Families in Holiday Light



"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof."
RICHARD BACH, Illusions


As the holidays traditionally bring families together, the provide us with a lovely opportunity to reflect of the meaning of family, love, joy and friendship. The photo is of my "extended family", my college roomate's niece and her children. The baby is Mary Francis who had a rough time coming in but is doing well now.

Fall's Fading Light


Cold, sunny afternoon
Raking large piles of leafs
The English walnut tree let them all go
Hard work with immediate results
Ready now for the snow
