I remember vividly my grandparents and their friends telling me rich, colorful yarns about all manner of natural phenomenon. My maternal grandfather was an especially good story-teller...and he whittled toys for us as he talked.

Wish I still had one of those toys...

Nothing better on a quiet Sunday afternoon than listening to him tell us how the frog got his big mouth while he carved a slingshot for one of us kids (my brother broke quite a few windows).

Today, we are all much too busy for such things...very sad.

You're right. Let's quit this freeping and go outside for a roll in the hay nature walk.
