The Days of Summer...

Today is a day of sunshine and soft breezes in St. Albans, Vermont. Although the myriad and many details of life crowd in on me, I feel blessed to be able to have some time to sit by the shores of Lake Champlain. I am so glad to be home!

Beloved Hank, a man with a big heart, always dependable and ready to help or lighten the load, passed away a few days ago...we will miss your presence, Hank so much.

Always it seems, we are balancing the celebrations with the sorrow, the heaviness with lighter news. A beloved friend or family member dies, a new life is born or encountered for the first time. This balancing of it all never seems to end.
