petals and thistles: Wow!
http://petalsandthistles.blogspot.com/2011/10/wow.html
Ramblings along the road of life. Saturday, October 1. That's the word that comes to mind when you go outside right now. Wow! Last night was a perfect evening for a walk at Lake Bemidji State Park. Those lights across the lake in the photo below are the football stadium where the Bemidji Lumberjacks were playing their Homecoming game- they won! We thought about going to the game but I'm glad we went for a walk instead! October 1, 2011 at 1:37 PM. Your photos are stunning! October 6, 2011 at 5:13 PM.

petals and thistles: August 2011

Ramblings along the road of life. Monday, August 22. I think that is what our kids are yelling lately, at least to themselves. But for me it's more like SAAAAAAAADNEEEEEEESS! Letting go of your kids is one of those thistles in life that ya gotta do but gosh it is painful, mixed in with exciting, and a roller coaster of emotions for this momma. Last week Leanne passed her driver's test. Here she is- one happy girl! I made sure he had a photo of us so he doesn't forget his family :). Nevermind that he's on...

Ramblings along the road of life. Saturday, April 17. Well, I did it. I put away my turtlenecks. I know. I know what you are thinking.it's a bit early isn't it? After all, it's only April 17th. Well, what can I say, I am a risk-taker! I still have all my scarves out, however, just in case my neck complains too much. So here's the extent of my "spring cleaning" so far. It feels good, doesn't it? And here's the bags of clothes that are going somewhere else to take up space.yah hoo! Links to this post.

Ramblings along the road of life. Tuesday, February 15. From me to you. And from all the Oakeses. Links to this post. Thursday, February 10. To Packer Land and back. It was risky, but we ventured into Wisconsin during Super Bowl. Weekend. We survived. Actually, we had a great time. We went. To Leanne's Show Choir competition and bummer but I didn't get. Any photos because they don't let you use flash photography during. The competitions. Each group's show is only about 20 minutes long. Feet, I loved it!

Ramblings along the road of life. Saturday, October 23. Well, I got out my turtlenecks. It's time. The neighbors harvested the corn field. Now I feel rather exposed on the south side and it sends a shiver. But it is still warmer than usual and I am not complaining. Cut down some dead trees for wood for the sauna. And Landon had a big bonfire with some friends. My favorite shrubs are the barberry bushes with their. Variegated colors and bright red berries in the fall. So cool! It was getting dark on us.

Ramblings along the road of life. Thursday, September 30. Soaking up the sun and drinking in the color! Has to be one of the big reasons people choose to live in this state.
