Happy Thursday! Aren’t we having a glorious June? It’s been so nice to have actual summer weather this year! I’ve noticed something recently about the passage of time. When time is spent in a specific routine that is generally the same from day to day, it’s much harder to remember. Do you remember the shower … Continue reading What’s the Best Letter to Have in Summer…..Iced T!
Drrrrenched in Scent!
Good Morning & Happy Thursday! This last week I saw an app for observing the 72 seasons from ancient Japanese lore. (They come up with the most random things to make apps for). It was about noticing how time goes past not in the handy dandy four seasons but really changes about every 3-5 days. … Continue reading Drrrrenched in Scent!
News & Notes From Around Lead

That moment when you are close enough to see most details but far enough up to see the whole. It’s staggering to notice just how many individuals … Continue reading From a High Vantage Point
Remember When All We Had Was to Complain About the Weather
Gooooooood Morning Lead! Have you been outside lately? We’ve had some beautiful days. On a walk this week I even smelled that Black Hills summer smell. You could blind fold me and drop me anywhere in the world and I would always recognize the smell of home. I can never quite put my finger on … Continue reading Remember When All We Had Was to Complain About the Weather
