Something's In The Garden...

Strange scratches by the creek...

could it be ole Three Toes walking the valley again?

The Borders are sniffing the garden,

they know a strange animal has been here.

The smell remained,

but the strange critter was gone.

The Things I've Learned...

to view the world through the eyes of a child,

to enjoy the moment,

and how to feed a bottle baby through a crack in the door.

I have learned there is beauty,

even in destruction.

Treasured moments make memories,

and new life flourishes in bullsh**t,

and some days,

even web worms can wear diamonds.

Through Marcy's Eyes...

You may remember Marcy's camera died.

Our gift to her is a new camera for her birthday.

Marcy is my oldest sister

and delights us with her photos.

The mineral block on a rock drill core.

Spring is coming.

Marcy sees things I may never notice.

Her perceptions are fascinating

Her subjects are extraordinary.

Thank you, Marcy, for fixing my lunch,

for canning the produce,

for loving us all,

and for the great pictures.

Happy Birthday, Marcy!
