My Annual Reminder To Always Have Hope
I think I post a picture of this tree on my socials every year. This is a Weeping Cherry Tree we have in our backyard. It was a gift from a Confirmation class my wife and taught oh…. probably twenty years ago now. Oh and yes, there are lights in the tree. My wife found…

Appreciation For The Four Seasons
I was walking the dog this week in the light snow we had Wednesday morning. I had on my winter coat, hat and gloves and Charlie was in his winter coat. Suddenly I had a flashback to just a few months ago. It was only four or five months ago that we would only go…

I Am SO Ready!
It is April 2nd and I am chomping at the bit…which I’ve always considered to be a strange phrase. It means you are eager to start something but you are held back. Okay where was I? There is so much that I want to do now that spring is here and we are done with…

Once The Weather Turns All Is Forgotten
I was thinking about this the other day, as I sat in the yard in the sun: Once the weather turns all is forgiven. In case you’re a new reader I’ll say it again… I hate March in New England. I’ve written a few blogs about this in the past. You get all excited because…

Some Deep Thoughts on Spring
I find myself in deep thought as Spring develops around me. This year I’m really noticing and appreciating the flowers as they bloom and the grass as it wakes up from a winter of sleep. I’m really thinking about the newness and color after the darkness of winter and I find myself thinking about how…

This Is More Like It
Now THIS feels more like it! Welcome to spring! I know the calendar said March 20th was the first day of spring but, as it usually does, the weather didn’t quite feel like it until yesterday. Yesterday was a great day when you could get outside without extra layers, maybe without a jacket, if you…

The Month of March
This year I’m going to try. I’m really going to try. This year I’m going to try and like March. I’ve never been much of a fan of the month of March. It’s such a tease. You think we’re through with winter and the threat of snow and then BAM! Three or four inches or…
