I am not alone in this venture. I think Mary and Rebecca both have the same idea cross their minds.
I can’t find a way to see me there yet. I can continue to visualize ways to find myself out there, and who knows, that dream might come true.

That is why I enjoyed having Moiya send me a few pictures from her view of it on the road as she drives down to the lake.
I am curious about what is going on in the garage for I see the garage door is open.
I don't care why the door is open. I just want to know who is having fun in there.
I look at the stairs and remember weeding them last year.
They had been neglected for a season or two and the clover roots were deep enough that I had to take a screw driver and slip it way down and then wrench them out of the dry earth.
That too me two full days, a bucket by my side to put the clover in, and pads in the middle of my legs so that I didn't drive too many rocks into me knees as I knelt there.

At any rate, I am having the feelings that I have always imaged were felt by the man who wrote “Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam.”
The first line of my song would be “I’m thinking of that home, where the clover grows in the loam”.
Now that was really bad.
Please, no one comment.

ReplyDeleteNice video... made me smile. I had to watch it twice too! Jane
DeleteHi Jane. Thanks for going out and looking at Bonnie's link. That was a lot of work. Worth it thought to get to see the children of your loved ones, in this case, Bonnie Johnson. I took the link and put it at the bottom of the blog post so others can link to it easily. I wouldn't have had that thought without yout entry. Thanks.
DeleteHow did you find that, Bonnie? So sweet to be able to watch it over and over again. Now it has 2 more views from me. I love the part where "the deer snatched a pear from one of Arta's trees". 2014 was a miracle year. Probably the only year that those trees have every born fruit. I keep telling Glen we should cut them down. He keeps telling me, patience, it takes a long time for a tree to get deep roots. Thanks for bringing back the lovely memory of David telling a story. The End.
