Making a start

I spend a lot of time at my home here in Eagle River, Alaska, often physically without company. However, I still connect with friends and family via Facebook and phone calls, with birds and other critters large and small that visit my yard, with the garden outdoors and potted plants indoors, with characters in the books I enjoy, with making music and listening to it, with God who is always on call for me.  It seems a waste to keep all those connections secretly to myself, so I decided to try blogging.  This is a sidebar to my life, to share with anyone who is interested in my thoughts and activities.
