It’s Tea Time: a sweet Box Card
This “It’s Tea Time” Box Card is a sweet DiY card design from Svgcuts.com. If you have a tea or coffee lover in your life, then this oh so cute Tea Time themed card is the one to make. I love everything about this design, it’s just so adorable! It would work pretty much with any color scheme or pattern. Personally, I think it calls for that lacey antique look, so that’s what I went for. This tea time box card came from the SVG Box Card Kit at SvgCuts.com. The set comes with four additional cards.

Maple Tapping Time In Central Wisconsin
It’s that wonderful time of the year again: maple tapping season in Wisconsin! The temps have begun to warm up above freezing during the day time, while dropping below freezing at night time.

I’d say most folks don’t do a test tap, they just go for it all right away. For me I like to test one tree to see if it’s flowing before tapping them all. I…

Comet NEOWISE in the night sky
Comet NEOWISE was an amazing sight to see in the night sky through July. I hope you were able to view it in your area. We had several clear nights with a little haze in the sky, but I was able to get a few photos of this historic event. The comet was first discovered on March 27th by the NEOWISE Space Telescope. It is considered a once in a decade comet and is as large as Mount Everest. NEOWISE, with is long icy tail, was a beautiful sight to behold in the night sky. I took the above photos using my 50mm lens around midnight. My comet chaser and…

Happy 4th of July Under The Full Moon
Happy 4th of July to the U.S.A! This is your two hundredth and forty fourth birthday! We the people sure have come a long way since the beginning of it all. While there have been many cancellations with celebrating our traditional 4th of July holiday, many private businesses and citizens have been making their own fireworks shows for the rest of us to see. I think they were even better than what our own city puts on! Since this was a three day weekend, we’ve been lucky enough to see fireworks all the way through the weekend. I’d like to give a big thank you to those who shared their…
