After 2 1/2 years of being too busy to get around to sewing these curtains, I decided that they absolutely positively have to be finished before the end of the year, no exceptions! I have now finished four of the six panels--added some long ties at the top and hemmed the bottom. Only two more panels to go!

Yellowstone National Park

There were quite impressive clouds just before sunset in the area of the Grand Prismatic Spring. If only it stayed light, there would be hours of fun finding shapes and images in the clouds....

Grand Teton National Park

There's probably no "wrong time of year" to visit the Grand Tetons, but fall certainly made a dramatic statement.

Autumn Leaves

It seems to be a good year for fall colors in Wisconsin. The tree that produced these leaves was showing off its ability to be clothed in a multi-colored autumnal display!

Late summer bike ride

This was a morning when it was definitely worth it to stop, get off the bike path, and sit with the squirrels for a few moments. The squirrels were pretty busy this morning straightening up their creekside home, so I think I enjoyed it more than them.

Signaling Summer's End

Chalk filter applied to sunflower photo

My husband and I were struggling to remember the term "heliotropic" (or "tracking the sun") the other day when we looked at a grouping of sunflowers. We decided it is much more important just to remember that sunflowers follow their heart.
