Fall: I'm spending all of my time working on restoring my 1892 Victorian home and Carriage House. Winter was fairly mild this year and early spring has arrived so I'm spending my days working on my lawns and gardens. Most of these photographs were taken over the years. I never run out of projects and love when spring arrives so I can spend time outdoors. I'm coping well with the Covid Pandemic by staying busy and trying to enjoy my golden years and good fortune. ~ Patrick Lombardi

Summer: Michigan summers always seem to be the best time of year for me since the days are at their longest and the weather is almost perfect. I think my favorite part of summer is sitting on the front porch in the evening with my two cats and watching fireflies while enjoying the peace and quiet serenity. ~ Patrick Lombardi
