Spring comes slowly
Spring is slow to arrive in northern New England. Morning walks still require a warm jacket, which I find preferable to mosquitoes. As the birds return, adding their voices to the chorus, April’s brown slowly changes to May’s green, and I’m feeling the renewed energy the change of season brings.

Simple Pleasures
Have you ever heard of Storyworth? Me neither—that is, until my daughter gifted Greg and me with a subscription. A weekly prompt for writing and photos, all printed and bound at year’s end. My first prompt—Simple Pleasures. What simple pleasures do you enjoy most?

I should have known my blog would send my subscribers random emails filled with gibberish, because… you know… Technology… I am so sorry my blog spammed your inbox! Mea Culpa.

Ch-ch-changes

Smiling about…

The fickle month of February
The fickle month of February… It’s been cold, it’s been warm, it’s been bitter cold, and back to (grossly) warm. And try as I might, I can’t do a darned thing about it, which leaves me with no choice but to be a sport—if I must. And this is what my fiendishly fickle month is…
