About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each and every post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things I see on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, and 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 that day. I respect and appreciate nature and my interaction 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. My career has been in the legal field and I have been a legal secretary for four decades, primarily working in downtown Detroit, and now working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in print journalism in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met and shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing once again in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy – hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

      Yes he was wasn’t he Rebecca? I was lucky to get to close to it. That was a good morning for the Great Backyard Bird Count. The weather was a little warmer than it’s been and the sun was shining – perhaps that is why.

      Thanks Andy – these Downies are our smallest woodpeckers and are very cut. This one is a female as it doesn’t have the red patch on the back of its head. I saw it as a juvenile and thought it was a male for some reason, but I kept the name “Dempsey” for it. [I am sorry for the late response – my internet went out early Thursday and was not back until this morning due to a big ice storm.]
