Traditional post summing up the year.
For many years now, at the end of December, I've been ordering a wall calendar with photos for the corresponding months of the past year. And, as has become a tradition, I also post a post with the same photos.
January
Just like the year before, we went to the very edge of the world—the Keweenaw Peninsula. There's snow, skiing, Lake Superior, which is beautiful in any season, and someone (not me 😔) turned 21.
February
We went snowboarding again—this time in lower Michigan, near Manistee. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, Lake Michigan. I also worked.
March
Natasha took a complicated route to visit her mother, and I stayed home with the cats...
April
Spring is coming here, just in time for Natasha's arrival.
May
It's great at home, we're driving around the neighborhoods.
June
June in Ann Arbor is a time of peony blooms, summer festivals, and smog from the Canadian forest fires.
July
A three-week trip to the Northwest US: beautiful national parks, long drives, work on the road.
August
Another trip to Upper Michigan: the Keweenaw Peninsula is beautiful in both winter and summer, and meeting old friends.
September
It's a time of festivals, changing colors of leaves, beautiful sunsets
October
A Grand Trip to Peru: Machu Picchu, Cusco, Mountains, Rivers, Waterfalls…
November
One of the most beautiful months we have here in Michigan: the trees are covered in colorful leaves, and the weather can feel almost like summer one day, and snow the next…
December
This year December has been very good – snow, several beautiful sunny days (last year there wasn’t a single sunny day in December), Christmas lights… And the fact that there were occasional torrential rains and one day the temperature rose to +15 degrees – well, that’s what Michigan is for...
А то, что иногда шли проливные дожди и однажды температура поднялась до +15 градусов — так на то это и Мичиган…
