That's probably why it takes me so long to finish one!<br /><br />Pam, I'm with you on the cabbage front. I could make a meal of just cabbage! I love the stuff!!<br /><br />Summer Days, I had never read that poem before. Thank you so much for sharing it! I love it!!! I'm copying it down into my book of quotes and poems!Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-183079508372018442014-03-08T19:39:50.382+00:002014-03-08T19:39:50.382+00:00HI...I've followed your blog for a long time a...HI...I've followed your blog for a long time and that Poem "Trees" is the first poem I can remember ever reading and memorizing. I thought you might enjoy this response by Orson F Whitney if case you have never heard it<br /><br />Are Poets, then but clownish tools, and Poesy, the sport of fools. Surely you did not mean it friend, forgive me please, if I offend. The God who made the lovely tree, made poets too and poetry. He who fashioned the magic oak, through Shakespere and through Wordsworth spoke. He who planted the up towering pine gave form and force to Milton's line. Folly's creation! Are they so? A million voices answer no, and none among them will decree, that Kilmer was less then Kilmer's tree.Summer Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256006419364986240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-43553748383962304222014-03-08T18:33:23.358+00:002014-03-08T18:33:23.358+00:00I do love to read too.

What a gift is is to be able to read! I'm looking forward to some St. Patrick's Day food. I do love cabbage and there are so many different ways to fix it.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-45530481270553096472014-03-08T13:54:37.092+00:002014-03-08T13:54:37.092+00:00I love to read too..FAR LESS well read than you th...I love to read too..FAR LESS well read than you though:)La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-59334930784009571162014-03-08T12:41:17.394+00:002014-03-08T12:41:17.394+00:00I have not heard of those books Suzan.

I loved reading from the moment I could understand words and have always been a voracious reader. As you say, one is never bored when you have a book for company. I managed to pass that love for books on to my children as well, which is lovely to see.<br /><br />Oh that St Paddy's Day feast sounds so good! I am keeping my fingers crossed that you win that trip to the Emerald Isle.<br /><br />Enjoy the weekend. We have lovely, sunny weather today which is just the tonic we needed to brush away those winter blues.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-76831860729040820922014-03-08T11:49:48.656+00:002014-03-08T11:49:48.656+00:00We share a rich heritage of parents who taught us ...We share a rich heritage of parents who taught us to love reading as well as other wonderful things. I still use a fountain pen to write letters, still read my Bible each morning and keep a prayer/blessing and thankful journal. <br />Your watercolors are fabulous and the meal looks delicious. Perhaps I'm feeling better, food is starting to look good again.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-3331127880416211432014-03-08T08:30:14.977+00:002014-03-08T08:30:14.977+00:00Marie unless I sing something I cannot remember it...Marie unless I sing something I cannot remember it. I do remember learning Eletelephony and that is about it. A few years ago I had an operation that went very wrong and have struggled with memory ever since. You and I studied many of the same books. The major exceptions were the Australian books such as The Getting of Wisdom and The Mango Tree. Some I loathed.<br /><br />A few years ago i saw a terrific production of Jesus Christ Superstar. One young man, behind us, commented on the quality of the story and lamented he had not heard it before. How I wished I had a gospel to share with him that day.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.com
