The Trapp Family Lodge and some Mountain Pics


My Grandfather and Alexa



Psalms 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.



Exodus 15:11
Who among the gods is like you, O LORD? Who is like you- majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?



Judges 5:5
The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.


I loved finding all these little houses nestled in the woods
on the mountainside.


My dream home- the only thing that could make it better
is a lake beside it.

This morning, flowers cracked open
the earth’s brown shell. Spring
leaves spilled everywhere
though winter’s stern hand
could come down again at any moment
to break the delicate yolk
of a new bloom.

The crocus don’t see this as they chatter
beneath a cheerful petal of spring sky.
They ignore the air’s brisk arm
as they peer at their fresh stems, step
on the leftover fragments
of old leaves.

When the night wind twists them to pieces,
they will die like this: laughing,
tossing their brilliant heads
in the bitter air.

A Crucifix in the Von Trapp Family Cemetary


This woman died the year I was born


The famous Maria Von Trapp


and her husband, Georg


They were buried togethor. Most people don't know that
he was actually 25 years older than her.


Cemeteries are always sobering
