Wildflowers near some paddocks

My parents live in Chestnut Street. The tree to the left is a wild chestnut tree and it is already very green and blooming. The tree on the right is a planted chestnut tree. The difference is interesting.

Day 13 of the A to Z Blogging Challenge – Thoughts on Being a Nomad
Nature draws me to being a nomad. I LOVE being in nature, being part of nature and having nature provide for me. I respect the elements, am in awe of the natural world, appreciate the bounty of Mother Earth (the food, the sun, the rain, the sights) and indulge in her beauty.
It was a cold Saturday in March. Since it was the weekend, Mark and I wanted to take the dogs we are pet sitting for a decent walk in nature, as usual. An area we had not checked out yet since being here for almost three months, was Lake Waramaug.
Only a 15 minute drive away, we found what some call the prettiest lake in Connecticut. Continue reading
Often We Create Our Own Issues
Instead of creating joyful experiences
Doing the things we love and appreciate most
At our own pace; without stress and pressure

And life, while precious, is pretty short!

I will miss this guy!

On Saturday, the weather was right (a sunny 50°F) and Henry and Mickey were in the mood to join us (when are they not?) for another walk. We followed the GPS directions to Lover’s Leap in New Milford. Of course, I had forgotten to write the address down from my research on the computer, so we blindly trusted the computer voice in our car. My laid-back mentality about things like this will get me in trouble one day, but not yet. Continue reading

Ready for the Weekend to Start
A crisp start of the day
while Mark’s still away
He will be home soon
I think around noon
Decay on the ground,
but blue sky abound
Is spring in the air?
I do like to share
this gorgeous day off
with my American love.
