Near the end the winter of 2019 (mostly taken through my window due to the cold weather) / Teach Your Children / My Father's 105th Birthday



(video inspired by the link on roger's post)



























In order to open my porch door this morning, I had to push against a few inches of snow.  I love seeing bird tracks in the snow on my porch.



If my father were still alive, he would be celebrating his 105th birthday today.  He was born at home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a few months before World War I started.  He was the third of five siblings.  His youngest sister is alive and well at 96 years old.  Here is my father in his first year of life:

Thanks for all the beautiful photos. I found most of them to be calming.

I have been missing your posts. I thought maybe you had stopped, as I wasn't getting notifications. I went to my reading list to click on your blog to check up on you and I couldn't find it. Apparently, I somehow or other deleted it. Sheesh. The bad news is that I missed so many of your great posts. The good news is they are all there waiting for me to read.

Such beautiful light in the sky. Would your father have liked it?
