Daily Trees # 202

Posted on August 4, 2026August 3, 2026 by Septuagenarian in aging, nature

I have always been drawn to trees. Growing up in western Massachusetts next to a forest, trees offered me comfort. I found solace in the woods; the sounds of calling birds, the breeze singing through the needles of pine and hemlock, the rubbing and clacking when a big wind bends the old trunks of the … Continue reading Daily Trees # 202 →

Obstacle practice #200!

Posted on August 1, 2026July 20, 2026 by Septuagenarian in aging, Being Human, Life Lessons, nature

Our Future? #129

Posted on May 23, 2026May 10, 2026 by Septuagenarian in aging, Being Human, Life Lessons, Nourishment

At seventy-eight, I think about the kind of world we will leave to our children and their children.

Last December, those of us of a certain age celebrated our friend Judy's 85th birthday. On May 19th, she passed away, suddenly in the night. Attaining this many years and still riding our horses is a feat worthy of celebration. I am so glad we did. The next day, after learning of her death ……… … Continue reading In Memory of Judy Scott →
