For many years, I have created a New Years goal list, one goal for every year (e.g. 12 goals for 2012). This year, I am stopping that tradition. Not because I don’t like it, but because this year I only…
This year we had a wonderful fall, full of the rich colors I love. Deep reds and oranges. Subtle yellows and browns. Days full of crisp mornings, warm afternoons and windy evenings. I am so glad Minnesota got a full…
