Creation
Safety, Trust, and Beauty
Yesterday I took a drive up to the cabin. The weather was just perfect – sunshine, blue skies, and some of the leaves on the Aspen trees were just starting to change. I took my time getting things ready as I planned on staying a couple of days. By the time I left, it was […]
Gardens
For the past couple of days, I have had conversations with people about their gardens and have seen social media posts from other friends. It seems that most who live in this area have been struggling with their vegetables this year. Perhaps due to the extreme fluctuating weather – very wet, then very hot and […]
Beautiful Drive
This morning, I woke up early again at the cabin to an interesting sound. At first, I thought it was a siren. Then I heard yipping dogs. I concluded it was coyotes. I went out on the deck and listened to them. The sound seemed to be coming from the valley just across the road. […]
Bear Investigation
My brother and I have been doing a lot of cleaning at the cabin. Yesterday he loaded up his truck with a couple bags of stinky trash to take down to the community dumpster. Unfortunately, they had already closed. So, the trash stayed in his truck overnight. Before we went to bed, we discussed what […]
A Serene Moment
I am spending a couple days at the cabin with my brother. I got up pretty early this morning and walked with my brother and his dog. It was so peaceful and still. The air was crisp and fresh with the smell of rain on the trees. After our walk, I sat on the upstairs […]
Cool Air
It has been so hot lately. I have been able to open the windows in the morning for maybe a couple of hours but then have to close up the house and run the air conditioner most of the day. Last night, a cold front blew through and cooled things down significantly. It was so […]
Animals At Dusk
A few weeks ago, I decided to purchase a membership to our zoo. I love going there and the cost of the membership would pay for itself in only a few visits. This evening the zoo was open after hours for members, so I decided to go. It was a very popular event, but even […]
Morning Hike
I have been doing a few things with a singles social group from the church. There is a lot of going out to lunch, which is not really a favorite thing of mine to do. I enjoy chatting with the people who go, but it costs money, and I would rather do something more active. […]
God’s Rock Formation
My brother and his dog have been here for several days. His dog was having some stomach problems, which took a couple of days to resolve. She has had more energy and seems to be feeling better now. So, today we decided to enjoy the outdoors. It had been a long time since my brother […]
Pet Detected
A while ago we put some cameras at the cabin to keep an eye on the place. I have always hoped to see some wildlife and get excited when I see a deer or bunny. Today I received the notification “Pet Detected”. Since my brother was there with his dog, I figured it was them, […]
