Deep Freeze

The Farmer’s Almanac predicted a lot more of this in the next couple of months. So if you need me, I’ll be sitting by the fire ‘till I see daffodils popping up.

Flashback

My little sister’s having a big birthday. In just a few days she’ll be turning the big three-o; as in thirty. So this is for you Jena. We may not be cuter, but we’re definitely older and a tad-bit wiser. ;) Keep flashing those dimples ‘cause the best is yet to come.

Cross-Country Afternoon

The Baker’s decided to go cross-country, via (our new) skis, on this gray, monochromatic Saturday. It’s a good way to “get the stink blown off you” as my Mother likes to say. ;)

Flashback

We’re going all the way back to 1979. I was two and loved dancing to music on Grandma’s old 45’s. She would braid my hair; lend me her beads, and open a box of animal crackers. It was nice to have a snack between records.


I’m thinking this (Flashback) may be a regular Friday “thing.” We’ll see how it goes, where it goes, or even IF it goes.

Loopy

My Wednesdays are usually spent with my nephew Jacob; who also answers to Henry. Ahem, anyway, on this particular afternoon we decided to whip up a paper-chain. Fifteen feet or so later…

2010

Well, well, well. I’m back from my unintended blogging hiatus. No job, no children, and I still fail to post consistently. That’s how it goes. We’re mid-way through January, but who’s keeping track? Obviously not me.

Snapped this on a walk. Hope you like fungus.

The Back Forty

Lately I seem to be well stocked with photos but short on words to go along with ‘em. Today I’ll just let Mr. Muir fill in for me.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
