Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
For the past two weeks, I’ve been sharing doors from the towns of Lexington and Burlington, Massachusetts. As you might expect, I took pictures of more doors than I shared. Accordingly, I have some leftovers to share today. The door I chose to feature is the West School in Burlington. Originally one of four one-room... Continue Reading →
February seems bound and determined to make sure we understand that it is part of winter. Not the month before spring. Not the gateway to the pasture where March will come in like a lamb. Winter. “I am Winter!” Yeah, yeah, Febs, we get it. Most every nice-weather day, two coworkers and I walk for... Continue Reading →
Saturday’s post about the book “Ocean Station” had originally been scheduled for today. It’s not like it caught me off-guard (no pun intended), as I made the decision to tell that story from the bar the previous week. That’s how it goes with SoCS, you say something, and you get committed and if you edit... Continue Reading →
Perhaps that should include “Part-II” since I think I’ve posted doors from Burlington, MA before, but who’s counting?

Hill has given us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘affirm.’ Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!” If we were... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Stream of Consciousness Saturday, when we visit the bar, have some conversation and try to score some bonus points. Linda G. Hill has given us a head-scratcher today: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘ad/add/AD (Anno Domini).’ Use one, use ’em all–bonus points if you fit them all into...

Monday was cold – we enjoyed a high of 5°f (-15°c) which lasted for about 8 minutes before dropping back to 4 and then heading south of the zero. Tuesday started out above zero, but not by much. Maddie was having a difficult time conducting “business” in the yard. Sunday’s storm ended by depositing a... Continue Reading →
I’m not sure how many times something has to happen before it’s a tradition, but Faith and I have been going to Old Sturbridge Village’s Christmas by Candlelight event for several years, so I’m calling it. We got lost one time, because we were following the instructions of both Greta and some iPhone-based GPS –... Continue Reading →
