Art Show

So fellow travelers, our high school has display space in one area for student art work with rotating exhibitions through out the year. It is a space I visit often during the week, taking a few moments to appreciate the awesome pieces on display each month. Allie Brown and Riley Carlucci Once a year, during […]

The Miracle of Random Joy

So fellow travelers, cleaning off the deck on this warm breezy morning I found two little sticks which looked like letters. Smiling, I looked around for one more shape I needed. Right at that moment a flower fluttered down from our little dogwood tree which blossomed last week for the first time since we planted it […]

The Sound of Light

So fellow travelers, it’s been a strange couple of days. My original plans for the holiday weekend were derailed by a random digestive rebellion. No extended time with the new rescue dogs who arrived early Saturday, no hikes, bird walks or picnics, no visiting with friends camping at local state parks. Yesterday, feeling somewhat better, […]

Sunrise at Potter Road Marsh

So fellow travelers, some thoughts and one photo to share for now from  this weekend’s 24 hour Birdathon (narrative post pending). How to speak when the hearts too full when goodbye looms large and fills the horizon So silence lingers like dawn cast mist and sunrise paints a memory which grateful eyes take in holding […]

Mother’s Day

So fellow travelers,  just some simple words and a gift from the garden this morning. The opportunity to nurture life is the best gift. To be nurtured by others is the greatest blessing. Whatever your reason may you celebrate this day with joy. Walk gently on the path my friends and may adventure find you […]

Chasing Light : Morning Zen

So fellow travelers,  sunshine is a precious commodity in Upstate NY. Four decades of residency has me acclimated although this does not mean I like our climate.  It simply means my appreciation for sunshine has been vastly deepened. Never truer than this morning, the first full sunny day of our spring vacation week which has […]

Resurrection

So fellow travelers, sad news came via messages once again a few days ago. Another life ended so young. Too soon for those who knew and loved but barely soon enough for one held in the cruel grip of depression. A battle fought and lost and yet in losing brings peace now the struggle is […]

Between Goodbye and Hello

So fellow travelers, this is a week of many reunions and partings as Favorite Oldest Daughter, Favored Son-in-law and Favorite Youngest Daughter come and go within a few days of each other. My home feels so right when “the kids” are here. And a little too quiet when they leave. The afternoon sun cast a […]

Chasing Light : Daffodil Whisper

So fellow travelers, reviewing the photos from yesterday morning’s adventure (“Was that you crouched on the sidewalk taking photos by the library ?” a coworker asked me when I got to work) I found one I meant to include. I was going to add it the previous post until I heard the whisper of a […]

Chasing Light : Morning Daffodils

So fellow travelers, once again on my morning drive to work,  the light was wondrous. As I posted recently this can be both a source of joy and frustration. Today driving past the public library in town,  I caught sight of these daffodils in the morning light. With a school bus behind me I was […]
