This was the view out my front door last night around 6pm. Just as the sun began to set, a rain storm rumbled through leaving behind this rainbow ~ a nice way to end the day.

One day last week or so, we got a bright and sunny day in the middle of what has been a long season of persistent gray and dreary. So, when I picked Sean up from school I suggested that instead of going home, we should stop off at the local nature trail and go exploring. [...]

This morning, I looked out the back windows to see my yard filled with robins. They were the biggest, fattest flock of birds I have ever seen. It was fun to watch them nibble and peck invisible delicacies out of the wet earth, their orange feathers glowing in the pink morning sun, sharp black eyes [...]

I turned 50 a while back. Or maybe I’m going to be 50 soon. I forget which. I like to be coy. Nonetheless, I jotted down a random list of 50 things I’ve learned or observed in 50 years. These things may not be universally true, but they are true for me. * * * * [...]
