February - This and That (and Lucinda B Rabbit)


Over the last 3 days, we received 2 1/2' (76.2 cm) of snow.
Bob was outside moving snow all morning.

my touring skis point toward Red Mountain.

We woke just as dawn was pinking the southern sky.


The Moon was still casting a glow.
We expect more snow over the next couple days.
We depend on winter snowpack during summer wildfire season.


Some of my long-time blog friends remember Lucinda B Rabbit.
She was often featured on my other blog Live and Learn (now private).
She celebrated a birthday recently.


I helped her blow out her candles.
Since she is ageless, she prefers not to reveal which birthday we celebrated.


A 12 year old girl in our neighborhood is raising chickens.
She brought me some eggs recently.


They're almost too pretty to eat. (Almost....)

Snow, Lucinda, and gifted eggs are my One Good Things today.

Lucinda wants to remind all her friends that 
(sometimes)...
"It's good to be bad!"

Thanks for visiting!

PS In January I celebrated my 15 year anniversary post heart attack. If you're at all interested click on "heart attack" in labels. I mostly posted on the Live and Learn blog but have a few posts on One Good Thing describing my experience.

Goodbye January


Winter provides a spectacular backdrop for sunsets over the Tenmile Range.


In the morning, I watch the moon hang over Imperial Peak.
My routine is to sit and have coffee as I read emails and plan my day.


We spend as much time as possible outdoors.
I walk for an hour or more while Bob downhill skis.
It's necessary to wear spikes on my hiking boots to get traction on ice and snow.
At 80, we're committed to keep moving.


We enjoy having family visit.
It seems quiet when they leave.
Our grandchildren are all young adults now except the youngest who is 12.
Luckily, they no longer need my supervision!


As blue washes the landscape, I say goodbye to the day.
There is often a splash of alpenglow on Red Mountain.

The panorama of Nature is my One Good Thing today.
I hope wherever you live in the world, Nature offers you beauty.
