Here’s what we were up to in January:
July 2021
Here’s what happened in July: more pool parties, fireworks, my Mom’s memorial service and celebration of her life, and of course, more yard work.
June 2021
June was a busy month in our first summer with a pool, featuring lots of pool parties, yard work, and my Mom’s first visit to our new house.
On Luck and Loss – Goodbye Mom
My mom died on Saturday, following my Dad in 2016 and my brother Doug in 2018.
Well, shit.
Okay, that’s out my of system now (fair warning: it’s probably not).
May 2021
Yard work, first time in the pool, and other fun happenings from May:

Jan – Apr 2021
A quiet first winter in our new house led into a spring with tons of yard work.
The Rest of 2020
Like most of 2020, we didn’t do a whole lot August – December, but here are some pictures of the things we did do:
The Quiet Joys of Fresh Snowfall
We’ve gotten a lot of snow recently and I’ve enjoyed the opportunities each new blanket provides to make pictures of small things.
Here are some pictures from recent explorations at Riley Trails.
More Lighthouse Sunset Pictures
This time, the sky co-operated on a very cold evening. 12 degrees and there was a guy paddle boarding on Lake Michigan which was cool to see. Too many good sunset pictures to pick just a few!
Recent Explorations
Earlier this week I spent a bit of time wandering at Van Raalte Farm after nearly two feet of snowfall over the past week or so. I also went to Holland State Park hopeful for a glimpse of sunset (there was none), but it was snowing sideways so I settled for some icy-railing-lighthouse pictures across the channel.
