Good morning! I have something a little different for you today—a short drone flight over a frozen kettle pond. (Getting in some flight practice before an exciting upcoming trip! 👀) The ice is finally melting! #OceanDevotion

Yesterday a snow bank. Today, this. A welcome sight in central Connecticut. In the 70s near 80 today. So we will call it winsprummer.

My wife baked Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies today. Haven’t had them in years. Me: “How come you don’t make these more often?” Wife: “Because you eat them all in like a couple days.” Me: “What are you talking about? I do not.” Later today after sneaking my eighth cookie. Me: “She may be right.”

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost I’ll add another verse: “And a ton more snow in my boots.”

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.” “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” Robert Frost
