robin standing on rooftop singing

Welcome, welcome, little stranger,
Fear no harm, and fear no danger;
We are glad to see you here,
For you sing “Sweet Spring is near.”
Now the white snow melts away;
Now the flowers blossom gay:
Come dear bird and build your nest,
For we love our robin best.

I just love the beautiful windows at Duke University’s chapel.


Piercing through the blue ridge mountains again as we return to the north. Thanks for sharing your beauty, North Carolina.


Durham, NC offered a splendid night on the town with great drinks, food, and ice cream. Perfect for catching up with family under a long and beautiful sunset.


Had a beautiful drive through Ohio and West Virginia for a spring break weekend with family in North Carolina.


Trying to take a lesson from my cat to search for the light, no matter how small.

The robins have returned, right on cue. Their song is a welcome pronouncement of warmer weather.

ART!!
Enjoying a lovely evening at the Detroit Institute of Art.


Immensely enjoyed Wayne State’s Jazz Big Band concert tonight. (My nephew is in there playing trumpet.) I spent the whole evening with a smile on my face and my foot tapping.


💿Few things bring as much joy as rescuing musical treasures from the thrift store and adding them to my collection. My daughter, who has never known life without internet, views my CD ripping like I’m a doomsday prepper.


🌶️ Homemade chili crisp ended up being easy to make, has none of the sugar they add to the commercial stuff, and is way, way less expensive.


Enjoying some Caturday while I rip some thrifted CD’s into my computer like an old man.


Today’s winter storm warning is no exaggeration. Everything was green an hour ago.
