Doors to Winter Wonderland

15 Mar

Doors

Taken at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake. These were just doors. Nothing special. In the summer, I assume they are open to allow guests out to the pond, or the nature trails. On the blustery day that I visited, they were our protection from the icy, swirling Adirondack winds and snows. I love that warm brown color.

The Wild Center is a wonderful place. I noticed that they are hiring, too. What a wonderful place this must be to work! I’m sure many budding young naturalists have made their careers in such places. It’s a quiet, thoughtful, and very beautiful place. I’ve never been a “science” person, but I’ve always loved nature and God’s beautiful creation. How wonderful it would be to come to such a place every day, and get paid, even!

Conversation With My Son

27 Jan

The kids have their computers in various places in the house. We keep in contact through an instant messenger (its better than yelling). My 16 year-old, who had been with me for the longest time in the living room, was recently moved to a desk in the dining room. He is relatively new to instant messenger, and is still learning the ropes in making quick, succinct messages. We had this conversation today…. kind of…. the IM doesn’t show it, but the time lapse between his responses to mine were about 20-30 seconds. That’s nearly an eternity in IM-time. lol.

LOL. This was taken by my daughter. She just LOVES taking those action photos, doesn’t she! Good heavens, WHERE does she get that WEIRDO sense of humor from?! It must be from her father!

I also think my son has been playing “2Xtreme Snowboarding” a TAD too often these days….
