Not-Quite-Country Girl

No trip to my sister Maria's place in Florida is complete without a trip to one of the many springs in her area.

Here's your trivia tidbit for today:  What are lepidopterans?

Even in the subzero deep freeze we've been living in the past couple of days, there is beauty to be found.

It's COLD this morning!!!

Everyone in the Midwest has the same tale to tell...Saturday brought a major winter storm, ushered in by a huge cold front that held us captive in a deep freeze over the weekend.

Saturday was a perfect January day in Hoosierland...a snow globe day!

While I love many things about Indiana winters, I don't enjoy the often-long strings of gray, dreary, gloomy, cloudy days.

I don't do Black Friday.  In general, I don't do any more shopping than absolutely necessary.

The week before Thanksgiving (yes, I'm a bit behind...) we awoke inside our cozy cabin to an ice-covered world on the other side of our windows.

Driving the back roads to my house last Friday, I came upon a group of 4 sandhill cranes in a rain-soaked soybean field.
