Springtime Reflections and Random Life Photos

-
In just a few short days it will officially be Summer so I thought it would be nice to reflect a bit on Spring. 

Springtime in southern Germany is beautiful.  The trees in bloom and the flower fields just make you feel good.  I've been taking random photos over the past few months.  Some were taken around the house or while traveling; others were taken with my low res camera phone on morning walks.  Figured I'd also give you a peek into our everyday lives with some random photos.
View from our front balcony - I love these trees.
On a drive through the countryside - these yellow fields are spectacular.
Corn is in the ground and off to a good start.
Private garden plots near one of the trails I walk a lot.
Really cool wooded path near our house.
One of my few companions on morning walks.
The cherry tree in our backyard in bloom.
Some of our cherry tree's fruits that I picked yesterday.
Bear admiring beautiful tulips that my friend Ally brought me.
From a second bouquet of tulips - loved the greenish pink color.
The center of this tulip was a beautiful blue but it didn't photograph well.
Roses in bloom around the neighborhood.
Loved this flower too but I don't know what kind it is.
Fields of amber waves
Tom checking out his new prized possession - his Saddleback Leather Co. bag.
Me and the boys enjoying a lazy Saturday morning.
Delicious corn bread made with green chilies that Tom's dad sent.
Bear doing a little lounging.
A little evening entertainment.
I owe everyone a blog on our trip to Normandy over the D-Day anniversary.  I'll be getting to that in the next couple days but wanted to post a pretty low impact blog.

The Letter I Never Wrote

A draft of this blog post has been sitting in my unpublished queue for many years now. You'll see that the book I start the post with is one I read in 2020. This post is about the death of my mother's oldest sister, my Aunt Almeda.   I noticed that death, grief, and illness were themes in some of my reading in 2023. I read John Gunther's Death Be Not Proud, Laurel Braitman's What Looks Like Bravery , Elizabeth Alexander's The Light of the World , Terry Tempest Williams' Refuge , Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking , and Suleika Jaouad's Between Two Kingdoms .   Recently I've found a lot of creative inspiration from Suleika Jaouad. There is a documentary on Netflix right now called American Symphony and she recently did a nearly 2-hour-long interview with Rich Roll for his podcast . I would strongly recommend both, as well as her book.  I got the feeling that now might be the time to complete this post. So, here it is.   *** The last book I r

Walking in History...Visiting Normandy during the D-Day Anniversary

This is probably a blog I should do in two posts but I'm going to try and do it in one.  I'll try to minimize my words and let the photos tell the story. Over World War II's D-Day anniversary, Tom and I traveled to Normandy on a 3-day USO tour.  It was a whirlwind, jam-packed trip that maximized every moment of what were 13 to 14 hour-long days.  I had been looking forward to the trip for months and believe that visiting that historic site during the anniversary is a trip of a lifetime.   In two-and-a-half days we visited three of the D-Day invasion beaches (Gold, Omaha and Utah); visited the American and the German cemeteries; visited Point du Hoc and Saint-Mere-Eglise; went to the Airborne Museum (although we didn't stay long because of the crowds) and the Museum of the Battle of Normandy (which is a VERY good museum); we saw the Longues-sur-Mer Gun Battery and concluded the visit at Pegasus Bridge.  If you've ever seen the movie "The Longest Day" it

The Joys of Nature Journaling

-

Last month I went to a daylong Introduction to Nature Journaling workshop led by Roseann Beggy Hanson of Exploring Overland and hosted at the Amerind Museum . I knew nothing about nature journaling ahead of the class. It just sounded like something that might complement my own personal journaling and the House Journal I've been keeping since we moved into the new house in February 2023.  In my House Journal I record seasonal observations from Dalrymple Ranch, as my girlfriend Sydney calls our place. Since I walk the pups 2-3 times a day, I notice when a type of wildlfower first appears or when a particular cactus blooms. I also try to note when we have snow or a big rain storm. And while I don't do it as regularly, I do record some wildlife observations too. Thanks to keeping my journal last year I learned that there is an order in which our cacti tend to bloom. Hedgehogs bloom before the prickly pear. Cholla bloom after the prickly pear have started and then barrel cactus
