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

      I’m trying to brighten everyone’s outlook Terri as so many of us are dealing with this wintry blast or rainy conditions. We’re not as low as you, but we have freezing rain right now, morphing into 3-6 (maybe 8 inches of snow overnight).

        Please stay safe! We ran errands in town today (“town” is a 30 minute drive), to get ahead of the snow returning Thursday. It’s a mess when snow falls over ice.

        You were smart doing that “run” before the snowstorm. I finally got out for a walk late yesterday as we’ve had so much ice since my last walk on 02/02. It was 33 degrees, so I took the car for a run and went to the Park. We have huge potholes as well; the car and I will likely hunker down for another week as we now have more snow coming on Saturday.

    Several others have already weighed in and we’re all in agreement: no matter where we live, your photos are a colorful counter to what we’re seeing outdoors today.

      Thank you Dave. The weather is pretty ugly in most parts of the U.S. right now. We have freezing rain right now, the third time in a week. It is going to morph into 3-8 inches of snow … for us here in SE Michigan, likely 3-6 inches, depending on how long this freezing rain lasts. More snow on Saturday – Winter with no end in sight. The Woodchuck lied!

      Yes, I am sure that bee was thinking just that Ann Marie as I hovered over it as it went from flower to flower. 🙂 I knew there would a time in Winter, when some roses and a bee would bee nice to see.

    What beautiful flowers, Linda. The roses are my favorite. I miss both the flowers and the buzzing bees in the winter.

      Like you, I miss them too Rebecca. I thought another post with Summery flowers and bees would be nice since so many people are dealing with bad weather now. They are from Emily Frank Garden as was the rosy red Hibiscus in Sunday’s post.

    How lovely to see these beautiful flowers and bees! 😍 We got a ton of snow overnight, and more expected on the weekend. 😝

    Refreshing pictures to remind us of warmer times! 😊 After two days of shoveling, i needed this! Winter is often barren of a lot of the life activities and blossoming… though snowflakes can sometimes be pretty.

      Tom, it seems like Summer was so long ago and too far away right now, although the days are getting longer. I could get outside earlier to walk but there is so much ice. I’ve hardly walked this year – too dangerous. I’m glad you liked the pictures. I’m not looking forward to this weekend’s multiple snow/ice events. This is crazy. We only got four inches of snow from Wednesday due to the sleet that came with it. Do you capture snowflakes with your macro lens?

      Yes and that day I complained about how hot and humid it was at Emily Frank Gardens. This bee in the flowers is a reminder that things will be colorful and beautiful again this year, though it is hard to believe that right now!
