Teacher, reader, gad-fly.
Even the beagle is happy for the fall color change.

Gotta share more beauty...take a break. Sunset, Dec.2017 on our lake. Ice is just setting up. Glad I snapped this picture, happy I found it again.

Ready for some "Good Trouble" in our small, Northern MI, town!

Whelp, America is burning under the "Retribution Tour", but as of now, I still have this! Keep fighting good people, for hearth and home!

Presently, the Lake is windblown, but still beautiful...gotta take joy where ya can in this shitty scene.

Kind of a good day reading a book in N. Michigan! Started "Drood" by Dan Simmons after reading "The Terror"...Enjoying it.

Winters have changed in Northern MI. We have been trending more toward mid to southern Ohio in our meteorological temperament. Not this week. Sub zero degrees and a deep ice on the lake..I love the changes.

That's a wrap on 2024, ya'll!

Well, back to my "Happy Place", I have several but this is one of my favorites. Got my book, my sipper,it's warm and the deer are moving...not many things more fun than watching deer...

Just followed your p-cast on Spotify! Look forward to starting ep.1 in my deer blind (preferably during evening hunt)!

Next weekend I'll be here for MI Black Powder Season. Looking forward to another Camp at Foggy Creek!

Yes! The first "Snow-Day" of the school year! Teachers kinda live for them.

Winter in Northern MI. Just a couple of days and all changes. Caught me with my deck furniture not put away...

Kinda hard to pass up on a Tuesday afternoon Blind-sit! School is out for Thanksgiving...

Had a chance to visit one of my favorite neighboring Camps this past Opener Weekend. Boys at Foggy Creek have weathered the year well, all hardy and hale!

Not the typical, late November landscape for Northern, MI. Our winter climate seems to be emulating S. Ohio...pretty evening though.

Not always as surly looking as my profile pic...
