It's Just A Different Day….

When you are lucky enough to live on or near a body of water the view is ever changing. Sun, wind, clouds, ripples, waves, foam, colors….every time you look at it, the water looks new and different.

Our condo has a small deck overlooking Lake Michigan - and we never forget how lucky we are to be able to just walk to the window and watch the water. Maybe we have a special appreciation for it after living aboard our sailboat for two years. Every night, at anchor, we were surrounded by water….and it was beautiful. We never tired of watching the water.

About a week ago we had a storm with winds clocking from the north east with gusts up to 50 mph. The force of the wind did amazing things to "our" lake….and during the day hundreds of people came to watch. We drove around our little town to get views from all directions. Lake Michigan was furious.

Yesterday it was sunny and almost warm. Fenway and I went for our morning walk along the harbor. It's quiet and kind of "sad" now - all the boat slips are empty for the winter. There won't be much activity in the marina until spring.

And just look at the difference a few days can make…..or a few hours. Lake Michigan was soft and peaceful.

It just never gets old.
