We were honored, this past year, to have good friends from Chicago and New Jersey and Canada and Connecticut visit our home. Fortunately the weather cooperated too, at least for the most part, which isn’t always the case. So, for instance, this is the view our visitors had from our back porch last October…
Right now, the view is dramatically different (and I really should get myself a digital camera sometime in the near future) – ice and snow and only the pine trees still have their green needles, so there are more bare trees than you can shake a stick at. But in its own way it’s still beautiful and breath taking.
And even when the landscape is cold and frozen, it’s hard not to know that it’s always changing. That spring will be back in less time than it takes to think about it and then summer and autumn again will come and go. This is the start of my fifth year here at my not-so-new-anymore home and I can’t always work that fact, that that much time has passed already, into my head.
Maybe because it’s so much easier to just look out my backdoor and get lost in the moment…
Peace

Can 6 months of this make up for 6 months of not this? Yep. Beautiful!

Man that is a gorgeous landscape to look at. I am jealous!

I’d love to say thank you for the compliments, but I truly had nothing to do with the view! Except for getting to see it on a daily basis.
I’m hoping to have a few Guitar Noise Seminars here in the fall, so maybe you can see it in person.
Peace
