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.
I used to play out on those storms as a young child, cause everyone else was too scared to come get me! We had lotsa lighting storms this week too, pushed out the humidity for a whole day now! The power even went out at work, that was fun, inspecting in the dark!
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.

That is an awesome picture.
The lightning says something to the thunder, and the thunder answers back.
Michele sent me!

Indeed! Great Picture!
By the way, I hide under the bed during storms. Under the bed where the dogs can protect me.
It's been an excellent summer for storms.
Really? You go under the covers? Cozy spot. I've been know to head to the nearest clearing. To the distress of dear mom.
