"Did you go to link on NnB’s poem? Cardhu was the first to comment on it. It was good to see him here."

I was aware of that before I posted the poem. It was one of the few times Cardhu and I chatted directly.

I agree. It was good to reminisce about that time.

In fact, the image that was originally associated with that poem came from Cardhu, I believe; A laughing young girl in a meadow.

It is left as an exercise for the reader what little girls in meadows have to do with fruits and seeds, but here's a clue:

In time, the blossom yields a fruit,
With promised swelling growth,
Full sweetness for the Gardener,
And seeds within for both.

On occasion, when I go to an old thread in search of something, I get so involved that I could spend hours there. There are so many great poems and so many wonderful graphics.

There are several friends that we no longer see here. What happened to OESY? Is Conspiracy Guy still on FR? TulipTree? Dutchess? Where is WayzataJohn?
