Thank you for today's Welcome Graphic.
I love the slower life style that it portrays.

Thank you for your contributions to Amy's Place.

Desert Spread

While riding through the arid West,
came upon an oasis, quite picturesque.
Gentle rolling hills with tall shade trees,
grassy green meadows and a mild breeze.

Water ponds fed by a rippling brook,
I knew it was home with my first look.
How was it this place had come to be,
in the midst of this desert? A mystery.

Started thinking of what I'd call this spread,
knew it would graze at least two hundred head.
Came upon four wide-of-the-mark buckaroos,
and they all were wearing curious shoes.

We talked of this spread and what it's about,
and I sure felt stupid there's no doubt.
But one thing I did come to understand.
A golf course is a waste of good pastureland!
