Just in passing

Packed up the car today for the Fiber Festival tomorrow.  It seemed to make sense.  We were there early, and gone in an hour.   

On the ride home, L wanted to take a side road.  She knows them all.  I kid you not.  

Today was supposed to be a wash, with rain, and more rain.  But it didn't happen all day.
The drive along the Hudson River was  peaceful and lovely.

There is nothing like rural Washington County, N.Y. to  calm my nerves.

This is a "portage" where boats had to be carried over land.

There are lots of interesting bridges  over the canal.

I had a phone call tonight, from a life long friend.  Her husband has cancer, and it has been a long 9 months.  

Sometimes, you can't tell what things are like from the outside.
Appearances can be deceiving.

All we can do is take life one day at a time, let life unfold.
And be grateful, for what we have.

Even if life is not perfect, it's what we have.  And it's a gift.

Having spent the better part of my life trying either to relive the past or experience the future before it arrives, I have come to believe that in between these two extremes is peace.  ~Author Unknown
