MUSIC OF THE DAWN...

Finally the avian music is back, at the crack of dawn! How could I not greet the day with good cheer!

STILL RIDING ALONG WITH MY BOB...

On this most exceptional sunny morning, I had a fine excuse for riding out through the countryside.

I followed son Mark out to leave his big truck for tire installation, and the drive along Auburn Road to Chesterland was such a lovely way to go. It was always a favorite for my Bob and me. 

This morning, I enjoyed it FOR him, and in a sense WITH him, surrounded by memories of the countless country rides we enjoyed together through different seasons, over many years.

They were always enjoyed and appreciated.

THE SKY KEEPS ME COMPANY...

In this morning's darkness, pre-dawn, I saw the full moon  before daylight, and it was a beauty amid all those stars...

In the past few evenings, I have enjoyed seeing Jupiter close to the moon, like two prime pieces of jewelry...

Daytimes, I look for blue skies and sunshine; white schooner clouds; storm clouds and sunrise and sunset...

My friends know I look for such things, for the sky keeps me company, whatever its mood and whatever the season or hour...

FULL MOON 4 A.M. OVER MY VALLEY, MOVING THROUGH TREES TOWARD MOON-SET IN THE WEST..

IN THE SKIES IN THE EVENINGS, LATE APRIL, I HAVE SEEN JUPITER SNUGGLING CLOSE TO THE MOON
