I was talking about the second poem and it seems folks never come around when we really need them! Sorry about the rain but I hope he can get the digging done soon enough! sam

The poem felt like wonderful embrace and then as usual the ending caught me off guard and there I am left to feel a bit sad and yet laughing too! Go figure! It makes for great poetry in my eye though! KUDOS! sam

Re: Lion
No problem if you have a well lion. I bet you feel like doing it for nothing when they scratch your seed bed.

Re: adnohr
Adnohr grapes look so cold along now, but I suppose they come from warmer climes.The story is my Mother's. Perhaps you are happier as you are.

Yum! Grapes are on my favorite food list. Your brother certainly made a mistake - but the first mistake came from the Mary-Ann who would even commission such a thing! Oak and Ivy left me with a wistful feeling, wishing for something that is no longer there.

Re: FS
No FS not the weather for grapes, at least bananas have got a coat on them.
I think the price has gone up for nobbling cats.

Re: Kabu
I suppose you get cherries all the year around in Australia. I like those big black ones the tree I have is usually covered in red and yellow ones, but as it is the only Cherry tree around here it is a job to grab a handful when they are ripe. The blackbirds test them daily.

Re: Wiley
Hi Bro, thought it was the computer playing up. Hope you feel a bit better it takes a while for pills to take effect as you know. And nice warm rain would do you a lot of good.

Re: i always enjoy visiting your blog
Hi JS.Somehow, I feel that the shops have become rather boring there is so much to choose from and not so much fun somehow. Times have always been hard in the past for poor people, actually it was my uncle. I always try to cut the root of ivy, except I have an old Hawthorn tree which I have let the Ivy possess as it does provide cover for small birds. Thank you.

i always enjoy visiting your blog
its strange about prices, it use to be you could count on the price of something to be less the more you bought, but lately i have noticed it can be the other way around. when i buy large quantities i too have to know who i will share it with.
bess1914- i felt so bad for your brother, in his hand-me-downs, willing to kill the cat for a few pence. to have done a good job of it only to find out he had killed a cat for nothing.
oak and ivy- well the oak is strong, straight and unmovable, while the ivy is clingy and needy, best it finds something else to grow on.

Dreadful, killing that poor cat! But I guess in 1914 sixpence meant a lot to a kid, and with a war on life was cheap...
But the poem is fascinating! 
Oh, and here's your gold star!

We are supposed to get some rain but it'll probably be snow. Send Archie over here to shovel the back walk and the deck. Bess 1914 was just priceless poetry, I'm still laughing so hard I thought you'd hear me. Oak & Ivy, and your did the priceless write again Bro.

A wistful poem filled with that question, "What if?" and arousing the feeling of "so close and yet so far"....
