Sharon and her husband John have two dogs, and live just outside of a small town in southwestern Michigan, in a home surrounded by woods on three sides and a small lake on the other. She delights in seeing deer in her yard, birds at her feeder, and new plants blossoming during the warm months. Sharon shares her observations of nature, small town life, and whatever else occupies her thoughts in her blog, “All The Things.”
