I headed out for a second walk yesterday - out into a wet and ominously clouded night, and as I was crossing an intersection heading to the nearby nature area and the paved trail that runs through it, I had a thought. I've been in my suburb of some 70,000 people for 8 months now... … Continue reading Creepy

Not a Cheerful Christmas Post
We're in the home stretch. My husband worked from home Monday and Tuesday. I had contemplated sucking it up and staying home the entire time due to the kids being home on break, then realized I need to focus on keeping my mood stable as much as possible. So I spent Monday afternoon with M, … Continue reading Not a Cheerful Christmas Post
Elwood, Indiana
When I was pet-sitting for my dad in Tennessee I accidentally discovered the fact that late night drives appear to be relaxing and therapeutic for me. I decided I'd continue the practice once I'd returned to Indiana. Admittedly, Indiana's roads are not as fun to drive on as the roads in my dad's region of … Continue reading Elwood, Indiana
Late Night Winter Wonderland
I was trying to relax enough to sleep last night. Headphones were on and Loreena McKennitt was playing. I generally find her too mellow and low energy for daytime listening, but it's nice music for winding down. I came back to awareness for a moment and glanced around the room and noted how much light … Continue reading Late Night Winter Wonderland
Panther Creek State Park, Part 3
I went back to Panther Creek State Park the very next day after my first visit, when I found out the weather was supposed to be good, including sunshine. I'd been intending to stick to the lowland trails after the previous day's experience, and parked my car in one of the lower lots so I … Continue reading Panther Creek State Park, Part 3
Panther Creek State Park, Part 2
My first day, proceeding along the overlook loop trail and having passed to the other side of the hills and partially descended, I looked up and spotted a cave. 38 year old me thought 'that's cool,' took note of the terrain and thought it would be a good idea to keep walking. 8 year old … Continue reading Panther Creek State Park, Part 2
Panther Creek State Park, Part 1
I'd been planning to post about Panther Creek State Park after returning home from my dad's, but so much happened that pushed it to the back burner. The first day I went it was mostly a grey, cloudy day, but the park's scenery was gorgeous so I didn't mind the lack of sun too much. … Continue reading Panther Creek State Park, Part 1
Midnight Drive
Back in Indiana for three nights, and then I turn around and head back to Tennessee with my husband and kids for my family's Thanksgiving. This is going to be Hell Week for me. My husband is either working from home or off work until the Monday after Thanksgiving. My anxiety is already spiking and … Continue reading Midnight Drive
Halloween Fun
I don't get super excited about any holidays, not even Halloween, but I have been enjoying editing some of my photos into black and white to create scenes that hopefully have a creepy atmosphere suggestive of older horror movies.
Potter’s Bridge
Getting a bit behind here. I've been dealing with heightened anxiety and depression this week, as well as having had the Excel training course Monday night through Thursday night, and it left me with less energy for recording events here. Wednesday morning I decided I wanted to go for a walk somewhere other than my … Continue reading Potter’s Bridge
