A Spate of Visits

Recently, we have had more visitors to our home in three months than we've had in quite some period.  We had our nephew Dom drop by on a Tuesday for an overnight visit on his way home from a job interview near Boston.  Tammy's college friend from PCC and her youngest daughter stopped by on a Thursday for an overnight visit on their way to visit her new grandson in Groton.  Rick and his family came on a Thursday and visited for several days as noted in the earlier Staycation blog to attend a Christian concert in Springfield.  Rachelle and Alan were here for the Memorial weekend to attend the Broadway production of Stomp with us in Hartford.  We all enjoyed the high energy show then went to eat at Parkville Marketplace.

Unfortunatley, now it's time to say good bye to Ron and all his kin.  And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.  You're all invited back any time to this locality  To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality.   Set a spell, Take your shoes off.  But Y'all come back now, y'hear?

Spring 2022

 

Nature's Way

© Published: July 2007

Upon a nice mid-spring day,
Let's take a look at Nature's way.
Breathe the scent of nice fresh air,
Feel the breeze within your hair.

The grass will poke between your toes,
Smell the flowers with your nose.
Clouds form shapes within the skies,
And light will glisten from your eyes.

Hear the buzzing of the bees,
Climb the tallest willow trees.
Look across the meadow way,
And you shall see a young deer play.

Pick the daisies as they grow,
Watch a gentle cold stream flow.
Know the sounds of water splash,
Catch its glimmer in a flash.

When altogether all seems sound,
Lay yourself upon the ground.
Take a moment to inhale,
And listen to Nature tell her tale...
