Final Photo

 

Sunset in the west

Since this blog has been one mostly composed of photographs, I decided it only fitting to finalize it with a photo of the rare, colorful sunset we saw this January. Ordinarily, we see colorful sunrises here, but the bright glow of the sunset is usually not in sight where we live. Nature always abounds with beauty.

May 2021 be a year of thoughtfulness, kindness, and compassion, a year of valuing family, friends, and neighbors, a year of caring for each other remembering we all share this one earth together. 

Thank you for sharing my blogging journey ... and ...

"Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."

Merry Christmas 👼

 

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
and
May your spirits be bright!

"The most significant gifts are the ones most easily overlooked. Small, everyday blessings: woods, health, music, laughter, memories, books, family, friends, second chances, warm fireplaces, and all the footprints scattered throughout our days."

The Day After

 
We got about eight - ten inches of snow yesterday. Today, the sun was shining bright again. At times, it was almost blinding outside as the sunlight reflected off the newly fallen white blanket of snow. It was warmer today, too...not icy cold like it was with the winds gusting and the snow falling yesterday. It was a good day to get outside, roam around, and take a few photos to post!
