NH moment

P1000717 (1)

New Hampshire on an early morning walk.  It is May, I’m taking my time enjoying the fresh morning air, not thinking about anything else but the moment.

Only now am  getting to see some of the pictures I took during our time away. A holiday is time for me to wander, some pictures were taken with my Lumix, others with my iPhone.  Slowly I will get to them, for tonight, I wanted to drop in and say hi… I’ve missed you all.  It wasn’t till we were on our way back today that I gave in and bought an Acer Notebook, sorry to all you Apple peeps, I simply can’t work away on an iPad like I can a Windows/PC…

You won’t see a lot of sunshine, just a lot of fresh mountain air, and the fresh new buds of new sprouts. When the windows were open we could hear the crystal clear water cascading down the mountain side through the gorge.  Looking out from out two side windows, all we saw was the drop down to the forest floor.  Already the bears have started to stir, one guest who stayed in one of the back “cabin/rooms” saw a bear wandering in the wooded area, in back of the Inn a few days before we arrived.  We were advised not to let our dogs off leash or unattended.

We did drive down one day into the southern part of NH, where the bigger cities are, we didn’t stay long, a few hours. that was all we needed before we high tailed it back up north into the National Forest area, where we were staying,  Holidays are never long enough, but, we know we will go back, and really, I missed being home, and chatting with you.  Go figure. I love my time with you.  Makes me feel good.  Now I’ll be able to catch up on what you all have been doing.

It is late in the day, but to all the Mother’s out there, Happy Mother’s Day.

snow moment

Snow what a  blessing

from above, crystals

with prisms that catch the light

an art form,

that can  dazzle and delight

bear,brown

it is true, we can’t fall asleep

in plain sight,

enjoying the sun the same way

we can in summer

oh, but other delights await us

and the winter fun can begin

the slops are being groomed

snowshoes  are being readied

I can smell the baking pies

and anticipate the wonder

in the children’s eyes

the    happy smiles

when they fly down a hill

all bundled up, on their first toboggan ride

oh dear.. there is always

an old bear, who wants us to know

winter or not

he will have his time in the sun

truth be told

he is right of course,

no matter the season

there is never a  good reason

to get out and enjoy

the day no matter what

I for one

will wear my new dress

and have fun

Lost and Found

X nov 23b_007Lost to us is the simplicity of yesterday

Lost is the innocence of your younger years

X nov 23b_001Lost is the time when we were happy to simply explore and enjoy the world around us, where everything was new, being friends meant secrets shared and fun and laughter was just being together, free to play out our dreams and fantasies.

Where are those moments now?  Do you still cherish your dreams, do you make time for that young boy/girl you once were..

X nov 23b_013Today I found a quiet place, far away where nature was at play, and the day was playing out like a long forgotten song.  I watched while a bear patiently waited for the fish to come her way, I heard the sea gulls call out as they flew across the skies.  In the distance, I spied a small cottage waiting to be discovered.

X nov 23b_009To my surprise, as I got closer, I saw two chipmunks sharing nuts on the porch.  I’d found a bit of paradise and it was all mine to enjoy.

X nov 23c_002For a time anyway – after all, happiness and beauty should be shared.  Today I found a quiet corner, a place where imagination and dreams can be relived.  Link will follow at the end of this blog.  It isn’t enough to do things just to make yourself happy =^_^=  I did meet a fellow traveler while I explored.  He too was taking in the beauty of the build.

X nov 23b_006Like two ships that pass in the night, we exchanged greetings and moved on, each respectful of the other’s space.  No matter we were in the same place, our photographs I’m sure were very different.  Just like in life, even when we stand shoulder to shoulder and look out at the world, each person will draw their own impressions.  That is what makes life so interesting.
