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 long to see these colors again Esther. Even though Fall, not Spring, is my favorite season, I still embrace those first days of Spring with lush green grass, trees leafing out and the early bloomers, like Crocuses, Daffodils and Tulips. Patience is a virtue.

      • Spring will be here soon, so you will be treated with those pretty colors and new blooms!! Just a little bit longer to survive the winter.

        I can hardly wait Esther! I know that that last Winter was long and drawn out too, but that wintry weather did not start at Thanksgiving like this Winter of 2025-2026, so that is why it seems worse this year. The days are getting longer though – something to feel good about.

    I’ve seen that in particular with the swans out at Kensington. Seems like someone is always chasing someone else away from the girl.

      I was at Lake Erie Metropark a few years ago in the Winter. I was taking photos of some Mute Swans near the fishing bridge. It was ice-covered at the shoreline and while I was taking photos, two male swans got into a fight and one ended up flat on the ice. The “little lady” waited in the water while they were fighting. After being down for the count, the one swan finally came to and paddled away. I thought it was a goner.

    It’s funny to think that geese have drama in their lives too. 🙂

      Yes, it is Rebecca. I looked at the two on the right, kind of cozying up in that corner and the goose on the left definitely looks put out. 🙂 Yes, geese often have some drama, even the goslings, when humans are around. I just finished my post for Sunday about ducks. Ducks have their moments too and I’ll have a funny story about a pair of Wood Ducks at the duck pond.

  13. Great shot, Linda! They look very young to me. It’s much too cold for all of the birds in my area now. I don’t know how they survive so successfully.

      Thanks Tom! Yes, young and they haven’t learned how to all play together nicely and not exclude their friend. I worry for the birds and the squirrels. Yesterday I was shoveling snow and saw a shadow overhead (finally a little sun) and a Cooper’s Hawk was carrying something dark in its talons and struggling with the weight. I hope it was not a squirrel. I felt sick when I saw it, but it was not close enough to see the prey. I hope to finally get to the Park this weekend, but only if it is not too icy. The weather has been so cold/snowy/icy, same as your weather I’m sure and I’ve not been at the Park since the 12th of January.
