A collaboration with George!

Let’s Burst into 2021!

My mom’s Halloween birthday connecting to Dia de los Muertos

The vibrant fall colors in the Midwest still astound me!

Are you drawn to images of purple and gold?

We are excited to announce our new website launch

50 Years Celebrating Earth Day. How far have we come? How far do we have to go?

It has taken me many years living in colder climates to understand that bright sunshine in winter or spring doesn't guarantee warmth.

Two things I'm counting on to get me through are a daily yoga practice and a walk. A walk around the block, a walk to the pond, a walk in the nearby woods, a walk in the Arboretum.

Several inches of snow fell overnight and had just stopped as we started this morning's winter walk.

Greetings in 2020 - New Year, New Decade. Let's hope we do better for our mother Earth.

It is no surprise that I've become an Education Program Guide at the Morton Arboretum.

Here's the second part of this visual poem (as taken from Sierra Club Handbook, 1947 edition) accompanied by George’s photographs:

Once again I've been leafing through George's collection of Sierra Club Bulletins and Handbooks.

Recently I found a box in our attic that contained a number of Sierra Club Bulletins dating from February 1931 to December 1963.

Everyday we scurry around in our busy lives.  What are we overlooking?  What are we not seeing? 

Our February calendar image is always a favorite - Baby Blue Eyes, Nemophila menziesii.
