DADS WEDNESDAYS ENTRY TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY SIX

Good Morning

I am asking you before you have your coffee, how are you this morning ? I am feeling good but I belive that a cup of that x bold would make me feel better.

We did get a few more links added to our side panel, and we will be adding a few more later as we think of others, if any of you think of any that we have left out just let us know. I do hope that you will enjoy them. I may not have the entry # just right, but I have a had a few busy days, I will get it right.

We are still having rain, a shower almost every afternoon, but that is fine with me, A few tomatoes plants from Burpee should arrive this morning, and we will be getting them in the ground replacing the ones that we lost by the hail storm. We may not have as many plants as we expected but I think that we are going to have some good home grown tomatoes.

This weekend in Albany NY the 63rd annual Tulip Festival will be here to celebrate the city's Dutch Heritage. When the sun shines on the 200,000+ tulips, it is a magical site that takes your breath away.

This is a lovely video of TULIPS and a poem about TULIPS by A.E. Stallings

TULIPS

By A.E. Stallings

The tulips make me want to paint,

Something about the way they drop

Their petals on the tabletop

Something about their burnt-out hearts,

Something about their pallid stems

Wearing decay like diadems,

Parading finishes like starts,

Something about the way they twist

As if to catch the last applause,

And drink the moment through long straws,

And how, tomorrow, they’ll be missed.

The way they’re somehow getting clearer,

The tulips make me want to see—

The tulips make the other me

(The backwards one who’s in the mirror,

The one who can’t tell left from right),

Glance now over the wrong shoulder

To watch them get a little older

And give themselves up to the light.
