The grand view from our porch today...

Kind of makes me grateful for where I live.

Nature photo of the day: waking up to a snowy morning.

well, look at that, the snow is still here
it hasn't yet melted, 
but it will, don't fear
up here on the hill 
the view is always beautiful
whether it is sunny
or snowy
foggy and gray
or verdant with summer greens
or brown with the hues of an expectant spring
no matter the weather
it is always worth …
