Lake Michigan in January...



Pictures tell stories. This week, I thought I would do a picture blog.

With my knee healing, I still can't do much walking. On Saturday, Hubby drove us up to Lake Michigan. We spent a windy, but warm morning (mid 40's) visiting Whihala Beach along the Whiting/Hammond border. This area of the lakefront is more industrial because of the proximity to Chicago, but still has a grand view of the lake. We wanted to get some fresh air before the temps fell into the single digits this week. I also wanted to add to my collection of stones and lake glass (it's sea glass, but here in the region we call it lake glass). Enjoy the visit to Lake Michigan!

Thanks for joining me! What did you do over the weekend? Do you collect any odds or ends from nature?

Between you, me and the gatepost,
