The motivation is slow in coming.Continue reading “Autumn Around The Burg – 2020”

Life is Beautiful

We moved to this lovely mid-west town, affectionately known as The Burg, two and a half years ago. Little did we know that we would fall in love with this town and it’s people.

All the Fields Are Brown and The Sky is Gray

The winter has set in here, in The Burg. Today we went for a drive. We have been socked-in with clouds for about a month, or so it seems. The sun is scarce and this is unusual. Once the beautiful colors of autumn have finished their glorious display of plumage, the browns and grays setContinue reading “All the Fields Are Brown and The Sky is Gray”

It is just about three months since we moved to The Burg. Our house feels like home for us and the dogs and the grand girls who come Monday through Friday. So, now what?
