Today, with storms threatening and the necessity of analyzing some logistic regression results lurking over my head, I went out for a short walk just to check on things at my lake. It is rather quiet there at the moment... the spring flowers are gone and the summer flowers haven't made their appearance yet. It has rained for several days and I was ( Read more... )

There has been so little time to get out and spend time at my lake...

Fall isn't quite here yet, even with the colder nights... the trees are holding onto summer as long as they possibly can. I don't know why I'm so hungry for the colors and sounds of fall this year, because fall means winter and winter's lockdown on the Great Lakes is relentless and harsh, but I am desperately craving the flares of orange and red ( Read more... )
