It was a typical Saturday, with one exception. It was my birthday. This was to be a quiet natal celebration, by choice. Post Christmas birthdays often find one a bit wasted, overindulged and frankly, spent by non-stop holiday celebrations. Don’t get me wrong. I am a Christmas fanatic! From Halloween through New Years, I am […]

The rain was steady against a dark sky—no cheerful chirps coming from my bird feeder this morning. Nature’s gray silence amplified my conflicted emotions as I pondered yesterday’s call from a beloved 85 year old friend.

I am finding myself experiencing a strange mix of emotions at the mere mention of the shut down ending. Even the statement, ’getting the economy going again’ − while I know it is desperately necessary − fills me with a sense of vague disappointment. I struggle to fully understand why.

Easter Sunday dawned with a bit of a chill in the air. The rain continued on and off through the day. It didn’t really matter. We were not going anywhere. We did look forward to our first family experience with ZOOM, allowing all to see each other on the screen at once. The call would be

It’s a beautiful day. I opened the window at 5:30 am and heard the birds in glorious song. So glad we have birds this year. It has taken six years to have sufficient tree growth to attract the birds. And now that we put out seed, they are in our own back yard. Today will

Last nite, John read that this week could be the peak of fatalities with the COVID virus. We are told it will be reminiscent of the Pearl Harbor experience, although that is being contested by Andrew Coumo, Governor of New York, who states that NYC numbers are beginning to decline.
