The poem below is a little bit sad, yet so comforting, that God will be with us to the end.

Dear Lord, in some dim future month, or day,
Abides the hour, the solemn hour, when Thou shalt take my soul away.
That year, that month that day of days, come soon, come late, I know not when.
Oh Thou who rulest all my ways, oh Lord of Life whom Death obeys,
Be with me then, be with me then.

Somewhere upon this globe of ours is hid the spot where I must die,
Where 'mid the snow, or 'mid the flowers,my form, will coffined lie. In north or south or east or west, at home, abroad, I know not where.
Oh tender Father; Lord of grace Whose presence fills the realms of space,
Be with me there, be with me there.

By fire? By flood? By famine sore, by sudden stroke, By slow decay?
When death's dark angel's at my door, how shall it call my soul away?
God only knows, He bends the bow, and He alone can fire the dart.
Yet care I not when, where or how the end shall come, Dear Lord,
If Thou wilt then but shield me in Thine Heart.
Author Unknown

This is all for this day. I must stop for some of that Starbucks Sumatra x bold and a much needed nap, Prince is already taking his..

I hope to see you in the morning if all is well. I have enjoyed my visit with you this morning.

We are sending you our LOVE and best wishes to everyone, every where in this troubled world. My wishes would be for us all to be able to live with peace in our hearts. Try to RELAX today if possible.

Good Morning.

....

No these tomatoes are not out of my garden, a little to early for that, these are Burpee tomatoes. These are the kind that I will be putting in the ground in a few weeks. Mary and I purchased us a new printer/ scanner/ coppier and Mary was testing it out. It is a HP wireless and it is doing wonderfully, we will be able to give you more good pictures when they get here. DAD

....

An another reason for the picture being up there is that I am just feeling a little low and sad this morning and I thought the picture of a good red ripe home grown tomato might cheer me up.DAD

We need to go see how Sara and Oreo are doing I can't rest untill I know that all is well. If I just click on this link Sara will let me know Sara's Dog Training blog.

Eagle Web Cam...This has been good for the last few days, See the eaglets being fed.

" 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.

Eagle Web Cam.. The eagles have hatched, they were beautiful yesterday and should be this morning. Watch them feed their babies.

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.

Do you need something to start your smile this Saturday morning. Here it is below.

You will need to click on the backup button above after you visit this one above and the one right below, to continue. Thanks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4lIFEDFYIw....The above is interesting, about the earthquake. DAD

.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.
