    But, then…

    April 1, 2024

    After some precious quiet time, journaling and watching the sunrise at a natural area, I let Isaac make me a mocha latte. As you can see he outdid himself on his artwork, almost too pretty to drink. And, he was grinning from ear-to-ear when he handed it to me. But, then…

    After taking this photo to document his work of art, I bumped the table and sloshed the mocha everywhere. 😳 I was grateful for the saucer as it caught most of the spill and I could pour it back into the cup. He forgave me! It is overcast, cool, and damp after last nights rain. It actually feels refreshing. May you have a wonderful Monday!

    “I am one of those who has no trouble imagining the sentient lives of trees, of their leaves in some fashion communicating or of the massy trunks and heavy branches knowing it is I who have come, as I always come, each morning, to walk beneath them, glad to be alive and glad to be there.”

    Good morning! It is a bright sunshiny morning. Awoke to frost on the car as winter draws closer. This image is from my walk yesterday afternoon and shows more of the colors nature is giving us this year in the city, which has been beautiful. However, it will not be long and these colors will be gone for this season. Winter will bring the greys and browns then followed by blankets of white. Already been to the coffee shop and indulged in a mocha and lemon cranberry scone. Happy Monday!

    An Awesome Week

    June 3, 2013

    A Cool Drink

    It is a wonderful morning. A light cloud cover is keeping it just cool enough for me. Already have a walk in with a stop off at a coffee shop. Yet, warm enough to work up a sweat. My mind is still blank on things to write about and I do not want to be one who tells you what I ate for breakfast. Instead I’ll post and image of what I drank over the weekend. Hope everyone has an awesome week.

    Monday Morning

    April 15, 2013

    Locked Up

    … and it’s snowing. They have lifted the Winter Storm Watch and implemented the Winter Storm Warning. So, I think that means it is now actually snowing. The streets are slushy and the wet snow is sticking to everything, causing tree branches to droop down. Looks like this rider is walking this morning. Hope everyone has an awesome week.
