Live my life by the Desiderata, Golden Rule and gratitude. Believe Good is stronger than Evil & that the Arts remind us of that. Life’s too short: eat chocolate!

Good morning, my friend!

Honoring ALL who served.

Our local Boy Scout troop distributed grocery bags to everyone in our community, and then picked up any donations a few days later! We were happy to fill a bag for them. I love that the kids are getting involved too!

Good morning, my friend! A photo from our July #Berkshires trip of the railing going up into #TheWitGallery in #Lenox. I don’t know if the baluster artwork has a name but how about “Monday?” Or “Way Too Early?” Or “Too Great A Weekend?” Anyway, wakey-wakey, time to rise & shine!
And Happy New Week!

Photo taken in July, 2025: Metal and glass design that is part of the railing outside The Wit Gallery in Lenox, Mass. It depicts a lady with tousled hair and bloodshot eyes. Maybe someone not quite awake?! Anyway, if you collect modern art this is definitely a must-visit gallery.

Good morning, my friend! Every #FriYay you’re invited for a #respite in #mygarden. This week #MotherNature sends wind, rain & frost but it laughs back, “Do you even know who I am?” and puts on quite a show! #November #staystrong #bebrave #tenacity #livewell #BlazeofGlory @jonbonjovi.bsky.social

Japanese Maple, whose color goes from summer maroon to bright autumn fire!

Back deck forget-me-nots, daring you to. Favorite flower of someone special. And tenacious.

The new recipe sounds Yum to me. Apparently my invitation got lost in the mail.🤨

(I luv-luv Tom Ryan, btw. He’s “the Dude.”)

Oooo- get really good at it and then you’ll be the first “pool hall hustler” I’ll meet!!

Good morning, my friend! An oldie but goodie for #ThrowbackThursday. I’ve always done “first times” with joy. It’s more than #YOLO. It increases self-confidence, adds to skill sets/problem solving, and a conversation starter!
How about you?
