At the first inkling of spring I stopped at the Michigan lake shore to snap a few photos

that would encourage me as the days bounced from cold to slightly warm to 

cold to colder and colder yet!

Different groups of wonderful souls take time out of their lives to

add touches of beauty to our shores.

I applaud them!

I don't know them by name, but their 

handiwork is easy to admire. 

I will be adding more shots from the stunning shores of Lake Michigan 

and I hope you will find them as beautiful and inspiring as I do.

These are just the beginning!

Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters, 

they see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. For He commands and

 raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of the sea. Psalm 107:23 -  25

Going For a Walk One Day!

We were making some memories and taking some exercise together recently. Porschea our perfect 

dog--though I love to call her a puppy--really enjoys interacting with children. Her size and exuberance with greeting sometimes causes children to want to back off. 

Recently we were at a public event with our granddaughter and family. She wanted to pet some

dogs that were there. They were so uninterested in being pet by a baby. 

That made me appreciate our Porschea all the more!

She is such a love...

Do you have a special pet or a memory of some extraordinary attention from an animal?
