And always, my dock to welcome me home. Silly, perhaps, how something so "common", so basic, can be so grounding in a world that surprises with twists and turns.


From 6" twigs to (many) over 6 ft tall, our little trees continue to amaze us with growth spurts. In only three years we have the beginnings of a forest on our east property line. This will afford us a little more cool shade as well as privacy from the neighbor.

My deck chair requires only my presence.

The mornings back at the lake gifted us with sunlight bursting through windows, calls of the loons, and the only other noise the rustling of the Poplars at waters edge.
