A tag-along day on Lake Bemidji
I tagged along with Bethany today as she covered Polar Daze for the Pioneer. I figured it would make a cold outdoor activity more fun for both of us, as well as give us a rare opportunity to do some … Continue reading
Amazing January
I stepped outside on Thursday, Jan. 5, and walked into October. Bethany was on her way to my house to go walking, and I hadn’t put my jacket on yet. I went outside for a moment in my hoodie and … Continue reading

Spring: Nature’s amazing style show
We’ve had beautiful weather for walking lately, and today was no exception, as the green keeps filling in and standing out more and more against an awesome blue sky. Vibrant blues and greens are pretty much my favorite color combination, … Continue reading
A beautiful day for a walk around Bemidji …
We had a beautiful day for walking today. In fact, we were all over the place. We started out downtown and wandered over to 15th Street and then in the Bemidji State University area, finally coming back around the waterfront. … Continue reading
Back on the trail again — it must be spring!
After months of winter, followed by a season that has been more winter than spring, we finally got back to “our” dirt trail along Lake Bemidji today for our noon-hour walk, which was not the pleasant outing we’d envisioned. The … Continue reading
