Exercise Regimen Space
In the Winter I do not get very many chances for any outdoor exercise. One reason I love snow. Being in my 70's, I still use a snow shovel, no matter the depth, and I shovel this driveway of about 60' every time, and I enjoy it.

Last Views Of Autumn 5/5
Autumn's colors begin to fade and soon we will see the whites and grays and colors of Winter. It is only fitting that the last of my Autumn photos is taken just at the end of day.

She’s Gone
On Wednesday, October 7th, Molly's life ended. After 15 years she came down with cancer. The Vet gave her just a few months to live. We made sure they were the best ever.

Signing Off Facebook
Yeah, this ruggedly rustic relic of a rebel is leaving Facebook...
Goodbye wacky Facebook
I'm off to join the real world.
I'm going to be - sane once again.
Because this Facebook journey, has tried to turn my whole world upside down...
Twelve years ago I began this journey in October 2008. It is only fitting that I end it on the last day of September, twelve years later.
Not just deactivating but deleting my account completely. Facebook is no longer fun, it is time to go.
I feel good about this decision and am firmly convinced that this is God's will for me in going forward.
I am still on Twitter at @GCRiffey and at Riff's Christian Journal - a monthly article/essay I write with a layman's view on Christian Themes focusing on Reformed Theology, which I started in 2009.
I still have Riff's Photography Journal, presently with 1413 posts and photos since 2008...
I will sign off for the last time this evening.

Eerie Night View
An eerie night view of the house across the street. Glad this view did not happen on Halloween... 🙀

A Summer Song
Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by
Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I
Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky
They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, no
And when the rain
Beats against my windowpane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you...
Chad & Jeremy

Windows and Condensation
When warm most indoor air meets cold dry windows the results look like it is foggy outside.
However, the fog is on the inside of your own window. Most fascinating, I do believe...

Fog Rising
Fog from the valley, through which runs the Potomac River, at times gathers so thickly that the mountains on the far side becomes obscured to the point that one would say, "There are no mountains there."
I love living in a mountainous region...

Sure hope so...

Sail Away
With Summer coming to an end, and with C-19, violence and political unrest, my wife an I would love to climb aboard and just, "Sail Away."
Alas, this ol' Salt is just to old and with no money to spare all we can do is just dream about it...

No Longer Needed
Ever notice that when something is no longer needed it is set aside, thinking it might be of some use later?
Ever feel that way about yourself? Just a thought to ponder... 🤔
