At The Table In My Sunroom: A Good Day

A Good Day

For February. The sun came out and melted snow. It was strong enough to sit outside without a jacket and feel it on your face.

A flock of robins swarmed the crabapple tree.

And, for the first time ever, cedar waxwings joined the feast.

The dogs played tug o' war.

And I attempted an Olympic feat...

I took my grandboys out for a 5 mile walk yesterday and as we were heading home, Dylan rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Grandma, I'm HOT!" I found that hard to believe since it was barely 50 degrees outside, but the sun felt absolutely DELICIOUS here yesterday!

I also wanted to mention I've seen your blog title coming to visit on my Feedjit...I'm not sure if that's you or someone coming via links, but I'm so happy to see my blog listed on your sidebar. I have you listed on my Favorite Coffee Stops, too, now...I am enjoying your site very much!

That looks like fun. :-)

We have the winter Olympics here in Vancouver right now, and we're in the middle of ... summer (almost). We have cherry and magnolia trees blooming, tulips, daffodils, crocuses, roses, azaleas, irises, lilies and yes, even dandelions.

It's embarrassing. :-)

That commented deleted was me. (Sorry). It posted from a closed account, for some strange reason...

Thanks for visiting. I love having you at my table with me.

A time has come in my life to reach into another place, to reach into a cobwebbed and stiff part of my brain - the creative part. And then, maybe to take what I find to hold it out to share. You see, I have never been creative (and am still not, you might say); I have experienced the world analytically. I now see there is so much more to the world than that.

This started with an idea to write a photo-journal to myself. In that journal, I would write and take photos of details to CONTEMPLATE the numerous sparkles of life I have around me, and CAPTURE them to last. So here I am, come join me....

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
