A Bit Of Summer 2017

Not much left in the yard; since Mrs. Reeley has been gone!

Still Kicking!

Thought I'd better post something new.
Still alive, folks!

Tired of looking out!

Bring on Spring!

Didn't last too long!

The blooms, on the trees. I've been around for a long time!

Great Smoky View

Lucky me. I was in the NC Great Smoky Mountains during the recent 26 hour power outage in good old Savage Maryland.

Labor Day

Labor Day is a special kind of portal in the calendar year.
Pools close and schools open. More than the first day of spring or even Memorial Day, Labor Day is the slamming of the door on one season and the beginning of another.
A new school year is a fresh start in a way that New Year's Day cannot match. It is new shoes and a new teacher and a chance to begin again. Even if your children are grown and gone, the first day of school still has that hint of promise.

Above, Shrine of the Little Flower Catholic School in Baltimore Maryland. Twas my grade school and that of many of the kids that I coached over the years. Now they call it the "Green School". Go figure. The good sisters are turning in their graves!

Ray at important staff meeting.

I said OK every 30 to 60 seconds and the management was happy!

Sun Will Return Soon!

Breaking on through!

Beautiful day!

Nice evening shot from my front yard garden.

New Yard Shot

May 7 2011 was a beautiful Saturday!

The Sun did come out!

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow!!!

Tommy & Ray At The Fire Drill

Tommy (L) sure enjoyed being there! It was a little cool; but I enjoyed the break.

Still Kicking

Going strong at 57, in the big town of Savage Maryland USA!

Wednesday Expression

Oh My!

Last night brought an icy mess, then heavy snow. We only got around 5 inches; but the white stuff did a real job on us.
It's a good thing that I live on the right side of the property, or i'd be in a real mess. May not have my favorite pastime tools.

Note from Saint Nick

"Always believe in Christmas because if you forget the baby and Rudolph and the elves and wishes, you will have lost your piece of that love that was designed to live in you alone forever. Continue to leave cookies out for me knowing that they will taste all the sweeter to those who eat them because you tell them that you recognize me in them. Most of all, keep me alive enough in your heart so that, when the day comes that you no longer read the notes but write them, you will still hear my voice in your heart to share with those young minds that you love too.
Merry Christmas every day of the year. I love you tonight and I will love you always."
