It couldn’t be helped, I had to buy a home in Tillamook. Ice cream, cheese, lush valley, cows, stone’s throw from several beaches, rivers full of fish.
Heaven.

The Road Less Traveled
Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. ~Robert Frost
Be
[From Jonathan Livingston Seagull]
“Be”
Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet’s eye
You may find him
If you may find himThere
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet’s eye
You may find him
If you may find himThere
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may
Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
And the one God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the sun
God will make for your way
And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul,
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it
While the sand would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus
Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the one God will make
for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way
Pink!
Ezekiel 7:10
“Behold the day, behold, it is come! The morning is gone forth, the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.”
Sleigh Ride, Leavenworth Washington
There are multiple places that host horse drawn sleigh rides in the city of Leavenworth. It’s enjoyable enough to be added to anyone’s bucket list. The scenery was quite lovely and I took my work team out with me so it was great fun.

Leavenworth Wa Holiday Retreat
For New Years I fell right smack dab into the middle of a snow globe! Leavenworth is a small Bavarian Village that reminds me very much of Midway, only Leavenworth has about a million twinkling lights and dusted beautifully with snow. We went on a traditional sleigh ride replete with warm cider and creek and meadow crossing (literally went through the woods) then came back into town to watch children (and adults) sledding in the pavilion in the extreme cold. We at at Visconti’s Italian restaurant which was a warm and delightful experience.
Oh, I like chocolate so the Chocolate Factory gets top billing. 😀
I will post the sleigh ride in a separate post.
Bison Neighbors
Lots of people talk to animals. Not very many listen, though. That’s the problem. ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

Come hither, my friend
Finger waves whisper to me

The heart is the perfection of the whole organism. Therefore the principles of the power of perception and the soul’s ability to nourish itself must lie in the heart. ~Aristotle
