Backyard wildflowers — ‘The Meadow’ has grown over the years.

22-second video: The view has never changed over the years. The Rocket launching frequency has though. What are the odds you return from a week in Montana and without knowing, our local news says the launch is commencing. The odds are good.

i remember driving to Cocoa Beach in 1982 after a midnight Disney shift and sleeping on the beach to watch my first Rocket launch.
dad

Once, we didn’t have cars.

Once, we had dirt roads for horses and buggies.

Once, we didn’t have Rocket Ships.

Once, long ago, a Rocket launch might be once every year or two.

Once, we thought there’s no way Rocket launches would be common.

When the student is ready the teacher will appear.

Often times, take Nature for example, the teacher is always there. Even when the student isn’t ready.

And so it goes.

dad

Over the years, have heard of the season’s end tradition to take the final fire log and throw it in Lake McDonald to extinguish it.

Then retrieve the log from the lake and store it over the winter.

Then on next season’s opening day, use it on the first fire of the new season.

We witnessed the tradition today.
