Rose Opening To The MorningRose in the soft early morning light




Roses are amazing flowers. They thrive in the rain and strong sunshine. And in the soft light of morning, they open to greet the day.

We have noted that the roses in our Rhode Island neighborhood are abundant this year. Some have speculated that this extreme flowering is due to reduced pollution levels. We tend to agree.

Whatever the reason for our blooms, we enjoy the blooms. And each morning, we look forward to their opening and greeting us.

A Visit From CarolThe Mountain Laurel visits in June




Mountain Laurel carries with it the nickname "Carol". It is significant to our family that it flowers in June. It means that a family member that has passed comes to visit.

The lady who would swim around Great Island in Narragansett. The lady who costumed theater groups. The lady who loved swordfish. The lady who left us too soon. The grandmother our children never knew. My wife's mother. Her name was Carol.

So, we remember and talk. We share memories. Because, pink and bright, we have received A Visit From Carol.

What Cheer ProvidenceThe Providence skyline as seen from the Port of Providence




"What Cheer Netop?" is a hybrid greeting bringing the English term, "What cheer do you bring?" and "Netop" meaning "neighbor" or "friend" in the Narragansett language. It is a greeting that is part of the history of Providence.

In 1636, Roger Williams left the Massachusetts Bay Colony seeking religious freedom. After crossing the Seekonk River into what would become Providence. As Williams approached the banks of the river in his canoe, "What Cheer Netop" was the greeting from the Narragansetts.

There is something similar that one feels approaching the Port of Provid

Delicate Texture And Color

Walking is at the center of most of these encounters. It allows for moments of the expected and unexpected. Late Sunday afternoon at the Botanical Gardens at the University of Rhode Island finds this mix.

Encountering beautiful peonies is a stark moment that stops everyone in their tracks. Delicate and tissue-like petals dance in the light and slight warm breeze. Shadows play and petals smile.

Have you ever been present for a turning in history? This is symbolic of an event of history that changes the familiar landscape itself.

This clock tower will be coming down. There is a plan to replace this tower that will be an homage to the current tower, but it will not be the same. (Building Committee backs new EPHS clock tower concept | EastBayRI.com - News, Opinion, Things to Do in the East Bay)

History is changing. We are the witnesses.

Providence In A Tree FrameViewing the Providence skyline through the frame of trees along the Providence River




I was hiking in East Providence, Rhode Island. I have an explorer's heart, so I have a tendency to find a path and ask the question, "What's through here?"

Today, I viewed something that I have not seen since childhood. That is the Providence skyline framed out by trees. I grew up on the peak of Warwick Neck. Looking north out our picture window, we could see the Providence skyline.

The high school gym is a place of elation for some, the obligation for others, and even dread for a few. There is an assurance that everyone has some memory of the gymnasium.

As the East Providence High School closes, a classic gym will go. The lacquered floors, the real wood bleachers, the block construction. The banners will remain, but this is a place blessed by memories of the athletes. It is also a place that may haunt the minds of former opponents.

This is a place of nostalgia. It is a place of honor. And in evidence, there is a name on the boards representing such recognition.

In high school, mathematics, science, and the lab is either the dread or the salvation of student. For me, it was salvation. This is where I excelled and found myself. Balancing equations in Chemistry was a joy; seeing their impact come to life in the lab was an elation.

Wandering the halls of the East Providence High School, these subjects came to life again. Beakers and flasks in the lab room. In another the equation declaring the "part divided by the wh
