Happy Thanksgiving from just over the hilltop in Norwood where most of the snow has melted in these last couple of days with the increased warm temperatures. The village was able to clear away the debris of leaves and brush along the roadsides this morning and now it can snow again. I am grateful the…

Have you been getting as much rain and cool weather as we have the last few days? I think we had about two inches at our house but other areas had almost seven. The temperatures have cooled enough that I actually thought about turning on the furnace. But closing the windows, putting on a sweater,…
“Rain in May means a barn full of hay” is a phrase I’ve heard and if true the farmers should be very happy with all this rain. Here, just over the hilltop in Norwood, the cold, damp, rainy days continue on and on and when the sun breaks through, even for two minutes, it is…
“Look for the gold, not the dirt” is a quote I read recently which was referring to people. Why is it easier to look at other’s mistakes or wrong choices rather than their accomplishments and successes? That doesn’t mean the failures aren’t open for all to see, but they don’t define who they or we…
“You’ve got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive and e-li-mi-nate the negative” is an old song that’s been ringing around in my head the last couple of days.

A woodpecker is making his presence known by the chips at the base of one of the driveway maples, and the squirrels are…
Welcome to the gracious grateful month of November. Known for its gray, overcast, almost gloomy days, November can become a sunny month of the heart by concentrating on all the marvelous things I am thankful for. That is my goal for November.

I don’t want to waste a day of this glorious Autumn season. It is perfect for Sunday afternoon drives, raking and piling up of the colorful leaves, hiking in the woods or on trails, or sitting around an evening campfire under the moonlit sky. I sure do love this month of October, but then again,…
Isn’t it amazing that an empty week on the calendar can fill up quickly with many exciting people and events? Hello from just over the hilltop in Norwood where the days are full of activities and the evenings bring some beautiful sunsets. Often they have been soft pink clouds against the darkening horizon of gray….
Happy Birthday to my Mom! Today is her birthday and when I look around I see no one else I’d rather have than her for my mom. She certainly was the heart of our family with a drill sergeant ability to get us to work together and to get things done. Don’t take me wrong,…
