The Glass Family

We found an old glass negative from back in the late 1800's or early 1900's and were able to mess around with it enough to capture this photo. We may have figured out who the actual family is ... but for now we refer to them as The Glass Family.

Oh Happy Day!

I will celebrate this day! The meaning of this date? The end of the Bush Republicans' unprecedented lawlessness, their bullying religiousity, their reckless militarism, their apocalyptic views of the economy and the planet, their emotional dependence on sheer hatefulness, and their long campaign against American democracy.

Abraham Lincoln once observed that if the U.S. should ever be subverted, it would be conquered from within. This is what will happen here, unless Americans—left, right, and center—become aware of this regime's intentions and work together to reclaim the nation.

Hello, Hello, Hello ...

This may be the last photo I take of the three baby robins. They are 12 days old now. Baby robins jump from their nest when they are about 13 days old. It takes them another 10-15 days to become strong fliers and independent birds.

On this day

On this day …
Mend a quarrel
Search out a forgotten friend
Dismiss a suspicion and replace it with trust
Write a letter to someone who misses you
Encourage a youth who has lost faith
Keep a promise
Forget an old grudge
Examine your demands on others and vow to reduce them
Fight for a principle
Express your gratitude
Overcome an old fear
Take two minutes to appreciate the beauty of nature
Tell someone you love them
Tell them again
And again
And again.

Spring has sprung, little one ...
