Rain, rain…

…come today, and stay awhile so the ducks can play. I mean that seriously. We live on a natural preserve, who’s water fluctuates with how much rain we have. Over the past 10 years we have less and less water which means less and less wildlife. The ducks, and egrets, coot hens, herons, storks, sandhill […]

Memorial Day Is…

…a day of remembrance.  Although we associate Memorial Day with being a welcoming three day week-end that heralds the beginning of summer with people going to the shore, municipal pools opening and the barbecue masters of the house firing up the grill, it is a day we should first and foremost honor those brave men and woman who have died in […]

A 2012 Repost of a Mother’s Day phone calls…

Thank goodness a Mother’s love is all forgiving.  I feel I have to write this, as there is a special person in NJ (now in Charlotte NC)checking in to see if I would mention this.  Would I really want the world to know her son did not call on Mother’s Day.  His  flowers arrived early on […]

Stay calm…

…and carry on. My days have been just a little frazzled lately, nothing earth shattering but today I’m getting a little closer to screaming, more so than I have in the past.
