Nathan has 5 days off from work, so we are making the most of it. Yesterday we took a drive to Ithaca, NY. These are the beautiful Ithaca Falls:

We also came home with some new books and records:

The records made for great listening this morning as we had breakfast in bed- homemade blueberry crumb bars and strawberry hearts:

A Psalm of Life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What The Heart Of The Young Man Said To The Psalmist.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
   Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
   And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
   And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

   Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
   Find us farther than to-day.
