" Take up thy cross the Saviour said, if thou would my Disciple be"

Good Morning.

I am surprised this morning, I don't know what to think. I don't have anything to complain about, and you know that it is hard for me to talk without something being wrong. Well you know yesterday morning I was so worried, I had plans and the rain was on the way, well listen to this, the rain did not come and we had the most beautiful day that we have had in a long time, and if you will look at Cam # 2 you will get an idea of what things are going to look like. I am ready to get those plants in the ground around April 15 if the frost scare is over. Burpee will not ship plants until they are sure that the time is safe.

Weather
Today ..3/15/11

I think with Irish Day this week and another day of showers in your forecast, a little Irish Blessing might help. Joan.

"May the blessing of the rain be on you—the soft sweet rain.May it fall upon your spirit so that all the little flowers may spring up,and shed their sweetness on the air."

I am going bringing this to a stop for the present time 2:19 a. m.

I may stop in a few times during the day, since it looks like I wont get to be outside if the rain comes

I am leaving you with plenty of Sumatra x bold waiting on you, help yourself.

I am feeling very good this morning , in a good mood and ready to get busy. I hope to see you in the morning if all is well. Sending Love and best wish to all of you in this troubled world.

.The Bridge Builder

An old man going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.

“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting your strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again will pass this way;
You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build this bridge at evening tide?”

The builder lifted his old gray head;
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followed after me to-day
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been as naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”

By Will Allen Dromgoole. Sent ti Dad by Joan.

I think that I am back in buisness, my edit is working again at 6:05 a.m, I am late getting to see Oreo so I am going to rush to Sara's Dog Training and talk to Sara, she will bring me up to date. Thanks Sara, you are a good friend. DAD

Good Morning.

We are starting the day with a beautiful poem, do you know any better way to get us to feeling good and maybe help to get us going. A cup of x bold would taste good right now, the best way of all is to " Begin the day with God".

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
....
By Robert Frost. Sent to me by Joan.

Hold up your Chin.

Pluck brings its reward

Reverses don't kill

If fate hits you hard

Strike back with a will

Let us do what we can

Still hold up your chin

For the world loves a man

Who never gives in.

And for all the base lies that the almanacs hold.
While we've youth in our hearts, we can never grow old.

Here below are a few comments one from Chabbing Pollock and the rest from Ronald Reagan, it is interesting to read his thoughts. DAD
....

"The only good luck many great men ever had was being born with the ability and determination to overcome bad luck." Channing Pollock

'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.' -Ronald Reagan

'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' -
Ronald Reagan

'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.' -Ronald Reagan

'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'-Ronald Reagan

'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.. -Ronald Reagan

'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.' -Ronald Reagan

'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.' -Ronald Reagan

'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.' -Ronald Reagan

'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.' -Ronald Reagan

'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it, and if it stops moving, subsidize it' -Ronald Reagan

'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.' -Ronald Reagan

'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.' -Ronald Reagan

'If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.' -Ronald Reagan
....

I never saw a moor,
I never saw the sea;
Yet know I how the heather looks,
And what a wave must be.

I never spoke with God
Nor visited in heaven;
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the chart were given.
By Emily Dickinson

I am going right now to see Sara and Oreo at Sara's Dog Training blog, I like to find out about him early in the morning. DAD.

TUESDAYS ENTRY TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FORTY SIX

Our friend Joan sent this picture and wrote: "The sun has been out most of the afternoon but the crab apple tree in our backyard is still a Magical Ice Tree."


"Life is so short; use it well."

Good Morning,


Results and Roses

The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.

The things are mighty few on earth,
That wishes can attain;
Whate're we want of any worth
We've got to work to gain.

It matters not what goal you seek;
Its secret here reposes;
You've got to dig from week to week
To get results or roses."
Author Unknown

Good Morning Sara hope that all is well up where you are, I know that it is cold but some day spring is going to come, Sara have you ever seen that tree at the top, since it is in your state I thought you may have. I am going to look at your blog Sara's Dog Training blog and find out about Oreo. Keep him warm. DAD.

Some times the link above will not take you to Sara and Oreo, see if this works .Sara's Dog Training DAD,

We had an elderly Lady stay with us and she shared some excellent notes. They were very good for me. I hope you don't mind me sending them to you. Scott•

Three thieves that come when we pray: Hurry, Worry, and Weariness• The kindest form of correction is example.• Worry is like sitting in a rocking chair; it gives us something to do but doesn’t get us anywhere.• Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only robs today of its strength.• The word worry is not in the bible; but the meaning is Philippians 4:6 “be careful for nothing”• If we lack faith we tend to worry, if we lack love we tend to be critical, if we lack grace we tend to be impatient.• Worry gives small things a big shadow.

Thanks Scott for sending this above, I needed it. Why worry ? Starting this moring I am going to stop. DAD.
