midwest lotus: February 2015
http://www.midwestlotus.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Weeki Wachee is totally Wack. So here is a photo of my daughter that I love. I promptly made it the home screen photo on my phone (did I tell you? I've finally entered the 21st century with a smart phone). This photo was taken at Weeki Wachee. A strange little tourist attraction in western Florida. We have this strange photo of her grandfather sitting next to the mermaid taken over 35 years ago. She's never seen this photo (th...

midwest lotus: Airstream in the Woods
http://www.midwestlotus.com/p/the-woodland-retreat.html
Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Airstream in the Woods. We are city folk but about thirteen years ago we began this adventure to create our own woodland retreat. It began with one acre out in the woods of Wisconsin. Now we have four acres and a daughter to share the woodland experience. Come with me into the woods. Below is a collection of photos and words from our various experiences. Weekend in the Woods. Ramps growing in the woods. A tree falls in the woods. Brown leaves and blue sky.

http://www.midwestlotus.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. And goodbye Lotus 365 photo project! The slate is officially wiped clean. Time to start a new year, new projects, new adventures, new ways to show love and gratitude. Cheers to a safe, warm, and wonderful 2015! Labels: 2014 Lotus 365. For some odd reason I feel like one of my resolutions for 2015 should be more coffee. And more Bloody Mary's! Monday, December 29, 2014. A late breakfast at Hell's Kitchen. Labels: 2014 Lotus 365.

midwest lotus: April 2015
http://www.midwestlotus.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Thursday, April 30, 2015. I have to give a speech tonight at a Co-op event so this week's energy was consumed by that anxiety. I'm actually very excited about it but there is always a certain level of anxiety involved before these events. I didn't have to help plan the event this year which relieved some of the stress. But I still have to show up and speak. So just now getting around to posting these photos which I also posted on Instagram. Next up: cheeseca...

midwest lotus: city malaise
http://www.midwestlotus.com/2015/07/city-malaise.html
Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Monday, July 13, 2015. A heat wave is coming through the area so we decided to stay in the city. We needed to prepare for the lockdown. Likely it won't last more than a week but it is nice to be able to cool down in the house in that one week of hot, humid heat. The needles I used for the sleeves are bigger than the ones I used for the body of the sweater. How did this happen? So I pull out the sleeve and regroup, opting to not frog the whole dang thing.

midwest lotus: lazy days
http://www.midwestlotus.com/2015/07/lazy-days.html
Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Friday, July 24, 2015. We are headed to the 4-Acre Wood this afternoon and while prepping for the trip I realized I hadn't posted anything in days and days. Summer seems to always be an invitation to be lazy, even if the lazy is full of activity. There are big changes coming to my life in less than a month. The little one starts school soon. I had to buy an academic calendar to track her days off (her school is off on major Christian and. That's a memory I'm...

midwest lotus: making holiday memories
http://www.midwestlotus.com/2015/07/making-holiday-memories.html
Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Monday, July 6, 2015. I busted a log and a colony of ants came pouring out. In an instant there was this flood of teeming little insects. Let's just pause for a minute and consider that image, the one that takes over my bug phobic mind (not anything I could nor want to capture with my camera). Would this have been better at dark? The Fourth in Wisconsin is not unlike a friendly fire war zone. No kidding. The booms and cracks and explosions are all ar...This ...

midwest lotus: exquisite July moments
http://www.midwestlotus.com/2015/07/exquisite-july-moments.html
Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Monday, July 27, 2015. There is nothing like a well-timed storm. I love that moment when the lightening and thunder gets worked up, striking and rumbling loud. We were settled and ending the bedtime routine when the summer storm poured a sky's worth of heavy rain. Storms in an aluminum airstream are full of tinny taps and splats. The rain seems so close. Labels: Airstream Trailer Life. Unknown out in the Woods. July 27, 2015 at 3:13 PM. Such a lovely post!

Airstream in the Woods. The Self Care Society. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Flower leaf feather mushroom. Flower leaf feather mushroom. And that white thing growing from the ground that I can't identify. I did read somewhere about it and how it doesn't need photosynthesis but rather gets all the nutrients from the ground. How did I get distracted by city gardens when there's so much to share about these woodland summer things? Maybe because I don't know what to say. Their presence is a mystery to me. I found...
