This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.

More snow
the weather is a rerun, this picture is representative of my view to the north.
Spring has sprung here. I'm so glad - while that is beautiful - I had enough snow and am lovin' this Spring stuff. I mowed today - took me all day but I enjoy it - so it's good :) Now, if I was in the city where I couldn't really experience Spring by mowing, gardening, etc... I may think differently.
I made fun of you in my comment on your last post, because I live in Florida, but I gotta tell you, having lived where it really does snow, I do miss it.
It's been wonky here in Ontario as well. I'm not sure why winter refuses to leave. Even today, the sun is out, but it's cold enough to make you think it's February.
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

Looks chilly. Much colder than here, where it's about 45 today. Hope it warms up soon!
It snowed here too. I wish it would stop.
It is gOrgeous! But all I can say is I am EVER so grateful that I am NOT where you are! :)
Mine's up!
Just to let you know, I have indeed prayed for you.
As for the snow...we don't have any still, though it did snow a bit mixed with rain last night...nothing lasted thankfully.

But not enought to move.
uh Joe, just so we are clear. Here we all make fun of people who live in Florida!
Finally somewhere colder than where I am.

Bleah!
