Hen in a box

This hen stayed in her nesting box as I worked around the chicken pen and the chicken coop late this afternoon. She had gathered four different colored eggs beneath her, none of which were hers.… 

Little Princess

They say that a princess is born into royalty. I am not recognized by any state. But I am most definitely a head of state, a state of awe. And I have two amazing daughters,…

It’s Only March

Earlier this morning I went out to clean up the driveway. It was 12°F and I needed to rearrange some of the 15 1/2″ inches of fresh snow that fell yesterday. It only took a… 

Boys Will Be Boys

Last night, there were two of us. Two grown men, both in our late 40’s, hanging out to watch a game. We watched, and watched, and watched some more. Then more than 4 hours after we started watching the pre-game coverage, an eruption.

Forever Rest In Peace

Today we come together to remember one of us, one held so dear.

I implore you to ensure that her sweet, smiling spirit ne’er disappear.

On My Mind and More

We Miss You Mrs. Tefft

Wendy Tefft (1977-2106).

Wendy Tefft, 38, of Dunbarton, died September 1 2016.

Wendy taught Kindergarten at Glen Lake School in Goffstown NH, where she was employed for two years.

 

Tomorrow, another school year begins in Goffstown, NH. Yet, tonight, for the third time in four days, I was stopped in my tracks when I saw the obituary for Mrs. Wendy Tefft online. We all should be seeing her tomorrow, standing out front, smiling, and greeting all. Imagine how long the list of accolades and kind words would be if Mrs. Tefft hadn’t been taken so soon. We were some of the fortunate ones that got to feel her impact. We all will miss her here in this community.

Precisely Vague

I am not sure where to begin. I started here because this is where the top of my page begins. But maybe, I should start from the bottom because some things feel like they’ve just recently been turned upside down.

Emblematic Moment

The poem.

Reasons, they fall apart in the face of the truest desire.
But excuses, they pile up in the corners where dreams did aspire.

Good Bye Inchworm

I wasn’t ready for what I watched today, I had heard but not known. Found, not a mile from the trail as the crow might have flown.

52 Years

This year, August 15th would have been 52 years of marriage for my Dad and Mom. Dad was taken home on April 14th this year. I miss him. Thinking of Mom, and Dad on this…
