This is the first time I was actually able to get a decent photo of the moon. It was very early morning so the sky was not so dark, but there was that beautiful full moon. Moon
A view from a porch in Belmar, New Jersey. Perfect place to pull up a seat I happened to be sitting across the street from that row of chairs in my own seat! Pull Up A Seat
This bench faces the river on one side, and backs up to a pond on the other. Beautiful views either way, any season. Pull Up A Seat
I got home from work, checked the weather and it said this: So I did this… For a total of 3 miles. This is what the sky looked like… no filters, no enhancements, it was really that blue. Hope you all have blue skies too for your weekend!

The […]

This week Frank invites us to share something using the word Rose Roses seem to be most often thought of as red. A dozen red roses signifies love, and is always a popular choice for a bouquet. They do come in a myriad of colors. My grandfather loved roses and cultivated many bushes at his […]
Many Sundays I visit a park/garden overlooking the Hudson River in Riverdale, NY, called Wave Hill. The views are spectacular, the grounds are both flat and hilly, and there are spots one can disappear into to find a moment of quiet and solace. I love going there no matter the season. Spring and summer are […]
I was on winter break vacation from school this week. Yesterday my nieces came to spend the day. I have written about them before, here. We needed an indoor activity as it was pouring rain all day, and something besides shopping. We could always spend the afternoon shopping. We decided to go bowling. I have […]
Nurturing Thursday
Our Max (left) and Sammy. Both rescues, we brought Sammy home first and two years later wanted him to have a friend, so brought Max home. Max was game from the start, but Sammy made it very clear that he was the Alpha dog, and really wasn’t looking for a friend. He tolerated Max mostly. […]

Last year he joined NYLSO- the New York Late Starters Orchestra, a group of adults who came to learn an instrument later in life. This year […]

We were learning about Thanksgiving in my 3rd Grade class yesterday. After going over the traditions of Thanksgiving and how it started, the teacher asked if anyone had questions about the holiday. There were a few; do we have to eat turkey, can people celebrate if they are American and moved to another country were […]
and the sky is grey….that was what came to mind today as I walked through my favorite park. Overcast and grey, and cold!
My Uncle Henry died last Saturday. He lived a long life, to 94, married over 70 years to my Aunt, whom I’ve written about here, and here. The end didn’t come easy, he fell into the world of dementia in the last year, which was hard to watch. He had been a History teacher for […]

I have found the news of the last few days terribly depressing. The hate, the unrest, the deaths, hard as I try to block out the goings on in the political arena in the United States, it is hard to ignore the violence that keeps erupting. My friend, a musician, shared a post of herself […]
I spent Sunday afternoon at one of my favorite parks/garden- Wave Hill in Riverdale, NY.

The resident Mockingbird greeted me as he always does I walked the grounds enjoying seeing the many berries […]
