Awesome! This morning, I was looking at a photo of Gilbert when he was in his 30's. He was pastor of a church in Ireland (before I met him). He had a head full of hair (small Afro). All things change/evolve.

Even pinecones. Thanks for your thoughts, Ian!!

Thanks for sharing your reflections, Ian. If you really want to keep those creative juices flowing around Nature and how we interact with it, go see the "Biophilia" exhibit at the Denver Art Museum before it leaves town! It'll blow your mind!

I have to share that a new little "pinecone" plopped into my life this past month--my first grandchild came into our world on July 6, fresh from Heaven, and we're so thrilled at the miracle he is!
