Rainy Sunday morning on the porch in KC. Hard to believe we live in the city with a view like that.
Missing my morning walks at Sandy Run. #forestbathing #shinrinyoku

38 years with this guy 3️⃣8️⃣🥂✨💫

The Loose Park Rose Garden has QR codes now 🌸🌺🌸
Well hello there Blue Heron (& turtles & ducks & green leaves & pond water & reflections & spring) 🦤🐢🦆🌿

For the Ones Who Startle Easily

“Nowadays, when I look back on that day my dad died 50 years ago, what strikes me the most is not the memory of my own sadness, but the faces of the people who cared for me.”…
