The First Day of a New Year

Kathy's grandmother died today in her sleep.

Soon afterward, Kathy and I saw two mature bald eagles perched on a tree at our large pond. Bald eagles are relatively rare around here and today is the first time we have ever spotted one on our property. It was a beautiful sight.

We will miss you, Grandma.
