  1. derrickjknight – UK – I am an octogenarian enjoying rambling physically and photographing what I see, and rambling in my head as memories are triggered. I also ramble through a lifetime's photographs. In these later years much rambling is done in a car.

    Nice landscape, still very wintery where you are, but yes spring is gestating!

  5. pastpeter – Sometime Senior Scientist, sometime Senior Pastor, now senior citizen, happily retired and living once again on Long Island, New York – the place people always want to leave but always come back to. Our retirement years have taken Marian and me to mid-coast Maine (A Maine Winter), to the New Hampshire Lakes region (A New Hampshire Journal), and then back to Long Island, where we had spent the 17 “best years of our lives” (Past Pastoring). We loved the north country, but are so glad to be “Home” (Long Islanders).

    Days seem longer in grey late February, as though winter will never end. Then comes a 50deg day, and patches of grass appear!

  6. I’m working through a “Five Phases of Healing’ course at Herbmentor and I LOVE that the instructor tied various cycles from winter (rest, getting ready) through to late fall (diving deep into earth to ‘mine’ the riches) in order to burst forth next spring – – your pic and quote seemed so serendipitous to what I’m ‘plowing’ through in education right now (while plowing through removing snow with the shovel, during breaks – – LOL)

  7. judybarton – Still in love, complicated, almost stupid, interested to recognize herself. "Up to the age of eighteen years old everybody writes poems; after, only two categories of people may continue to do it: poets and idiots." (Benedetto Croce). Obviously I do not consider myself a poet.

    It’s really as you say! And all we know it, and all we so often do not remind it…
