  Featured image:   Big Pine and Chickadee Today, pine tree covered in snow, Queen Tree, sheltering many birds in winter. Glistens in The sun. We rescued that little pine along the road, Over 15 years ago. We were walking home, along a dirt road that led home. We stopped. We knew, that little pine was doomed to be vanished by spring. The snowplow has no Mercy. So we scooped her up with our hands and took her home. Planted her in our backyard. Today she is our Queen Tree so filled with beauty.

He told me that for every good thing I did I got another freckle, and that I had so many freckles that they were running together. I personally knew I hadn’t been that good, but I sure liked that story of his.

  Featured image:  Grandmother's Shawl “Grandfather,” I asked, “Why do you have a mustache?” Secretly, I didn’t like his mustache because it scratched when he kissed me on the cheek. “My dear child, if I didn’t have one what would I dust off my cookies with?” I couldn’t answer that one. As I knew cookies didn’t need dusting because I didn’t have a mustache and I ate cookies all the time. Shortly after that conversation with my grandfather I went off to camp. When I returned a month later my grandfather had passed away. I never knew my grandparents very well, but have snatches of memories of them that have stayed with me my entire life like the cookie duster. Memories are how we live forever, and the life cycle continues into infinity.
