Over the past few days, we keep walking down to the bluff that overlooks the creek. It’s so peaceful there. Even though the water is up a little, there is still a soothing sound of water running over granite rocks. Add to that the sounds of a happy dog bounding through fallen leaves and theContinue reading “A Walk in the Woods”

Simply sitting around a campfire and enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature instead of having city sounds encroach into our houseContinue reading “Giving Thanks”
Fall and yellow jackets
