It has been a week and the sun is just not cooperating, we will keep at it but for some reason the cloud bank is just too big. Anyway we are home and my tan is hidden under layers of clothing.far to many to show any signs of sunshine, I have been doing a bit of creating, working on a APWQ's challenge almost finished and I did some brides pillows for future wedding gifts we have two young ladies next door who will marry this fall, nice young ladies who have chosen young men with a future and they have jobs and come from good families. Marriage is a life long decision it brings two families together and it takes maturity and careful planning to succeed. If the families do not join unhappy times are ahead. It is the woman who becomes the new daughter she must choose well, she must make a wise and thoughtful choice because her choice is her legacy to her own family history, she continues the family story whether good or bad it is her choice that makes the next connection to her past. I am proud of my family story there are many good people who have made a positive mark on our country's history, we have no criminals or thieves all have made their mark in a positive way maybe not great but they made a positive mark, doctors, attorneys, business owners, members of Parliaments, secretaries of state, judges veterans social workers, ministers laypeople, bakers, engineers, real estate land and owners all tax payers and good citizens I come from productive people who have made a positive mark on society. I wonder how many young women realize how important their decision is to the future....Today there are so many children born out of wedlock not knowing their history and they probably never will the blood lines are broken heritage lost. Sometimes I feel like some kind of odd ball caring about these things do they really matter anymore? I wonder for me they do matter I want my grand children's children to have the best chance possible to succeed; families are just that they are family and they must come together and pull together for the future of the young. I will not even go into what divorce does so good luck young lovers, you are now the keepers of the future.
My my I do not know what that had to do with the clouds anyway I am back.

Leaves of God Fall 2009
My seasons have flown by so fast
I can hardly remember the details of my budding
I bloomed far too early forced by natures call
The flower of my youth stolen
My spring lost
I could not hold my bloom
As fruit required all my time
That season of summer went so fast
Consumed by my fruit youth slipped away
Never to swing freely in the warm summers breeze
I held fast lest my fruit should fall
Hot summer days turn to chilly nights
My fruit now ripe hear falls call
They release to face their own unknown
I watch as they fall free
My branches lift from their weight
I stand-alone the crisp air begins to blow
Indian summer comes with new love
I bask in the crisp sun light
My beauty is seen and shared
With the bloom of crimson leaves
My golden years begin
Too soon, I see my skin begin to shrivel
Youths golden beauty slips into grey
My hold on the tree of life seems futile
The frost of winter comes so fast
I hold tight lest I fall
So many leaves are falling
I watch as they let go one by one
My winter is here my time has come
The cold ground awaits my fall
The snows of winter cover my memory
Yet the family tree still stands
Spring will come
New leaves will unfold
The seasons of life begins again
