We all Share the Same Sun
















Look around and I can see the colors changing around me. From different professors, I was taught to look deeper, and see the true colors in an object, form, or landscape. Now surrounded by the beauty that is the U.P., I find myself catching all these colors and their changes throughout the day.
If you've been to our modest rental home, you know that we have a spectacular view, which I appreciate every day. I have to say I'm a couch potato, not that I sit and sit with the T.V. on (but, then, I do have those moments), but I sit and sit looking out the window.

When the sun comes up in the morning, the snow is tye dyed in blues and purples as the warm sun splatters it's compliments. As the sun sets in the evening, the sun streaks colors across the clouds and bounces those same colors against anything white or reflective. Yesterday, the icicles on the eaves absorbed some of this color play and I found myself taking it all in as the sun slipped away.

The Sun Shines in the U.P. (at least on Wednesdays)


The sun is shining and all indicators are saying it'll be a beautiful day up here. Crisp, bright, and beautiful. True fall! After almost two weeks of rain, it's great to see the sun again. Dad's in town for a few days, so future blogs this week will document our explorations. Black River Harbor today? -Yes! Even on cloudy days, the changing leaves are a great sight to see, but should look much bolder with the full sunshine on them. Check out the picc of Beautiful Sunday Lake from M-28.
"Environment conscientious" moment- turn off any unnecessary lights, and let the sun shine it through open drapes. It'll brighten your mood and your room, and help to lower those silly electricity bills.
