Tossing Pebbles in the Stream

This blog is my place to sit and toss pebbles into the stream. The stream of Life relentlessly passing before us. We can affect it little. For the most part I just watch it passing and follow the flow. Occasionally, I need to comment on its passing, tossing a pebble at it to enjoy the ripple affect upon Life's surface.

Life is mostly quiet around here.. . .except. .

After the excitement of Christmas and New Year' Day my life had returned to its quiet reality.

One of my kittens wonders what I am doing at the computer

Today we are finally having a little snowfall. Could this be Winter, at last.

Heidi sleeps away the afternoon in her favourite spot

Well life is not always quiet and dull. Here is my neighbour's garage burning to the ground yesterday.
It brought out not only the local volunteer crew but also another company from the community of Field, 10 miles away.

It reminded me of my house fire that required rebuilding the attic and roof a few years ago. It is a horrible experience to go through.. My neighbour's house was spared.

Well back to my reading..

Thanks for the photos of Heidi and your kitten--always nice to see members of your menagerie.
