Looking out my Window with Benji
Facebook reminded me that 9 years ago, this was the view from my office window. It was Benji’s first snow. There’s been no snow yet this winter, but we still enjoy looking out the window. “Right, Benji?” “Of course, Sue.” This morning, I replenished… Continue Reading “Looking out my Window with Benji”

Taking a Break with the Birds
It’s a beautiful fall day and I’m inside doing paperwork. Time for a break. The birds had the same idea and were everywhere. The Robins were most plentiful. Handsome. Friendly and inquisitive.

We were walking in a park near our home today when a dozen *eagles came from nowhere and soared overhead, on a mission to somewhere. The most I’ve seen in the sky at once – though I couldn’t capture them all on my phone… Continue Reading “Welcome October!”
