A GENTLE REMINDER...
When you arise in the morning,
give thanks for the morning light.
Give thanks for your life and your strength.
Give thanks for your food
and give thanks for the joy in living.
And if you see no reason for giving thanks,
rest assured that the fault is in yourself.
~Chief Tecumseh

RINGING IN THE VALLEY...
Bluegrass time has arrived in the valley of East Tennessee, held at the Nine Mile Volunteer Fire Dept. The first of four to be held this summer and fall. It was a beautiful, albeit a cool and windy day. Blue skies and green mountains surrounded the Sequatchie Valley. The sounds of the mountains and the valleys rang out for several days as campers and locals gather for good music, good food and great fellowship. Enjoy the slide show and look for the next festival to be held in June. (Please note when you click on slideshow it will offer you the opportunity to enlarge the screen, please do, I had to pay for that!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR FRIEND...
are faithful and generous friends with a great capacity for affection . In the main, they are gentle, even tempered, good natured, modest and slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding ill-feeling. If they are provoked, however, they can
"explode" into violent outbursts of ferocious anger in which they seem to lose all self-control. Equally strong, however are their occasional sallies into humor and exhibitions of fun. That which we love the most about you!
Love you, Girlfirend

DON'T MISS THE LIGHT SHOW...
In the pre-dawn hours of April 22 (1:00 - 3:00 am), be sure to look up. If you do, you'll likely be treated to a spectacular celestial show in the form of the Lyrids meteor shower.
Why bother to wake up at an ungodly hour to gaze at the sky? Several reasons. First, the Lyrids shower was, according to Meteor Showers Online, first observed at least 2,600 years ago, making it the oldest of any meteor shower. Secondly, viewers have a small chance "to get a glimpse of some dazzling fireball meteors from a completely different meteor swarm."

A CONSERVATIONIST DREAM COME TRUE...
Feeding Our Eagles
Comox, B.C., Vancouver Island
In January the weather got so cold that the bald eagles were cruising over our houses looking for helpless cats to make a quick meal. Some kind souls decided to feed the eagles down at Goose Spit so they would survive the cold spell. Here's what happened...
A former teaching colleague took these photos in front of his home... they are incredible!
A beautiful morning feeding the eagles.
No zoom lens used here! I was this close!
Here are the men who were feeding them, pretty amazing to get this close! It was not too long ago, that the American Bald Eagle was an endangered species... !
I wish I could take credit for these photos, only the black eagle and eagle-on-a-rock-in-the-water are mine! I don't know who the photographer was but a heartfelt thanks for sharing them with the world...

FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE...
A Friday night favorite at the local jam session...Ashokan Farewell...as played on the guitar:
Written by Jay Unger in 1982, Ashokan Farewell is a favorite among fiddle players and those of us who love the haunting sounds of Jay's fiddle as it plays of the lament expressed by the songwriter

BIRDS, SNOW & ICE
Another snowfall on top of the last, up to 8 to 10 inches, depending on who you ask! It was a beautiful snow and only the most stubborn of mountains of snow created by snowplows still remain. Hope you enjoy another walk in the Applachains...

A REMINDER ON A WINTER DAY...WALK WITH ME...
through the stunning gardens in North Washington in July. The traffic you see are folks waiting to return to Canada with U.S. citizens waiting on the other side to return to the States. I took the liberty of borrowing a tune from Neil Diamond. Thanks Gary for introducing me to "Leave a Little Room for God" and thanks to Marci for all the great photos. Hope you enjoy your tour with me...no photos have been enhanced in any way...
