Good morning, Rus! Hope you are having a great Monday.

Thank you for today's lesson. It and the coffee are great.

[JustAmy]

That is the cutest picture!!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Alamo-Girl

Thank you!!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

hehe ! I still chuckle every time I post that.

I'm on SheLion's ping list for the smoking threads.

I often post that pic on those threads.

I'm on Registered's email list for his new pics. I got one Saturday that I'm going to my PhotoDeluxe software to make it a little smaller and upload to my website. I'll post it here after I get it done.

LOL

My horse might have been in Tibet; losing by 11+ lengths hardly had him in the race! :)

[JustAmy]

Ooooops .... forgot to thank you for the pictures!!

Thank you for sharing these.

[Alamo-Girl]

I wish you a beautiful day, JustAmy!

Good morning, Darks.

Seems that winter months caused damage everywhere. We lost two orange trees and a couple of flowering vines. The heavy frost severly damages two avocados. The avocados will make it but will probably need this year to get back to where they were last year.

Hope you are having a marvelous Monday.

[JustAmy]

Okay ... looking forward to seeing it!

[Darksheare]

So far, yes!
Only a few people angry about the water ballon artillery barrage, but they shouldn't throw stuff into the yard.
/ bad joke

Seriously though, so far it's been nice and quiet.
peaceful.
And I'm fine with that.
Especially after pulling up Sumac by hand.

I just noticed something. That is the first pic I recall
Registered doing that he didn't put his name on it.

I know that when some of our poems/graphics are posted both here and at the Finest, many will see them twice, but I'll try not to ping the same ones here as I did there.

There have been times when the poem and graphic are of a patriotic theme and it's a shame 'not' to share the poems in both places. With that in mind, Bob wrote this lovely poem for a graphic I had already posted a couple of times, and for those who missed his warm, sweet poem there, I hope you enjoy it here. :)

Graphic by Billie

Enfolding

Grandpa has a handful now, to pray for and to add,
A little bit of sweetness to the prayer he sends for Dad.
His son has left a gift behind, to hold a place for him,
And keep the heart lines open while he does a chore for them.

Everybody’s thoughts are for the one who isn’t there,
But clearly in this picture there is not a lack of care.
This child is safely held within strong hands with tender grace,
That pray to have the same thing for his son, another place.

We’d like to take a moment to assist them in their cares,
And add our grateful voices to the chorus of their prayers.
Lord, hold the child and man within your strong enfolding arm,
And keep them in your thoughts as you protect them both from harm.

Thanks for starting today's thread with this, Amy. :) A fun surprise the way you interpreted the pic, Bob!

[Mama_Bear]

Bravo!!!

Thank you, but my contributiion was the easy part.

Lulabelle and KC are precious.

[Mama_Bear]

Now that is an impressive frame! Very nice!

[Billie]

Thanks for waiting for me to draw the picture (not literally!) for this poem - hope it conveys your message, NnB. Your poetry machine never rests!

[Darksheare]

Thank you.

[Billie]

Thanks, PAL - I always read and appreciate your compliments, but so many times all I can get to is 'reading'! ('sides, you're sometimes on the day before's thread!)

[Billie]

Thank you, AG - I'm a little partial to black and white, or tinted, graphics. :)
