DADS SATURDAYS ENTRY TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY EIGHT

" Three things in human life are important, the first is to be kind, the second is to be kind, and the third one is to be kind "


Good Morning.


My son, Jim, went fishing on Thursday to Douglas Lake. He and his buddies caught 23 nice “croppies”. They are delicious to eat, and I’m hoping he bring me a mess soon.DAD

Look at that smile, he must have saw something funny, or heard a joke from one of his friends,

P1060768



Jim loves to fish and I am glad that he is retired from Eastman and has a chance to go often. He has a nice pontoon boat, and he has two other fishermen that go with him.


If you will click on Outside Cam # 1 you will see a beautiful Flag waving in the wind and right below the Flag is a Blue Bird box with 3 or 4 baby blue birds. I have been watching them being fed today. DAD.


Measure twice- Saw once.?????????? I will explain my thought here Monday morning. DAD


P1010218


You can tell by the picture above that is just about time to be thinking about Dad's tomato sandwiches. This of course is not my main garden, just a few Bradwines on the left end of this planter, and six Bigboys on the right. Just could not wait any longer,for the Burpee plants to arrive, they will be here early next week, then you will see some action around here, Dad.

Sundays plans are about the same as usual. Our Sunday morning meeting, and then a lunch at home in Dad's kitchen with Prince, mabye a short nap in the afternoon.

Dad's Friday Entry Two Thousand Two Hundred Seventy Seven

" The way of the cross leads home"



Good Morning.


Can it be Friday already, time is sure going fast, and I am not making very good use of the short time that I have left. I had better wake up and do something useful before I leave this fading scene. One of our hymns says " Change and decay in all around I see , Oh thou who changes not abide with me "

You may have noticed in the label for this post I said " save your eggs " now you may not know what that means to me, when I was a little boy many years ago we were raised in a happy but poor home. My mother had a few chickens that she kept and she sold the eggs to help buy other things, and just a few days before Easter she would save the the eggs to color and hide them for her happy children to search for. Oh what fun we had. Dad


Oh what a difference in the lives of our young people today. Dad.


I wish that I could stay and visit you a little longer, but I must get out of here and try to earn at least the salt that goes in my bread.


I am feeling good enough to even Smile this morning, I do hope to see you in the early morning,

Pansies (650 x 410)-1


From Joan: "Here is a photo of my basket of Pansies and a poem about Pansies by Cindy Lynn"


Pansies


Petals of velvet, colors so bright,


Smiling and nodding long into the night.


Round, joker faces that dance with the moon,


Lilting and tilting a flower song tune.


Warm summer sunbeams captured for all


By round little flowers so sweet and so small.


Bright pansy colors so sweet and so small.


Reflecting the moonbeams that dance in the night.



"A critic is a man who knows the way, but can't drive the car."

Here is one that our friend Joan sent to us.


Roses


You love the roses - so do I.


I wish The sky would rain down roses, as they rain


From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?


Then all the valley would be pink and white


And soft to tread on.


They would fall as light


As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be


Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!


by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)


And look for more short Videos


This is all that I am going to have right now, But I will keep this open awhile to get any thing new that might come in.


Be sure that you go to my Side Panel for any thing that I don't have here, you will find it there. I will see you Monday morning.
