A Winter’s Walk on the GRT
It was just a winter’s walk along the trail. The temperature was 17F and there were snow flurries falling around me for most of the walk. I walked from behind the County buildings all the…

Falling Flakes
I still love my seasons.
NH Avalanche 2000 – The last month
Since the last write-up I posted regarding the 2000 NH Avalanche Bantam Major Elite quite a few things have happened. Christmas and New Year’s have come and gone. High School hockey seasons have started. Kyle…
True Freedom
Imagine true freedom. Boundaries only existing in the realities you face. Measurements only apply if you decide to keep track. Time kept by the season, not by the hour. Space measured by how far you…
Freedom
Timelessly aware. Infinitely distant. Contentedly attuned.
Another Use For Our Christmas Tree
This afternoon I spent three or so hours outside. It was cold I suppose, it did get up to 24 (F) degrees though. My first goal was to repurpose our Christmas tree which I put…

Where is your walk?
Recently I have been thinking about where my walk is leading. You know, my walk in life, where is it headed? I am not going to get into any details here, instead I am going…
God’s Plan – A Tribute to Marjorie Leech (Peterson)
It would be Marjorie’s Birthday today. Remembering her, but looking forward to our next meeting.
Dad, Turn Up The Heat
I wondered from the other room, why was the TV turned up so loud. I walked into the family room and this is what I saw… Maybe I just need to turn up the heat.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
My Favorite Day of the Year
Honestly, my birthday, December 23rd, is my favorite day of the year, besides Christmas Day. Mostly the reason is not about me, but about celebrating my birthday with family and friends while everyone is so…
The Old Farmer
The Old Farmer
I write sometimes too much, other times not quite enough
Getting the time, or room in peace to work can be tough
Before I wrote my most viewed piece, Destination Homestead
There was a man who taught me to use an axe in the shed
Before if was the right time to do my Generation Jumping
There was a man , well-read, his stories true, lacking nothing
I remember a guy who could dribble, and throw with either hand
He was there for The Hug, it’s my pleasure knowing this man
The December women, Janette and Marjorie ; both gardener’s
I love. I feel. I write. This too, I shared God Made a Farmer
Today is my birthday and as a present I’d rather share
Read on, if the words pull you, let them take you there
The following lines only begin to capture what I see,
In the fading clips my mind plays of how it used to be
But, if I could, I’d be there now, as it was, maybe inside
In the old north room, from icy wind you could not hide
Or perhaps I’d come down the old stairs just a bit
To smell the bacon, still my favorite I must admit
Settle in here and take this trip, maybe grab a partner
These are my heroes see, each one I call the old farmer
Mean What You Say II
Like each drop of water running through my favorite stream, your words to me matter I find they are tossed conveniently away though, often, my heart in balance, left to shatter Day after…
Pure Light
John 8:12…“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Mean What You Say
When I hear your words I want to believe I actually don’t think you purposefully deceive They say a man is only as good as his word So I try to mean all of the…
Impending Night
there’s a lump in my throat where a laugh used to be did the good times get away, or is that just me? there is ache where distant smiles war again to be recalled…
Reason number…I've lost count…why I love TSO
These are clips from shows that the Trans-Siberian Orchestra performed during last year’s tour. This year’s tour is different yet, still amazing. These clips capture just one song from one show from dozens of songs done in dozens of…

Mistreated
History telling. Abuse overwhelming. Ignorance quelling.
Triumph
Photography 101. The assignment was Triumph. I picked this picture because it kind of looks like a “T” for Triumph. Then I also like the picture, the memory attached to it (being in Northern Maine…
There In Every Show
I guess we could detach ourselves and say, to each, their own Then isn’t it the folks furthest removed that cast the first stone To obsess on anything is not the answer, even…
Double
Photography 101. I had to go with an older photo of our, now 4-year-old, twins. There’s no double that I love more than this double. The twins at one month old.
Edge
Photography 101. Again, I resort to a hockey theme here, or skating in general. It still amazes me that so much speed, power, control, and agility can be displayed on something as narrow as a…
