The older I get the faster time goes. But, the slower I seem......hmmm. We had a very colorful autumn. It was exciting to walk the dog in the park along the river and see all the trees change day by day. The west bank of the Hudson was a panorama of orange, red, yellow, umber, with little spots of green until it all started fading into brown and yellow. The opening of the Walkway Over the Hudson was the highlight of the season. The walkway provides an amazing view of the Hudson River Valley, both north and south of here, and way to the west into the Shawungunk Mountains. It was fun having family and friends here to do the opening activities. Hayden and I have gone across and back together since the opening, with him on his bike. I try to do it at least once a week, but as it gets cooler I've begun the gradual slide into hibernation. Which is not a bad thing. I have winter projects left from last year! Boat cushions to cover, lists to make for spring launching, photo organizing (all my digital photos), cleaning out the closets (again!) till all the boxes and unused stuff is donated, sold, given away! And, each season, week, day just doesn't seem long enough to get it all done.
This blog was one of my New Year's resolutions last year. Hopefully once started, I can keep it going. I often think of things to put in a blog, usually when I am out walking, biking, etc. but then of course when I get home there are always other distractions. But, now it has finally worked its way up to the surface, and hopefully I can sustain it.

Hey, you're off to a great start! I was thinking about doing Facebook because Rita said you and Rachel are on there, but this works too. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteFacebook is fun and intersting in a different way. It is like a big room filled with people (who you have to invite, or allow in) all having different conversations at once that you can converse with. Blogspot is more like a personal journal that you allow some other people to read. The analogy that first came to mind is the difference between a cocktail party and keeping a diary. You might like Facebook for different reasons. If you do decide to try it, let me know and I will invite you to "be my friend". oops, that might be the saying for Friendster....lots of different choices out there. Facebook lets you catch up with everyone at once, sometimes in real time, all on one page.
ReplyDeleteoops, guess I better proofread a little better. I haven't figured out how to go back and make corrections once text is posted. Any ideas?
