Thank you

That's plenty.

From Summer Weekends

Will return to posting pictures, thoughts, words, and periodical rants after the celebrations conclude.

Cheers!

Another year

I am facing the passing and beginning of another year.  I am grateful for having survived another wonderful year.  I could not have done it without Paul.  Or Samson.  Or my wonderful EOTE, a terrific job with incredible people, living in a great community.  All of it.  So much to fill a grateful heart.

And I look forward to spring ... that leads to summer ... that leads to my little slice of heaven.

Some thoughts from my favorite writer.

Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.

And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.

So it begins.  Cheers to another wonderful year.

Friday Happy Dance

It's cold in Michigan. Single digits.  Nose-hair-freezing, skin tingling, fingers-and-toes numbing cold.   The benefit of this kind of cold is the hot tub.  When it's 7 degrees outside and 102 degrees in the hot tub, it makes for a wonderful soak.  There will be several nights like this in our future.

And cold like this brings beautifully clear skies.

But for a break, I dug up a couple of pictures that remind me of warmer times.

And it continues ...

... to fall, this snow, in this winter wonderland.











Here's to snow days, even on the weekend.
