“You may seem alone but you are not, for there are always eyes watching you.  All the wildlife of the woods, the insects, birds, and animals, are well aware of your presence no matter how softly you may tread, and they follow your every move although you cannot see them.”  ~Thalassa Cruso

Sunset years

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.  We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream.  It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”  ~Ronald Reagan

A yellow glow

Last week, a storm passed through our area right before dusk.  As the setting sun hit the retreating clouds, it created a stunning yellow glow.
