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.

St. Albans! Family home since 1974; a place I still go to see brother and his family (check out Wood's Tea Company, his folk band) and commune with my late parents in the family homestead up on the hill toward Hardack.
Henry Ward Beecher thought that the view from the ridge was one of the best in the world. On a good day, early morning or early evening, I am tempted to agree. To see the Lake Champlain framed by Adirondacks and the good blue sky is about as good as one could wish.
In re your musings, check out Harriet Plimpton in Great Occasions. It's all been said and done before, no doubt. But it's all brand new every day.
