Oh, Amy, how pretty! And thanks for sending me Jane’s poem and a couple of graphics to choose from to illustrate it!

[Billie]

I’ve never seen a goat with *that* pretty a coat! Actually, most of the goats I’ve seen are either black and white or just dirty white anyway!

[Billie]

Giggle, that tickles!!!!! How darling!

Jeff has many interested gals..He is really wanting to have a little $$ where withall before he gets involved & settles down. He essentially has nothing. The ex & kids/boyfriend are living in the home he rebuilt. He had given her full title 10 years ago when they were separated for about a year. Not sure of details but I think it was in exchange for some equity $$$ for living. He is really good with c♠hildren & has been even when he was younger.. would play with & supervise younger kids of friends in our various social circles. Well got to bed at 7:30 and up at 12:30. Not doing very well with early to bed, early to rise am I?)

I Come To The Garden Alone

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

Refrain

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

Refrain

I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.

Refrain

~ What did the grape say when it got stepped on?
Nothing - but it let out a little whine.

~ Police were called to a daycare where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

~ A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.

~ A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two-tired.

Spring Rain

I thought I had forgotten, But it all came back again To-night with the first spring thunder In a rush of rain. I remembered a darkened doorway Where we stood while the storm swept by, Thunder gripping the earth And lightning scrawled on the sky. The passing motor busses swayed, For the street was a river of rain, Lashed into little golden waves In the lamp light's stain. With the wild spring rain and thunder My heart was wild and gay; Your eyes said more to me that night Than your lips would ever say. . . . I thought I had forgotten, But it all came back again To-night with the first spring thunder In a rush of rain. Sarah Teasdale

Rain...

I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can’t do a handstand–
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said–
I’m just not the same since there’s rain in my head.
