And what materials are your mountains normally made of?

Got a storm a-brewing. I love it when the sky gets dark and then lights up from the lightening. Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture of lightening.

The cardinal was just visiting one morning and let me take it's picture!

Thats a nice photo' of a male Northern Cardinal. Has he a nest near by?

Southie

Thanks. I'm pretty happy here too! Bluesman used to live just down the street from me!

I think the next door neighbors tree is where the Cardinal family is residing! He will sit on the fence in the morning, and tease my cats on the porch, then fly back to their tree.

I had the honor of meeting Lou Zamperini last week when I flew into Zamperini Field in Torrance, CA. The airfield is named after him. (He was declared dead in WW II and thus the field was named in his honor). After learning about Lou's amazing life, I've ordered his book, "Devil At My Heels."

Check out his amazing story:
America in WWII magazine: Louis Zamperini, Olympics, Matsuhiro Watanabe, Ofuna, POW

Prior to his WW II exploits, he competed in the 1936 Olympics. At 92, he's still fit. When I asked him to come out to our jet, I practically had to run to keep up with him. He's a ball of energy, as sharp as a tack and tells great stories. If you get out his way, treat yourself to an introduction.

At 92 he looks like a fireball indeed. How nice that you were able to meet him.

It was an honor Debbie. I sensed something in the way the linemen were deferring to him (and the ladies doting on him :-). After I read an exhibit about him in the lobby, I was amazed. The Japanese really worked him over. He considered entering in the 1948 Olympics, but he was still too damaged by his mistreatment. He is an incredibly cheerful person and doesn't let anything get him down. (I hear that's what his book is about; overcoming anger and depression and enjoying life). There's an air museum on the field. I'd love to go back and walk through it with him and hear more of his stories.

How very fortunate you got to meet him! IMO it is one of the greatest privledges to get to talk to our old war vets. There is a lot we can learn from them, lest we forget.

My Dad's headstone in Milton, MA, the morning after the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. He lived his entire life a die hard sox fan and never saw them win. My brother took this photo also. He climbed the fence to get into the cemetary before it opened to put the pennant at the grave. As he drove by the cemetary on the way home that evening he said there were dozens of other pennants added that day!
