Good morning from the corner of a great place called "Nucleus", Over the past couple months I have been coming to a little place called Nucleus. It is a rather "earth muffin" sort of a place, but before you think I am maligning it, this is a term of endearment for me. A few of you might [...]

Napping, photo by Harold Davis. We’ve had a great deal of excitement over Thanksgiving. My brother, sister-in-law, and nephew visited from Minnesota. We spent time at my parents house.

Bunny, photo by Harold Davis. Katie Rose is a growing, plump, and happy bunny at over twelve pounds. She’s a cozy bundle to hold. This year the Thanksgiving turkey will likely be larger than Katie Rose, but not by much.

Fog on the Headlands, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger. On a brilliant, sunny autumn afternoon Mark and I left the Tennessee Valley parking lot.

Dreamweaver Rose, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger. I was doing some yard work in our garden.

I remember him the day he was born, even then all mischief and sweetness and obvious intelligence.
