June’s Greening and Golding

Snow Peas

And just like that, June rolled in on morning gold, greening everything along its path if you’re so inclined to see it that way.

Which seems right even knowing that we don’t see things as they are but rather as we are.

Life works a bit better that way I think.

Memorial Day, Celebrated, 2023

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." —Winston Churchill

As we do on this day each year, we pause to remember the men and women who died fighting for our freedom.

We stand by humbly, gratefully, silently, to honor their sacrifice.

We mourn for those lost…

And we mourn for those they’ve left behind

As we reflect once again on the the steep price of freedom.

By all means, enjoy your picnics, parades and celebrations today – it is a holiday after all. But do pause to remember and honor all the brave Americans across the centuries who have sacrificed their lives in the fight against tyrants, tyrannies and terrorists;

the enemies of freedom who will always be amongst us and will always be a threat to liberty. God willing, America will always be there to vanquish freedom’s adversaries. 

Wishing all a tranquil, thoughtful and reflective Memorial Day this year.
