Summer and Early Fall Pictures in 2004

Many sunrises and sunsets are spectacular from our vantage point looking out on the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Green Mountains of Vermont. Some views at morning and evening are similar, but every view is unique in some way and is never repeated. And each view lasts for for only a matter of minutes before transforming into something else and never to return again except when a portion of it is captured in a picture. In a similar way each person is unique and lasts in that unique form for only a a short span of time before evolving into something else. A portion may only be captured in a memory or perhaps a memoir. I fear the same is true for nations. The election day sunrise on November 2, 2004 is one of those unique times from the vantage point of my desk where I'm overlooking the top of a computer monitor at 6:16 a.m. The tops of Mt. Lafayette and Cannon Mountain are obscured in clouds, but the sky above looks like a blazing battle. Perhaps this is a reflection coming all the way from Iraq. God Bless America and our troops everywhere in the world who would much rather be home with their families today.

This is the south side of our house.		This is Darrell and his crew adding new siding to north side.
This is our little pond beside the house. Erika laid every rock.		This is beside our garage. Big machines laid these rocks.
These are directions to ski trails behind our house		Backside of our house and my study building
Erika is planting flowers in our outer field.		I can't get her to garden in a bikini.
