Tuesday SOL 4/28/15 - Spring

Spring arrived
Dogwoods bloomed
Rain poured
Wind blew
White petals

Flitted

Floated

Drifted

To the ground
Blossoms gone
Green leaves appear
Spring will soon disappear

    Dogwoods are just beautiful in spring! I imagined the whole process of the beautiful petals falling through your words Judy!

    The ending is perfect, Judy, & nice rhythm, too. Oh, so true. I'm glad our rain wasn't powerful enough to take the blossoms--yet!

    Hopefully Spring won't disappear too quickly. I enjoy the season and seeing things come back to life. I am looking forward to going outside later on to do some weeding and just enjoy the day.

    I am so sad when rain beats on the blossoms and they disappear so quickly. I just love the color the dogwood brings to the forest and yards. Lovely poem!

    It's amazing how we long for spring and the it comes and goes so quickly! Those beautiful petals ... flit and float about. Beautiful language to describe the drifting of spring!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

Tuesday SOL - 9/25/12 - A New Beginning for a Special Couple

Image
Several weeks ago we were invited to a wedding for two very dear friends.  What a special occasion it was!  This is the second marriage for both of them and they are in their early 70's.  But, before telling you about the wedding, you need to know "the rest of the story". Jeannie's husband died about 10 years ago from heart related problems.  Several years after his death, she was involved in a terrible automobile accident and was never expected to walk again.  But through sheer determination (and the help of God) she walks without the aid of crutches.  At this point she really didn't have God in her life and I'm not sure at what point she found God (or more than likely, God found her).  She always asked God to find her that special man who had faith, was kind, had a great sense of humor and who loved her. Along came Richard.  His wife died about 5 years ago, also to heart related problems.  They "knew" each other through church, Bible ...
