I am getting this diary up since the numbers are climbing on the last one and next thing you know it will be even higher.
What a lot of fun we’ve had in this last week with our welcoming new members. Hope some of you have had a chance to relax and enjoy our great site here.
Gardening diary is coming this Sat. so get your stories and pics ready..
Seems we all have a lot to say to each other so keep on talking and mingling.
Oldsters on this site jump in whenever you like and post whatever you like.
I must have given out a gazillion 4’s in the last week, but I’m sure there are many more to come.
See my info page for all the past newbie diaries.
Have some strawberries from me.
Here is a poem I wrote in 1985
How I don’t know.
Out of bits of this and pieces of that perhaps!
I want to sow and I want to grow,
All the little seeds of my life,
Pull the weeds and till the soil
And in the fall reap the harvest once sowed.
Treasures past and moments gone,
Like rivers flowing to the sea,
Become one with God’s great eternity.
The sun arises and sets each day,
And my life begins and ends that way.
To light my life with living full
and leave but not a deed undone,
that is my quest,
and not to miss this moment lest,
It leaves my life with emptiness
That is why, these moments with you I treasure,
For soon they will be gone,
with the flick of a feather.
Would that I could hold them close to me,
Clutch them tightly to my breast,
But alas, I can only hold them forever,
Resting in my memory.
