Day of Rest: A Few Weekend Pix

Blue skies and tree yesterday in my back yard:

Short Old Lady Story of this tree: No, I don't know what kind of tree it is. These appear to be some kind of nut. They're pretty, but they drop down and it's like standing under a spray of ball bearings. I know, right? Ouch.

Down on Fisherman Willie's lot.

Overall Bridge thru heart shape of trees.  :-)

River reflection.

Reflection of moon in water.

This a.m.'s sunrise. I was up v. early because SOMEbody was howling in her sleep.

Day of Rest

I think I can safely say that I'm not the only one ready for winter to be over! This is one of my favourite sights when I walk down to my postbox in the summer . . .

Fisherman Willie. :-)

When you're in the middle of the cold, you can use your summer memories to keep warm.

Confederate Snowstorm 2009

Went for a walk Sunday a.m. Neighbor Dave plowed on Sat. so it was only a foot to walk thru down the road!

Down my road.

What you don't experience is the exquisite silence. Snow softens and blankets the noise.


So that when I stopped to take this picture, I could hear the creek across the river babbling.

Down my road . . .

to the river. BEAUTIFUL.

Quote of the Day

The leaves look like ripples of water. Cool. See the heart?

Just learnt: tea made from birch leaves is gout remedy.

Those who dwell
among the beauties
and mysteries
of the earth
are never alone
or weary of life.
~Rachel Carson

Down by the river

One of my favourite things to see is Fisherman Willie . . . fishin'

What a catch!

This is from last summer: a 12-lb. catfish that I caught, but when Willie said I had to put my hands in its mouth to get a picture--well, you see there are no pictures of me with the fish! Another GLORIOUS day here in the wilderness--the smell of wild roses is wafting into my living room with a nice breezy breeze. :-)

P.S. I almost forgot (haha) Have a GREAT Memorial Day weekend!

Day of Rest: Down by the River

Hi Sweetie

We've had quite a bit of rain which means that my internet service is inconsistent. Yesterday, I couldn't get anything posted. Today: so far, so good! This is a shot down by the river. I was on the way to the postbox and here she comes....so sweet. Back tomorrow with a movie review of My Best Friend's Girl.
