“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

Thanksgiving | Walk With Ken Boyle – November 22, 2020
I’m so sorry I have not walked with you for a time for I have missed our walks together. My oldest brother told me how busy he was after he retired, and I questioned that would happen when I retired. I was wrong. Part of it is because I do not have the stamina I … Continue reading Thanksgiving | Walk With Ken Boyle – November 22, 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. As you may have figured by now, I have not been sitting at my desk for quite some time. You … Continue reading Candleberry Chapel | Walk With Ken Boyle – October 26, 2020
Sunday Drives | Walk With Ken Boyle – October 4, 2020
Just before the Second World War my father purchased a 1939 Buick. That car would not be replaced until the war was over. Now as good as American automobiles are today, they usually did not last that long back in the thirties and forties. An automobile was often replaced every two or three years. With … Continue reading Sunday Drives | Walk With Ken Boyle – October 4, 2020

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

Good Morning! I’m so happy you are able to walk with me today. It is a sunny, comfortable day, and the temperature is 81 degrees.

It’s unusual … Continue reading Horses | Walk With Ken Boyle – July 29, 2020
America’s Possible Dream | Walk With Ken Boyle – July 17, 2020
It is Friday afternoon, and it is very cool here in Hopkinton, NH. The day is cloudy, and the temperature is around sixty-four degrees. We have had a good amount of rainfall so Dale’s gardens are doing well, and soon we will have too many vegetables. Hopefully, Dale’s favorite crop - pumpkins - will grow … Continue reading America’s Possible Dream | Walk With Ken Boyle – July 17, 2020
The Chipmunk – Walk With Ken Boyle | June 28, 2020
Good morning on this sunny, cloudy day in June. It is Sunday, and I usually do not walk with you on Sunday. However, today I have a few moments to sit down at my desk (which I have just straightened out) to visit with you. I hope you are well this day and that you … Continue reading The Chipmunk – Walk With Ken Boyle | June 28, 2020
“Bleak Times” Can Lead To Sunshine | Walk With Ken Boyle – June 16, 2020
What a beautiful morning to take a walk. The temperature is 75 degrees, and it is a sunny day. How have you been? We need to ask that question of each other because so many people feel, as my son said to me, “These are bleak times, Dad.” Did you ever read the novel by … Continue reading “Bleak Times” Can Lead To Sunshine | Walk With Ken Boyle – June 16, 2020
