Anticipation
Hills, valleys, mountains, and tunnels were all behind us as we arrived at my cousin’s home in West Virginia. The sun was setting as we toured the garden and the newly completed art studio and woodworking shop behind their house on the east end of Charleston. We soon gathered folding chairs and headed to the […]

Gracie, the Golden, is curled in front of the sofa with her nose touching nearly each of her four feet. In the quiet of this morning a daily devotional reading inspires the thoughts of putting Christ like desires into action. With granddaughter sleeping later this morning there is ample time to ponder the gracious presence […]

Gusts of wind and rain drenched the landscape and the garden bringing needed water and unwelcomed blows. Unsecured flower pots and light weight […]

The Procedure
The timing was right. Arrival at the kiosk adjacent to the MRI rooms gave enough time to complete the patient surveys and sit for less than a minute before being called to an office also serving as a dressing room. Instructions to remove all items from my pocket were useless since my pants had to […]

The Blossom
At the dawning of the sun the mist was rising from the surface of the pond. Miss Gracie the Golden was searching for a suitable spot to deliver her morning deposit as the sounds of grackles and crows were distracting her. Suddenly from the depths of the valley below the pond, a gobbling warning from […]

Description Defied
A snooze button served to be the extender of a few more minutes of sleep. Alas, the morning was calling and the day’s agenda began to unfold. Memories of a productive and warm weekend with family and friends serve as thankful fodder for a new day in a new week. Sitting in the comfort of […]

The glare of the bright morning sun streams through the kitchen window illuminating all in its path. A brightness not experienced other times of the year is shown in the kitchen space as summer is nearly upon us. As I gaze at the space occupied as the kitchen I recall the original room as it […]
