Meanwhile

After spending most of the winter in Florida, we are happy to be back in good ole Rochester Michigan!

“We shape clay into a pot, but it’s the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.” – Tao Te Ching

Walking back from the yoga studio that I go to on the other side of our park, I stop to admire this sun dial. Erected in 2017 to commemorate our 200th year of becoming a town.

After a couple of years, a swing was added to complement the sundial. (a bit of foreshadowing in this pic) Fun fact: when Murph and I were dating we used to walk over to the park and sit on the old swing 😉

Beautiful perennial gardens for all to enjoy!
When spotted admiring the flowers a man insisted on taking my pic. 🤷🏽‍♀️
This guy! Playing a piece from Les Miserable – I felt like I was in a Hallmark movie!
Paint Creek runs the length of our park and beyond.
I love this cool mural that is on the side of the maintenance shed❣️
Look very close – zoom in – do you see what I see? (a blue heron)
Nothing better that splashing around in the creek on a warm morning.
All the kids came out to play!

Walking back home we hit another jewel in Rochester – the Paint Creek Trail – it’s one of three local rail trails that we have. This one runs north approx 10 miles (about 16 kilometers) to a neighboring town. The Paint Creek parallels the entire path.

  8. It’s a reminder that both home and away can be beautiful if you know where to look. You know where to look.

  9. How fortunate you are to live in a community with so much charm. Adds another layer of reasons for us to move to different area of Maine. Where we are now is rural and rustic – that has its own charms. But I look forward to the sort of welcoming public spaces you enjoy in Rochester.
