Light, for Newtown


DSC_6166
Candles lit for peace, healing, love, wisdom, comfort, bed time kisses, hugs, friends, parents and grown ups who know what to do, forgiveness, and so on and so on...Annie and I lit these candles to shine light into the darkness of the day.  Paul and Emma joined us as we released the flames later that evening.  Our hearts remain heavy with the tragedy that took place in our state yesterday.

A Man and His Tree

We took this year's Christmas tree from our yard.  Paul and I had planted the trees when we moved in more than 16 years ago.  The trees that survived are huge, we're actually only using the top of this one in our home.

Embrace

I really do take to heart the desire to "make the world a better place".
WE ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED. WHAT YOU DO TODAY, RIGHT NOW, MATTERS THE MOST. YOU ARE CREATING AND INFLUENCING THE WORLD AROUND YOU AT EVERY MOMENT SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH, SMILE AND SHINE LIGHT INTO YOUR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE. IT'S HOW WE CAN ALL MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. ~ZEKE OF BODHICITTA

You aren't imagining things...I inadvertently broke my blog.  I realized too late that changing the privacy settings on my flickr photos would break their links back to my blog.  I've begun the tedious effort of reconnecting each photo.

Spring has Sprung, First Dinner on the Deck

Spring has Sprung, First Dinner on the Deck
First dinner on the deck
We enjoyed a lovely first dinner on the deck this spring last night - all the while missing our Emma (she's in CHINA this week - yes, CHINA!).
First dinner on the deck
Annie set the table special, created a menu, and served us up (what Paul cooked) restaurant style.
First dinner on the deck
It was relaxing and delicious!

First dinner on the deck
And, it turned into a little photo shoot. First dinner on the deck
Annie, show us how you really feel about me taking photos! LOL! First dinner on the deck
There was a fancy dessert.

And of course, the real prize was the fun time just hanging out and being silly.

Photographing lettuce makes me strangely happy.  The lighting, color, texture, and shape of it - LOVE!  Been on a "green smoothie" kick around here.  This is a shot of the Boston lettuce included in today's smoothie.  Yum!
