Sunday Stroll: Contrasts


My son and I are staying in town, 
where we can walk to school
and the beach
and the library
and market
when it isn’t “ten below.”





On the weekends,
I head out to the farm
for a little while
so I can run with the wolves...
or the husky, 
as the case may be.

Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you peace.

Sunday Stroll: Happy Trails


Winter blooms

The luminous moon rises.


Light falls in the west, 
but still we run.



Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you happy trails.

Winter has fallen on these northern hills.

A Long Quiet Autumn



I have been so quiet here, I know.  I have not posted a Sunday Stroll in so many weeks, though I have walked in the quiet places that offer peace.  I have not been taking my technology along on my walks, nor spending much time online, other than working on the classwork for my master's course.

I have been living a lot, thinking a lot, reading a lot... just not spending much time at the keyboard.  I hope to return to the "writerly life" this fall, as I complete a short book of memoirs and dive into a work of fiction for the annual "NaNoWriMo" event.  Do you know about it?  It is a great deal of fun and a wonderful challenge for those who like to write.

If anyone is still out there reading, I appreciate you.  I will be back to reading blogs soon too.

Sunday Stroll - Approaching Autumn


It is late in the season, but this summer's snapdragons are still going strong.


These beautiful daylilies have also been blooming for a long stretch of sunny days.
The first four plants to bloom have been down for a while,
but the dog bit off the stalks on this plant early in the summer. 
I was sad when it happened,
but now that I have daylilies blooming in September,
I am counting my blessings!


The wave petunias are still the stars of the show 
at the edges of the garden,


and the Autumn Joy sedum is beginning to blush nearby.

'

Roses are blooming... again,


and the antique Hungarian baby baths
 that we planted with herbs
are filling in with greenery and color.




The bees are still busy,
and so are we.
It is a good kind of busy.


Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you peace.
