After heavy rain and continuing rain the afternoon sky was pretty yesterday afternoon. I love looking at the sky. I find it beautiful, mood setting and evocative. Here is what I captured Monday. I loved the lines and the contrast in colors as well. Today is a new day and I hope you look at your s

It is Halloween and thousands of pets are lost, injured or worse today. This is not a good day for pets period. Animals don't like to be dressed up, are uncomfortable, vulnerable and may not fare well in costumes. If you are home and greeting Trick or Treaters, please confine your dogs and cats t

Tomorrow is is a big and popular holiday, Halloween. It isn't a great day for me however because I have pups that are territorial and don't much care for company. Fortunately I live in a small town and on a street with no little kids. I enjoy watching little ones on the main street, and they are

The weather in western New England has been really stormy here for the last day and a half. At some point sitting in my family room with windows all around I saw a crow flying. I don't think I had ever seen a bird fly in heavy rain and wind before. I am not a fan of crows, in fact I have actually

It is a good day for me. I am waiting on friends from New Jersey who should be here by lunch time. Today will be a fun and easy and not planned day. We'll have lunch out and probably hit some local antique stores and decide on a plan for tomorrow. I think they want pizza for dinner so we'll go to

Today is one of those days when for no particular reason at all I am melancholy. Perhaps the weather, the dark and dank day out are contributors but I think not. Every morning as I rise I am grateful for my life and I am today too. I am thinking about those I love and those I miss who are no long

When someone is kind it makes my day. Today an old service guy from Time Warner (now Spectrum) returned my call and talked me through a process. No one else even acknowledged my problem was real. It reminded me that the smallest things you say or do can really make a difference to someone. In the

It rained a lot yesterday. It was a good thing because there hadn't been rain in the Berkshires for almost a month. Today it is cloudy but so far it is clear although not sunny. I have more work to do in my yard discarding the dead and dying annuals that still remain, and recycling the dirt. I ha
