Thursday Doors: New Neighborhood

For Norm’s Thursday Doors this week, I feature our new neighborhood. (See also my companion post about The Moorings.) Since we moved to The Moorings of Arlington Heights three months ago, I have not confined my walks to the campus – I’ve been exploring the surrounding neighborhood as well! Here are some doors and other […]

FOTD: White Peonies

I am adding my photo of peonies to Cee’s FOTD 6/11/19! Most likely this will be my last entry for the month. We are leaving for France later today!

FOTD: Tree

Festival of Leaves: Spotty Color (Week 6)

I almost missed this week’s prompt for Festival of Leaves! I was immediately reminded of this photo that I took last week for exactly that reason: the color on the tree behind the tall yellow one was spotty! Some leaves were still green, but most had turned various shades of orange or red. Here are […]
