The Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier, downtown Chicago was big and overwhelming. I felt relieved when I saw that it was closed down for the day because of wind. I thought that was funny...things close down due to wind in the windy city? Ruthie, my three year old daughter,...

The Mayfly: Sometimes called the dayfly. For most of her life - two to three years - she swims in a pond. Her wings grow all of this time. These beautiful wings are kept shut up in a tight case getting ready for one, precious day in the air. This week, as my son...

“I am surrounded by death.” These are my words I brought out as my husband brought home a deer last night. The first one of this season…and the first of a very long season of not getting one. I tried to be happy for him but…I still felt sad when I saw the once wild...
