The last of my major home renovation projects is done! Woo hoo!
I ended up using white subway tile with a stripe of glass mosaic tile as an accent.

Jackson Browne, live on Soundstage
A few weeks ago, I caught Jackson Browne’s recent performance on the PBS show, Soundstage. It was captivating. PBS sells some of the Soundstage performances on DVD so I immediately checked if this show was available — it wasn’t.
The other day I was delighted to see one of the bootleg blogs I read posted a link to the audio: Jackson Browne: live on Soundstage 2009.
One highlight of the show was “Time the Conqueror,” the title track from his latest album, which shows he definitely hasn’t lost his talent for songwriting.
Riding the drive
The City of Madison held an event today called Ride the Drive. They closed almost six miles of downtown streets to all vehicular traffic, and let the bicyclists have free reign for six hours.

Hiking through Copper Falls
I also visited Copper Falls State Park while vacationing in Northern Wisconsin earlier this month.
The most scenic views of the park are along the Doughboys’ Nature Trail. Along that thick, wooded trail, you get great views of the deep gorges and park’s largest waterfalls.
Soaring eagles
I had a LOT of bald eagle sightings when I was in northern Wisconsin.
My favorite happened late one afternoon while I was reading in a lounge chair at my campsite. Dark movement in the sky hit my peripheral vision. I looked up, and there was this eagle, soaring on the wind, scanning the shallows of the lake for fish.
Lake of the Falls
While camping last week, I took a couple of day trips to see nearby sights. One was to Lake of the Falls County Park in Iron County.
Back in the great outdoors
Last week I was camping in the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest, one of my favorite places to experience the outdoors.
Dreamcatcher
When I walked into my bedroom this late this afternoon, I was struck by the shadows created by the window blinds and the dreamcatcher hanging over my bed.
The julia butterfly
At the Olbrich Gardens butterfly exhibit today, one particular julia butterfly was very patient with me. While most of the other butterflies in the dome fluttered about, this one just stood there, posing like a model for several minutes.
