One of my favorite things during the Christmas season is to visit the Wayne County Lightfest, a 4 1/2 mile magical drive through the holiday light displays on Edward Hines Drive.
This year marks the 27th year for the Wayne County Lightfest, which lights up Hines Drive in the western suburbs of Detroit, Michigan from Westland to Dearborn Heights.
The Lightfest features 47 giant light displays with more than one million lights. Continue reading Photo of the Week: Wayne County Lightfest 2020
I hope you are safe and warm on this Christmas Day.
Praying for peace this Christmas, especially for everyone struggling to find joy and cause for celebration in a year that has brought so much darkness, loss, and pain.
May the light of love shine upon you and yours and bring you hope of better times ahead.
Let us strive toward peace on earth and goodwill to all.
One of our family holiday traditions is hiking the trails at Kensington Metropark Nature Center, near Milford in southeast Michigan.
In the past, when our son was younger and in grade school, we would hike on New Year’s Day.
Not a day when many people are out at the metroparks; we often had the trails to ourselves.
But since our son is an adult living a few hours away, he visits us for the Christmas holiday.
And leaves for home to spend New Year celebrations with his friends.
So we’ve moved out holiday hike to a day during the holidays when we can all get together. This year, our hike was the day after Christmas.
With temperatures in the mid-50’s Farenheit, it was a spring-like walk on the muddy trails to see Downy Woodpeckers, Black-capped Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse, Red-tailed Hawks, and the few remaining Sandhill Cranes near the water.
The trails were filled with people enjoying the unexpected warm weather; we met a family who excitedly told us they saw their first Bald Eagle in Michigan.
We left the trails as the sun was setting and managed to see the albino deer on the road out of the metropark. What a treat!
Happy holidays!
