Sorry I have not been posting! We are all well and doing great. But our computer has a virus and I have not been able to download pictures. As soon as we fix it I will quickly try to get caught up on all you have missed! But for now in honor of Mother's Day enjoy this little poem that I love!
I am an acorn
full of potential, in need of nourishing
with sun and soil and rain
I sprout, upward and down
I am a seedling
surrounded by siblings
sending shoots and roots
I explore, grow and expand
I am a sapling
reaching for the sun
tall, trim, flexible
I yearn for more
I am a tree
roots diving deeper and deeper
my canopy spreads
I grow in strength and stature
I grow in strength and stature
I am an oak
soaring above the valley
victor over fire and flood
I breathe life to all around me
I breathe life to all around me
seasoned, wise
Mostly, I raise acorns
From this book
By Oliver and Rachel DeMille
I highly recommend it!

GOOD!
Sorry about the virus...maybe pour anti-plague in the C drive? Couldn't hurt.
Good Luck!!
very profound! It made me think of the analogy about the acorn that you told me on the phone. It was so good to talk to you. I love the pictures, they are beautiful, but how about some family pics? I love and miss you all. Mom
Man, it has been a while since I checked out the blogging world! I'm missed out on a lot. Sorry, I need to be better. Thanks for the poem I love it! I have a book I need to let you read some day. I LOVE it. I ordered one for each of my kids when the time is right. It is about an acorn. I'm so impressed with the knitting. The trees. You are amazing and I love you! I'm so glad your my friend!
