What’s mine is yours …

Once again the sunny sky belied the true temps and frigid conditions. Absent on this morning’s trip outside were the birds who must have decided they would find a human more in tune with their needs … I missed them. I almost pulled the car out to run it in the driveway, but it was way too slick at the entry to the garage. Years ago, I was pulling the car in and slid on a small icy patch thus nicking the passenger side-view mirror, so I decided against it. The car started right away and I had to leave the garage door up for a few minutes to get rid of the noxious fumes so I peered down to Fort Street where everyone seemed to be zipping along. Tomorrow the poor drivers will deal with freezing rain and a dusting of snow on their morning commute. However do you all do it? I would be a basket case by now! Do you think this pair is up to no good? Maybe they are looking for a snack to share. Perhaps we humans could learn a lesson here.

In the wilderness is the preservation of the world. ~ Henry David Thoreau

About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub
