

Hiking and musing

Since my last blog post, I have done five more hikes and attended a festival. That sounds like a lot for someone who seldom goes anywhere. Yet, I am gradually changing that image I have of me as a couch potato. I do sit quite a bit while reading, and I do love reading. Usually … Continue reading Hiking and musing →
