I couldn't hardly reach it
Said I to me I think I will
Get it for my teacher

I climbed to reach the daffodil
Out on a limb so thin
I tumbled down like Jack and Jill
And skinned my little chin; 7/27/09, 2:14 PM

Old RPM Daddy said...: My mother grew up on the South Dakota prairie. She said that clouds such as those in the photo portended a windy, windy day.

But then, she's not at all romantic. She told me she thought this Harvey Dunn painting was very bleak indeed.; 7/27/09, 2:34 PM

Elliott A said...: Ann, can you go back to that spot and take a photo in six months? It will make the summer one that much more amazing by comparison.; 7/27/09, 7:41 PM

I had a chip ahoy moment today. I was driving on a two lane road from Prestonsburg toward Goble Roberts, in a narrowish valley in the mountains, and a big black dog ran across the road further ahead of me (not like I had to brake for its safety or anything, not that close)...the dog flat out bolted across the street. Didn't see where it came from or where it went to.

Like chip ahoy's animated mystery black dog of the forest

I immediately thought, chip ahoy animated that in. How clevah to do it IRL!!!; 7/27/09, 10:29 PM

Penny said...: Thanks for that, liz.

When people I know send off the "happy"? Well I guess I need to give them a big hug back.; 7/27/09, 11:49 PM
