Winter in Michigan

Kim’s had ten months of Kim’s cancer pain/diagnosis/surgery/radiation/chemo/fatigue. And now it is snowing and cold, and the nights are long. That means it’s time to go outside and play. There’s no reason to fall victim to your circumstances. That’s not how my Kim operates.

Winter Walk
       
Beautiful winter day outside, temperature in the teens,




so we decided to go for a walk.



The icicles are getting longer every day . . .


and the snow is getting deeper.








Winter Drive

Ice and snow also mean it's time to go for a drive to see our Torch Lake cottage.



The road to our cottage

The cold did not stop the guys from working.

We will be swimming here in a few months.

We took another snowy drive out onto Leelenau Peninsula.


We weren't the only turkeys enjoying the day.

Winter Tough

Is the lake frozen? No problem.

Snowy Owls fly south for Michigan winters. This 4-year-old female, Socia, was hatched and banded in Minnesota.

"I've got my love to keep me warm."

This is how Kim deals with her illness.

  2. Beautiful photos! Looks like a lot of progress on your cottage/home. It is really cold here also. I really like winter photography. Some of my best photos are winter scenes. Keep on trucking!
