There he is!

Call it face time, i chat, google mail...there he is with a big smile on his face. Such a beautiful boy sitting on his daddy's shoulders. How easy and happy they are together at the end of the day, right before dinner, our grandson Hal.

Sleigh Ride

Two Bergerons, Belle and Bright
pulling a wooden sleigh as it glides
over freshly fallen snow past
weathered barns, log bridges,
frozen ponds and evergreen groves.

Snuggled under woolen blankets,
we watch for red fox and coyote tracks.
tree trunks gnawed by beavers
and woodpecker mansions.

Asher and Simon catch snowflakes
on their tongues while Miriam
listens for the rooster's call
and hopes to see the chickens
emerge from their house.
