Rambling Friday: The Good Ole Summertime!

"Summertime is always the best of what might be."

I love this fun quote! 

For me, summertime is

a wonderful time of:

warmth, sunsets and bicycles

The fourth of July and what all it stands for!

Lying in clover and studying the stars

Long country walks and spotting something unexpected 

Watching the birds (and rabbits) playing from our porch swing

Sitting by the pond and listening to the frogs croak

And more...much more!

HAPPY SUMMER!

Rambling Friday: A Cup of Wisdom

 How much happier and contented would we be 

if we all followed these words of wisdom 

on this mug? 

Think about it! 

Have a beautiful day!

Rambling Fridays: Birds and Puppy Dogs

It's always relaxing and fun to enjoy time spent with people you love. Recently I was able to spend an evening with my youngest grandson. I allowed him to choose the eating place and we visited one of his favorite places: a pet shop to connect with some of the animals. 

It's not only rewarding for me to savor throughout the following days, but it builds rapport between us, making memories, solidifying our relationship, and establishing a pattern of enjoying creative activities that are good for both of us.

Here are a few pics of that evening:

Puppy Time! Sweet couple...

Building important relationships with children is important!

What do you do to enjoy time with your loved ones?

Sunday Morning Peace: April

The Day Before April

May Carolyn Davis

The day before April,

Alone, alone,

I walked in the woods

and sat on a stone.

I sat on a broad stone

and sang to the birds.

The tune was God's making,

But I made the words.

Sunday Morning Peace

It's Almost Time!

for Spring, that is.

Loved this cute poem. 

So aptly describes how I feel 

even though I'm thankful for all the days God gives me. 

Enjoy.

The First Bluebird

Jest rain and snow! and rain again!

And dribble! drip! and blow!

Then snow! and thaw! and slush! and then--

Some more rain and snow!

This morning I was 'most afeard

To wake up--when, I jing!

I seen the sun shine out and heerd

The first bluebird of spring!

Mother she'd raised the winder some;

And in acrost the orchard come,

Soft as an angel's wing,

A breezy, treesy, beesy hum,

Too sweet for any thing!

The winter's shroud was rent apart--

The sun bust forth in glee,

And when that bluebird sung, my hart

Hopped out of bed with me!

--James Whitcomb Riley

Fly Away, Fly Away

Wherefore Wings
by Evaleen Stein

Heigho, sparrow! Reckless of the rain;

When chill the cheerless wind grows,

Chirping might and main!

Is it naught, then, when the rose

Blows again?

Beating, sleeting on your draggled coat!

Surely, 'tis enough to drownAny happy note

Nestling in that downy brown

Little throat.Ah me, sparrow!

Had I but your power,

Think you in the freezing sleet I would waste an hour?

--I'd sing my sweetest to a sweet

Orange flower
