Lake effect clouds streaming in
Yesterday afternoon brought a beautiful mix of clouds, sunshine, and lake effect snow. I was so busy posting leftovers that I didn’t get around to looking at the photos from my walk. That has turned out to be a good thing because I don’t have time to upload and sort through the photos from today’s walk.

Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and cupboard of the heart.

It is a rainy, dreary, doldrums kind of day here in the Bogs. Rather than write about that and show you gray, dreary, dull images, I turned to the The Daily Post for some inspiration. The Daily Prompt for today is: Time Capsule.

Contemplation in blue
Perhaps the whisper was born before lips,
And the leaves in treelessness circled and flew,
And those, to whom we impart our experience as bliss,
Acquire their forms before we do.~ Osip Mandelstam

Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island
Last week when we left off, M and I were getting ready to leave Prince Edward Island. After a quick visit to say goodbye to the beach, we made our way to Wood Islands, PEI to take the ferry to Caribou, Nova Scotia. (Side note: This must seem like it was the longest trip in the world, especially when you consider that this is only the half way point. We really did pack in a lot of activities each day.)

Early this morning
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
