Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It’s spring, I think. I know the Equinox has occurred, and the days are officially longer than the nights, but spring weather is never guaranteed in early April in New England. The last few years, it hasn’t really felt like spring around here until late May. One sure sign of spring, however, is the presence... Continue Reading →
I’m sure by now most of my regular readers know that my weekend routine includes a walk with Maddie. You’re also aware that I take as many photos as the dog will allow. What you may not know is that I like to imagine the conversations the birds and squirrels might be having. If that... Continue Reading →
I always wonder if there’s a limit to how many blog posts you’re allowed to squeeze out of one experience. I guess if it’s a major life-changing experience, all penalties would be waived, but if you try to write for the 4th time about going apple picking, you might raise a few eyebrows. Unless you...

This is Maddie talking, and this post is mine.

I guess those two warm days we had at the end of February constitute “in like a lamb” but it’s up to April to deliver the warmth and beauty of... Continue Reading →
On Wednesday, I threatened warned promised mentioned that I might share more of the photos Maddie and I have collected as the weather has turned warmer. I’m giving Maddie some of the credit, because she really has been patient with me. She loves to walk. Every now and then, as we’re waking, she stops, turns,... Continue Reading →
“It’s beginning to look a lot like spring” I know, spring began over a month ago, but not here. We had spring-like temperatures in early March, days with highs in the 70s and all that stuff. Then Mother Nature decided to trot out the lion March is known to go out as. Some very cold... Continue Reading →
“Take her out on a leash.” This past weekend, Maddie, the intrepid hunter, was all over something under the wood-racks. She would circle and circle; sniffing and pawing at the dirt. We kicked soccer balls and threw Frisbees to draw her attention, but each time she went out, she took off for those racks. On... Continue Reading →
