Cedar Waxwings Get Cold Breakfast
The morning of December 22, 2022 was one of the most frigid days in recent memory. The winter storm brought 30-40 mph winds and temperatures sometimes to down to 30 or worse. I didn’t get right out there to shovel. Snow was blowing around until well after noon. This gave me a chance to watch…

Snow Day!
I wrote this post yesterday because I didn’t know whether or not we’d have a power outage because of high winds (up to nearly 50 mph) predicted for the Arctic Blast this week.

Stanley Museum of Art in Iowa City
We visited the Stanley Museum of Art, which opened in August. One piece impressed us even before we entered the museum. One of our favorites is “Two Lines Oblique” by George Rickey. It’s a huge mobile outside the entrance. The mural “Surroundings” by Odila Donald Odita is striking. Odita says it’s his answer to “Mural”…

I read this article about social media last night, written by Rachel Young, PhD, Associate Professor, Undergraduate Studies. It made me think about my WordPress blog and my YouTube accounts. I ask myself what I’m doing with them. I like to think I’m doing the right things with them. I use a sense of humor…
