Good Friday, and it has been a good day. I took the dog for a hike on the hillside today, INCREDIBLE the vibrant green colors that span for as far as my eyes can see. I didn't take my camera (dang it!) but did take in the view. We returned home along the bend in the creek near our house. There is a pond there, and the sun was shining just so that the trees were reflected in the water...it was incredible. What a wonderful way to begin Good Friday-in amazement of how beautiful the world can be, how peaceful and inviting. Had I thrown responsible out the door, we would have sat there a bit and just watched the ducks, the water, the view. But duty called, and I had to return to my reality. Tomorrow morning, we'll journey over together again, with my camera and hopefully I'll have some incredible shots to share!
Today's photos are simple.. a photo of an easter greeting on the sidewalk, something to send along to a friend... to let them know I'm thinking of them.
And a photo of Dale, this is our friend who stops in to visit EVERY DAY at 12:50pm, bringing with him a bag of Dark Chocolate M&Ms, a quarter and one hard candy- in a zip lock bag for the Mop Top! He started bringing M&Ms when she was about 18months, and onl
y recently added the quarter when she shared that she is saving quarters for college.... Dale is a fun 83 years old. He was my daughters very first friend~ the relationship they have is incredible. When I say he lives for this little girl, it isn't a saying, I mean it. If he doesn't get to visit with her, there is a lag in his step. He is slow to go most days, but you put that little girl in the window smiling and waiting for him to come along and he is zipping down the street. He never had children, married five times and no children. He divorced five times. He hasn't any family locally, so we've adopted him, or he adopted us! Either way, he is a wonderful addition... and I'm happy to introduce him to you here... He'll be in more photos and stories to come, I'm certain!
