Warmer thoughts

3 Comments

Sorry, I needed a warm photo to look at. I spent 3 hours outside removing snow and ice yesterday. And given the temps we will be looking at the white stuff for at least another week or more. And talk of another possible storm this weekend. Isn’t life grand. Someone please transport me to spring.

If I remember correctly, I shot this while sitting in my convertible along the side of the road on Rt 99 between Rt 32 and Rt 97. Photo by Mike Hartley

This shot appealed to me for another reason. I’m kind of relaxed and this shot merged with that feeling. I love watching horses graze in the fields during the spring, summer and fall months. There are more than a few horse farms around this way so a short drive will always get me to some.

There are a few obligations today but some more time on the treadmill and picking up a paint brush will be on my agenda and maybe a simple meal out with my better half.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • When I write my grandchildren, I imagine the smile they have when they get my notes and pictures.
  • There is cold and then there is this week.
  • The grouper sandwich at Oscars is great. I also love their crab soup.
  • Look for the good people. They are all around you.

  1. Thank you Mike for the wonderful photo of the grazing horses and yes to thoughts of spring…perfect!

  2. That image does make me feel better, Mike. As my brother recently said in a text, “this weather has lost its charm.”
