Busy Weekend

The weekend was another event filled time. We walked several laps of the football track during Saturday afternoon and stayed for the closing luminary ceremony. It was a very enjoyable and tremendously inspiring day. We plan to do it again next year. But, we think we would like to go to the opening ceremony in the morning and then return at sun down when the closing ceremony takes place.

This is a 2000 painting by artist P. Buckley Moss. Be sure to check out her website.

Sunday morning we attended church and it was Earth Day Sunday. The gardener in me really enjoyed one of the songs which we sang called - - -

THE GARDEN SONG
 by David Mallett

CHORUS
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low
Gonna make it fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please keep them safe below
'Till the rain comes tumbling down

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
We are made of dreams and bones
Need a place to call my own
'Cause the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
Tune my body and my brain
To the music of the land
CHORUS
Plant your rows straight and long
Season with a prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her loving care
CHORUS
An old crow watching from a tree
From his perch in youder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there
CHORUS

Almost every Sunday following church services, we join very good friends for Brunch. Following Brunch we stopped by one of the local wineries for a little tasting. About a week ago we met the owners while we were out for dinner and they came over to our table to talk, commenting on how happy we looked.  Believe it or not, this is happening to us a lot!  Living in a little community tends to make people very friendly. It can be very enjoyable.

Hope you had a Fabulous weekend.
