Wild Goose Chase

Sharing the joys and beauty of the Morton Arboretum

with my parents.

So I've learned recently that they are Canada Geese, not Canadian Geese.  Still enthralled to see them in flight.

I saw these two paths cross and right away thought of Chris as our paths are intertwined in this life.

Christmastide

Not too many parents give their children 50 lbs of white rice and pinto beans on Christmas morning...but they should!  Our boys were enamored the entire day.

Our most treasured gift was having Grandpa Alan in town for Christmas.

Off the men trudge to the park to celebrate Christmas with the squirrels.

Ornaments, young and old:

Merry Christmas to All!  Christ is Born!

Ice Melt

“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” - Albert Schweitzer
