It is Monday morning, and the rain has continued as it has almost all weekend long. We have needed rain in New Hampshire. Although the weekend has not been favorable to outside activities, our gardens and forests will now flourish. In the springtime, there is always the danger of fire until the undergrowth in our … Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend | Walk With Ken Boyle – June 1, 2021

Gardens | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 16, 2021
It’s gardening time in our house, rather outside our home. Dale is ready to beautify our home with all kinds of flowers. When I suggested she cut back on the size of our gardens, she was not about to listen. “No,” she said, “I love my gardens.” Dale is correct. She dearly loves flowers, picking … Continue reading Gardens | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 16, 2021
Mother’s Day 2021 | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 8, 2021
Mother’s Day was fast approaching, and I had seen a gift that I wished to buy for my mother. What I wished to purchase was in a gift store across from the Franklin School. That elementery school in Melrose, Massachusetts was comprised of grades three through six. I cannot remember which grade I was in, … Continue reading Mother’s Day 2021 | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 8, 2021
Good Friday | Walk With Ken Boyle – April 2, 2021
It is seven minutes until three o’clock; the time that Jesus was on the cross is about over. In our home on Good Friday, from twelve until three was to be a quiet time out of respect for our Lord’s suffering and crucifixion. As children, we were not allowed to play outside but could only … Continue reading Good Friday | Walk With Ken Boyle – April 2, 2021

The time is five-thirty in the evening, and the day has been warmer and less windy than earlier this week. In some places, the snow has melted, but there are still beautiful winter scenes all about us.

Heart Strangely Warmed | Walk With Ken Boyle, January 24, 2021
It is Sunday night around 7 o’clock, and Dale and I are sitting in our living room enjoying the heat from our wood stove. It has been a special day for it was our last Christmas celebration for the year 2020.

Christmas 2020 | Walk With Ken Boyle – December 20, 2020
“The sun that brief December day rose cheerless over hills of gray,And darkly circled gave at noon a sadder light than waning moon.”The poet Whittier goes on to say in the midst of that snowstorm-“So, all night long the storm roared on; the morning broke without a sun;”“What matter how the night behaved? What matter … Continue reading Christmas 2020 | Walk With Ken Boyle – December 20, 2020
Candleberry Chapel | Walk With Ken Boyle – October 26, 2020
It is a rainy, cold day here in New Hampshire. Molly is tucked under my desk as I visit with you. It is not a good day for a walk so we will visit in my study.

Hymns and Water | Walk With Ken Boyle – August 22, 2020
Good morning. Welcome to our morning walk. It seems so very strange to not be able to attend church services physically on a Sunday morning. I miss the fellowship, and I miss the hymn singing so very much. Hymns are very important in my retirement. When I am working in my shop down in the … Continue reading Hymns and Water | Walk With Ken Boyle – August 22, 2020
