While on my recent walk in the Channel Islands, I see many doors and gates along the way and wonder…who swung them open and passed through? Where were they coming from or going to? What might their lives have been like?
Is there a door or passageway in your life that you imagine yourself walking through? Where does it lead?

We’ve entered Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and time is slowing down. Days beginning to wane, nights lengthening. Cooler temps and rain is predicted. I love this time of year.

Their was a passage through a hedge row separating my house from my best friends house. Ah, that I could go back there as a child and experience that time gain.
Lessons in Chemistry is charming, I loved it.
This takes me back many years ago when I grew up in St. Louis. My maternal grandparents lived just one block from our house, and my mother and I spent much time with them. We would leave our house and cut through an alley to enter through their back garden gate. It was a large wooden gate, surrounded by greenery of all kinds. Most times, as we entered, we were greeted by their collie, Rovie. I have many, many happy memories of the time spent after entering through that gate.
