Hoot's Holler Front Row Seating

One of my favorite down time spaces.

In the morning, after work and during yard chores this is a comfortable place to sit.

My front porch!

If You Guess Alaska In May, You're Wrong!!

Where in the heck are we on this 4th day of May?

If you've guessed Alaska, you are incorrect!

Infinite view of an ice field.

On Lake Michigan.

Christmas Cove to be exact!
 I'd say the name fits the bill, but it is, truly, May 4th, 2014.

So tempting to stick my hand in the water to pick up stones.

Did you see that fish?

So I stuck my hand in! 

I guess I will wait to gather rocks another time.

It did not feel cold with the sun reflected off the ice!!


The clouds moved in and I moved on. It's cold now!

The sun reflecting off the ice was so amazing. It felt as if I were standing in the center of a crystal.

Thank you, Mother Nature, for another one of your spectacular displays.
