The Other Side of Life—Wednesday, December 7, 2016

I think, sometimes, of what could be on the other side of life….

It seems strangely quiet, although there are night sounds, we just don’t hear them in tones of ‘day ears’.  The night is full of thick shadows, but the day sky is full of clear light.  If we are lucky we can see the soft brilliance of the winging Canada geese.

It is in this spot of time I can I look into something that is a place of peace.   If death lies there, in that place, then I too, can say the other side is stunning.

From my world to your heart!

A Photo Gift from the Black Forest in Colorado—Monday, February 15, 2016

How lucky I am!!  How lucky you are!  Elaine sent me two photos from her mountain home in the Black Forest, Colorado.

Snow-at-Elaines

The first is a photo of the mighty snow they have this year.  She writes that their greenhouse has made it through, although, her husband has had to continually go out and sweep the snow off of it.

Pike's-Peak

The just across the way she took a photo of Pikes Peak, looking south west from Shoup Road in the Black Forest.  Pikes Peak, American’s Mountain.

The world is beautiful place!

Your friend,

Linda
