Flag Day 2007. Fly it. Own it. Feel it always...
Good Morning All;
A very busy day yesterday, to be sorting out the big garage; pricing, sorting, tagging etc... We got through about 7 nags of 'stuff', with only a fraction to be discarded, (and yes, even a bit to be laundered first). I am shooting for the weekend following Fathers Day, and am not too sure if we will be ready... but damn, it's gonna be close. Once my sale is up and running I can open it most any day that I am home and relatively unoccupied. hehehe
Casey found my 'lost and found' tricycle... from another era that has passed away... The tricycle had been mine as a wee one; later being sold in the farm auction when Pa retired... I didn't know where it was until one day a man had called. He had gotten it for his grandchildre, but they were all grown now, and would I like it back? WOW! Of course! (I had stolen one of Dad's Implement stickers, and had put it on that trike years and years ago. Our phone # has never changed)...

Casey helped immensely; Roberta and Gabriel coming when she was done with work. We all had paperwork to fill out to get it in the mail today. But afterward, a time to walk back to the woods and to enjoy...

And the coming of the winter
Fear that is within you now
It seems to never end
And the dreams that have escaped you
And the hope that you've forgotten
You tell me that you need me now
You want to be my friend
And you wonder where we're going
Where's the rhyme and where's the reason
And it's you cannot accept
It is here we must begin
To seek the wisdom of the children
And the graceful way of flowers in the wind
For the children and the flowers
Are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness
Could clear a cloudy day
Like the music of the mountains
And the colours of the rainbow
They're a promise of the future
And a blessing for today
Though the cities start to crumble
And the towers fall around us
The sun is slowly fading
And it's colder than the sea
It is written from the desert
To the mountains they shall lead us
By the hand and by the heart
They will comfort you and me
In their innocence and trusting
They will teach us to be free
For the children and the flowers
Are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness
Could clear a cloudy day
And the song that i am singing
Is a prayer to non believers
Come and stand beside us
We can find a better way...
