down by the river

My candle burns at both its ends;

It will not last the night;
But oh, my foes, and oh, my friends --
It gives a lovely light.

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) poet

I seem to be burning lots of candles these days, yes, they do give a lovely light!

unfortunately, I've fallen behind on keeping up with what's happening in the cyberhood, instead of writing this morning I'm going to use my allotted time to catch up. speaking of the cyberhood, I want to introduce a new blog don parker, ink. to the hood. if you enjoy clever satire, make sure you drop in on parker and welcome him to the hood.

in terms of my local hood, we've been experiencing a big thaw. thought I'd share a couple snaps from my walk on sunday

the local rocky river

water, water everywhere .....quite nice if you're a duck.....

down by the river - c,s,n & y (1969) - my god, does time flow by.....



photo note: after reading some of the comments on these photos, I thought I'd clarify what you are seeing in terms of the two bottom pictures. the white stuff is not snow, but big chucks of ice on the rocky river... perhaps this will give you a better understanding of what is going on with the river. in terms of snow on the ground, because of the recent warm temperatures that's almost all gone...
