At the End of the Day
Charlotte Croft has sent a photo that is both meaningful and artistic. Recently, she took an unexpected trip to Illinois to “say goodbye” to her dear father who had passed away. The photo speaks of beauty found at an unexpected time. Sunlight and moonlight are heaven sent.
Things made by man are transient, as are we all. We are but a blip on the radar, and then, we are gone. In the meantime, it is wise to enjoy beauty wherever we observe it: in the sparkling eyes of a child, the roaring waves of the ocean, crashing upon the rocks, or in the fleeting appearance of spring blooms. At the end of any day, we can only hope that we have done our best.

Thanks, Charlotte, for all that you share, and all that you do for everyone. We rejoice with you in the happy times, and our hearts are sad, in times of loss.
Charlotte reports having seen many Robins and heard “peepers” on March 2, 2008, a day the daffodils were also blooming in Illinois. She arrived home to tall piles of Vermont snow. Spring should reach New England by May, with any luck.
