Now that it’s raining out, mud everywhere and just plain gloomy (WTH mid January thaw?? Oh that’s right, it’s Wisconsin), I felt a need to revisit a magical morning about 2 weeks ago, when I took the dogs for an early morning walk in the sparkling hoarfrost.
Hoarfrost in December
January 10, 2013Last light on the longest day of the year
June 20, 2012Almost perfect ending to the longest day of the year (June 20, 2012). Almost? Because those awesome rain clouds in background just missed us, and we NEED rain! (NOTE: click any image to enlarge)
(those of you not in this area should know we have been without rain for a long time now).
Hey, what’s the awesome beer you’re drinking (you ask)? Well, it’s the best shandy I’ve tasted yet (already mixed shandy that is, since you already know–Mom–that the best shandies are made with “regular” beer and real lemonade that you physically mix together yourself). It’s Potosi‘s Steamboat Shandy. Not only does it taste great, but I just noticed on the label that it says All Profits to Charity. That’s awesome! Wait, all?!? Is that even possible??! I think this calls for a trip and tour of Potosi Brewery to find out, sometime soon 🙂
Where’s the boy(s) you ask? Right here. Chillin’…
…and guardin’:
Favorite place in the world to be…
…at home with the family–relaxing after a run, and AFTER several weeks/months of hard-core production on The Tunnel of Mortality (currently at Artisan Gallery, Paoli, WI), with the install behind me…
Here’s my girl (at right), sort of on the lookout too. She’s better at seeing small bugs, microscopic critters and possibly invisible beings.
And the fireflies came out before the light disappeared completely:
Pretty perfect evening.
