Summer Scenes 2023

"To see the summer sky is poetry, though never in a book it lie — true poems flee." – Emily Dickinson

Sunshine, blossoms, and bumblebees — Click here for summer in my garden.

Sailing and socializing at NLYC — Click here for more sailing pictures.

A visit with dear friends in the Northwoods (Presque Isle, Wisconsin)

Up in Michigan: Waterfalls, driftwood, suspension bridges and crystal-clear water.

Searching for agates and heart-shaped rock on the shores of Lake Superior.

I spy Snoopy. #cloudgazing

“Up Home” in Sturgeon Bay • Summer in Door County

My Summer in 3 Words: Beagle, Books, Boats — Click here to see what I’ve been reading.

And so the sun sets on the summer of 2023 — at least for this educator. And before you share the popular “Summer isn’t over until September 22, so sit your pumpkin spiced ass down! I’m not finished with my margarita yet!” meme with me, know that #1 — I am aware of the calendar. It just feel different for students and educators. Summer continues, but the vibe is different; #2 — I hate pumpkin spice; and #3 — This Jimmy Buffett fan enjoys margaritas all year long. Cheers!

Late summer’s focus is on light and texture as spring’s delicate, white blossoms give way to great verdant bunches of hydrangeas, sturdy cone flowers, fragrant roses, ephemeral daylilies, and ethereal catmint.

Deck Remodel

"Summer afternoon— to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." - Henry James

Piper would like to show off our newly remodeled deck. She and I are very proud of Eric’s hard work and innovation. We will be spending a lot of time here this summer!
