“Many forms of government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” – Winston Churchill The Cornell Botanic Gardens is a beautiful place to just walk around and be surrounded by… Read More

One of my favorite places to visit for photography is Cornell Botanic Gardens and Arboretum. There are so many varieties of beautiful flowers growing and blooming at all times of the year. From wildflower gardens to gardens outside the visitor center and then even flowering trees up in the arboretum. And there is so much more.

Yesterday my dad texted me and asked if I wanted to go look for birds later. I quickly responded and told him that I did if our schedules lined up. And they lined up perfectly. I had time to go to the pool and get my swim in for triathlon training. Then after my swim I went and picked up my dad so we could go birdwatching. My dad recently told me… Read More

Even on snow shoes. And I also run with my dog. I have also been involved as a volunteer. I am in my second stint on the board of directors of our local all volunteer… Read More

“What would you do, cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? … and when the law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide … the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast. Man’s laws, not God’s. And if you cut them down … do you really think you could stand upright in the… Read More

And that is still a huge part of the reason I love having flowers. But I also love the beauty they bring to our yard. I also love that they bring so many different birds, insects, and other wildlife to our yard as sources… Read More

We love to visit our state parks. And one of our favorite parks to visit is Letchworth State Park. I think in the last several years it has become an annual visit to the park at least once a year. One of the reasons we love Letchworth State Park is that it is a huge park with lots of space. And that makes it a great place for us to visit with… Read More

“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites. … Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.” –… Read More

There are not many races that I run year after year. But Sehgahunda Trail Marathon and Relay keeps bringing me back. It takes place at a beautiful state park, that has so much to explore. The trails are some of my favorites to run on. Not too much climbing (my nemesis). And there are a variety of ways to participate in the event. I have run this event in every configuration possible….

“And if we dare to look into those eyes, then we shall feel their suffering in our hearts. More and more people have seen that appeal and felt it in their hearts. All around the world there is an awakening of understanding and compassion, and understanding that reaches out to help the suffering animals in their vanishing homelands. That embraces hungry, sick, and desperate human beings, people who are starving while the… Read More
