Beauty in our midst....








Cool temperatures descended today.  So my mother and I decided to go to the lake to enjoy lunch among the trees, geese, and sparkling blue water.





Today would have been my father's 89th birthday, so reminiscent of the many noon picnics we had with him, this was our silent tribute.  During the summers of my childhood Mom and I usually bought sandwich supplies, picked up my dad at Ma Bell, and headed to one of the parks.  We had to make it quick because I think he had only thirty minutes...  Later my son and I continued that tradition.




The cool breezes this morning reminded me of the beauty available right here in our midst.

Happy Birthday, Daddy...
