Silent Sunday

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. "

Louisa May Alcott

"Never look down to test the ground before your next step; only he who keeps his eyes fixed on the horizon will find the right road."

Dag Hammarskjold

"It's another gorgeous weekend here. Go out and enjoy the fresh air and try not to think about the piles of dirty laundry the start of the work week tomorrow. Also, if you're going to fix your eyes on and take steps towards the horizon above without looking down, you may want to consider wearing a flotation device."

Have a fantastic Sunday.

Happy July 4th.

Yes, I'm being lazy today and plan to stay that way all day long.

p.s. This was taken from Milford Haven near the Sea Breeze on a recent gorgeous evening.

Here we have another beautiful Queens Creek sunrise.

Well, it's Sunday once again. Ordinarily, I'd be approaching this day with dread and apprehension. Not that I have anything against Sundays, it's just that they precede Monday, which is the worst day of the week, followed by Tuesday and then every other day except Saturday Wednesday.

But today I welcome Sunday with open arms and a great big smile because I have tomorrow off! Now, that does not mean that I will be relaxing, no, of course not. There's grass to cut and beds to weed, but at least I won't have to drive in to work.

Hello, Sunday, come on in and make yourself comfortable. May I bring you a cold drink and a cheese plate? Here, sit down and relax. It's been a while, we have a lot of catching up to do.

Hope you enjoy your day to the fullest. I know I intend to.

A week or so ago, we went swimming at Cow Point just as the sun was going down. The Chesapeake Bay Children love Cow Point, which is at the mouth of our creek. It was a favorite stomping ground of mine as a child.

Happy Sunday and Happy Fathers Day.

About a week or so ago, an evening shower brought us a double rainbow. (The second one is barely visible in this shot.) A photograph cannot come close to illustrating how beautiful it was.

Similarly, there are no words which adequately convey how proud I am of the Chesapeake Bay Children and how much I love them.

Today I'll be driving down the Eastern Shore on my way home from Delaware. I'll probably arrive too late for any extended Chesapeake Bay Family Mother's Day festivities.

Chesapeake Bay Son is on his 8th grade trip to Niagara Falls, so it will likely be just me and Chesapeake Bay Daughter.

Which sounds perfect to me.

Happy Mother's Day.
