Winter Walk

One of my favorite places to wander through the neighborhood.

 

Red Sea Road

Red Sea Road

Ellie Holcomb

We, buried dreams

Laid them deep into the earth behind us

Said, our goodbyes

At the grave but everything reminds us

God knows, we ache

When He asks us to go on

How do we go on?

We will sing, to our souls

We won't bury our hope

Where He leads us to go

There's a red sea road

When we can't, see the way

He will part the waves

And we'll never walk alone

Down a red sea road

How, can we trust

When You say You will deliver us from

All, of this pain, that threatens to take over us

Well, this desert's dry

But the ocean may consume

And we're scared, to follow You

So we will sing, to our souls

We won't bury our hope

Where He leads us to go

There's a red sea road

When we can't, see the way

He will part the waves

And we'll never walk alone

Down a red sea road

Oh help us believe

You are faithful, You're faithful

When our hearts are breaking

You are faithful, You're faithful

Oh grant us eyes to see

You are faithful, You're faithful

Teach us to sing

You are faithful, You're faithful, You're faithful

And we will sing, to our souls

We won't bury our hope

Where He leads us to go

There's a red sea road

When we can't, see the way

He will part the waves

And we'll never walk alone

Down a red sea road

No, we'll never, walk alone

Down a red sea road

No, we'll never, walk alone

Down a red sea road

you're muted

 

they make signs for that...

Kelly's Run // Winter Hike

Last Saturday, Vicky and I met up for a winter hike.

Kelly's Run (a 4 mile loop hike near the Susquehanna) was snow covered and absolutely resplendent with beauty. I couldn't soak in enough... and can't wait for our next winter hike.

Black and White and Color All Over

The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind. 

~Maria Christina Mena

Our apartment feels more homey, and my heart feels giddy at the luxurious pleasure of having a beautiful piano of my very own! Music is a joy of my life and it's marvelous to no longer be in piano starvation mode. Sometime in the latter half of 2020, I decided the piano desert in my life had lasted too many years and it was time to purchase a quality instrument I would love to play. My Yamaha Clavinova CLP 735 arrived 12 days ago; its black and white and color delight my soul.

First Snow Day Cinnamon Rolls 2021

Yesterday was the day of the first 2021 snow day cinnamon rolls.

It wasn't my first snow storm of the winter (we got some snow in Michigan when I was home over the holidays), or even the first snow storm of the winter here in Pennsylvania (they had a snow storm in December while I was away), but it was the first snowstorm I experienced in Pennsylvania yet this winter.

And that felt like reason enough to celebrate with nine fresh cinnamon rolls.

ooo.la.la.

delight.

Although I don't think the pictures turned out any too shab, these cinnamon rolls tasted even better than they looked.

Unfortunately, due to ongoing COVID-induced isolation from the rest of humanity, the coworks missed out on this edition of wintery, celebratory cinnamon rolls. 

Maybe next time...
