August 20, 2024 – Hey where do we get wood from?

“Hey Mom, turnaround. – Look!!  There is the inside of a tree – it almost looks like someone could make wood out of a tree”

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE –take time to study the things around you – that is real learning!

August 18, 2024 – What a beautiful morning!

Thanks to my daughter, Heather, I am living this month in NJ in an apartment. The apartment is  in her house which is across from a nature preserve. I estimate the preserve to be 1500 acres. It has 5 miles of paved trails plus even more unpaved trails.   With a little help from PhotoShop,  I pretended to use a plant identifying app to confirm the poison ivy. The smart deer is telling me I should have identified the plants under my feet first – OH MY!

JEB – on my morning ride

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – If you leave TGO for the season, find a nature preserve – you might think you are back in TGO!

August 13, 2024 – Let us be friends!

Tough iPhone shot – only get silhouettes – one on inside and other on outside on screen out my back door!

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – let’s be curious about others – be friendly to others – and just in case keep a screen between you and others.

August 10, 2024 – is it a battle or retreat?

I designed this art with my 2nd cup of morning coffee.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – retreat when it makes good sense – try to never get into a situation where fighting makes sense.  That is my Brethren thought of the day!

August 7, 2024 – Trail Ride Fun!

Deer love on the trail ride.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE –Take a trail ride – Smile

I was a thinkin’ so I wrote:  I read that the average office worker in NYC is caught on 70 different cameras each day. So, I say to this golfer “Don’t even think about it – There are 7 sets of eyes watching you.”

JEB 08 03 2024 – Don’t even think about it

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Always do the right thing and then you can smile at the camera!

 

July 31, 2024 – UN-NAMED PONDS:

In TGO our un-named ponds come and go – by Plantation Drive behind the Post Office this morning – It all depends on the rain! This one had a just little PhotoShop help. But the ducks were there.

JEB 07 31 2024

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE – Go out looking for ponds that were not there yesterday – smile!

July 30, 2024 – An Island – water, friends, and Life……Just fun stuff!

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE –Go to an island – live there a while – smile!

July 22, 2024 – Featuring Dave and a scary tale of the weather up his way – And a dogs only beach!

Dave Wrote: Jim, Here are some pictures for the blog. We have had a very hot summer here. Not getting out much. Then  we had severe thunder storms and a tornado hit Rome, NY. We’re OK it missed us. We just have a  lot of trees down all thru our property. I’ll get them cut up when it cools down some.  Here  are some pictures of a male Scarlet Tanager we found this morning.  Dave
