Our pond looks refreshed for it all, but still several feet below its top.
On Labor day, when we visited our friends who live near Syracuse, the pool was enticing but we shied away from a swim, as the precursor to this storm created an uneasy chill.
This photograph however was taken in July when the sun shone down on that pool, lighting up the water like a jewel.
We have moved on a step with our mortgage application... and now wait for a valuation upon our proposal.
Patience, waiting and above all that, a chance to dive in.

I am reminded of the youth of this nation each and every day since I returned. Especially as we find ourselves in the middle of what could, quite possibly, be one of my nation's most important election years. My voter registration is completed and I will proudly cast my ballot for President Obama on Election Day in November.
But, even as I type these words, I am also reminded of America's history....of its unique and compelling unfolding as a nation of immigrants. Many mistakes were made then,and now, of course, but so many things were also done correctly. It is a nation filled with people who dream of a life they could never have had anywhere but here...and, often, those dreams become their reality. The President and First Lady are testament to this truth.
And now, I am married to an immigrant with dreams of manifesting his love of this country's landscapes into his incredibly elegant expression of reverential beauty and spirit.
Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave....
