Memorial

“This would be her morning,

The dawning of her day,

When answering her seeking heart,

God would softly say,

“This world you’ve loved is fading,

But there’s much more yet to see,

Follow Me.

Follow Me.”

In loving memory of Judith Ann Caselli

July 2nd, 1936 – October 3rd, 2020

Road-side rite

“I’m not pining for summer,
I’m not anxious for spring,
And I’m not tucking in
For my long winter’s sleep;
I’m content to be here,
In this season I call,
A postlude to summer
Turned prelude to fall.”

A Baker’s Gift

Soon these two little gifts will be off to a new home.
What better use for vintage kitchen toweling and a 1930’s flour/feed sack?

Saranac Lake’s “Lake Flower”,

surrounded by the bloom of Autumn…

Psalm 108

**There was nothing in my mind or heart to distract me from the Glory of this mid-morning sky. “God, You are supreme above the skies. Let Your glory be over all the earth.” Psalm 108:5**

A rousing farewell

…this is my last hummingbird photo of 2020, as none have been seen since this photo was taken. This one is giving me a rousing farewell. HA! Maybe when the hummers return next Spring, the world will be a safer place to live and love all ’round.

A fall view of Lake Flower

in Saranac Lake…the year I’m unsure of, but may be sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s, but whenever the photo was taken, it looked to be a glorious day. As I recall, most of them were…

Duprey Street 1941

My Field of Dreams

1963…the Saranac Lake neighborhood of my youth with Baker Mountain rising in the distance. The photo was taken by my father who probably stood on what is Terra Drive today…

My winter-window view

Late 1950s-early 1960s This was our ‘winter’ view from our front window of our childhood home on Duprey Street in Saranac Lake – this hill was where we spent hours as children sliding on whatever was available – sleds, toboggans, corrugated cardboard boxes…even old wooden skis were resurrected for winter fun and shenanigans. But this photo, recently converted from a degraded color slide from Dad’s archives, was of particular interest when I noticed just yesterday the cross at the top left of the photo, hovering in the sky. It could be an anomaly in the slide… or is it?
