Howdy howdy all!
Well I suppose ya'll reckoned that the last entry was all of the country-time photos that I had....well ya'll was mistaken cause I gots plenty more where those came from! LOL. Just a couple of shots I truly love...the first one is of some of my late grandmother's property.... The picture isnt that great because for some reason I was having trouble keeping a steady hand...go figure...
My great Aunt Eva's old house....she used to tell me all the time how I was a "purty black gal"! Ahhh the South...good times. We are supposed to start cleaning up the area and trying to rebuild the house soon. It was built in the early part of the 1900s or the late 1800s and we want to keep the original fireplace above all else...
Oh and here is a photo of yours truly...well the top of my freshly braided head anyway...thanks Courtney-Lynne (my baby cousin who in true southern fashion has 2 first names and a middle name). Check out my forehead heat rash!
How about some poetry...here goes...
Nature, The Gentlest Mother
Nature, the gentlest mother,
Impatient of no child,
The feeblest or the waywardest,
Her admonition mild
In forest and the hill
By traveller is heard,
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impetuous bird.
How fair her conversation,
A summer afternoon,
Her household, her assembly;
And when the sun goes down
Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
Of the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.
When all the children sleep
She turns as long away
As will suffice to light her lamps;
Then, bending from the sky
With infinite affection
And infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.--Emily Dickinson
