A Fairy Tale

A Fairy Tale

Pictures I have gathered on my journey over the hill and far away

When I was young and used to dream

I liked to go where the fairies played.

I would go over the hill and far away

To follow the path the toadstools made.

The Wee Ones are easy to find, once you know where to look,

They live in the shadows, down by the brook.

They're up on the hill and in the meadows too

They live by the flowers, pink, red and blue.

Now that I'm retired with nothing to do,

I can follow that path and so can you.

The fairies are there, if you have time to look,

Remember...  they live in the shadows by the brook.

But the Flowers Got in the Way

But the Flowers Got in the Way,

      Flowers at Gamble Garden in Palo Alto, California 2/9/2012

I wanted to go for a walk today,

But the flowers got in the way.

I wanted to go to the track and run,

 Burning some calories sounded like fun,

                  But the flowers got in the way.                                                 

. 

The sun was out and my shoes were on,

Dishes were done and I'd mowed the lawn,

But the flowers got in the way.

I started to walk, I really did want to go,

But Mother Nature decided to put on a show,

I wanted to go for a walk today.

When the trees are in bloom and their fragrance is in the air,

Sometimes you need to stop and sit and smell and stare.

I wanted to go for a walk today,

But the flowers really did get in the way.

Today I stopped and smelled the Daphne - I wish I could share that with you.

Californians are Misunderstood

Californians are Misunderstood
      Scarecrows of Cambria California

We're not all a bunch of hippies in California

A few of us don't even know how to surf

Not all Californians are from Wonderland...

or oz

Some of us work hard,

and grow old.

There is diversity in California

and we're proud of that.

But we do know how to have fun in California

And we know how to enjoy life.

 Keep your self grounded and enjoy a walk around the lake or a day in the garden.

Life is good.
