When the past folds into the present!

OH JOY!  Wonders of the universe have allowed reconnections with ladies from my elementary school years, the village!

We gathered at a restaurant, were quite a raucous crew!  The excitement was wonderful!

Denise, Mary, Barbara, Delia

Seeing familiar faces, recognizeable faces, long-wished for faces is exhilerating!

Photos were passed around, by several of us at the same time!  Conversations started new conversations! Photos were taken by the dozens! 

We want to stay in touch!  Imagine!?

"Time it was, time it was, oh what a time it was...preserve your memories, there all that is left you."

Comments were made about the value of friends from the early formative years.  Why are these so special?  Perhaps, it was ventured, these were the people that accepted you as you were?  We were innocent?

We talked of the school principal, Mr. Lemire, he taught 5th and 6th grade, and his ruler!
We talked about how we each got scattered to the downtown schools.

It is wonderful to see these people; their lives, children and grandchildren! Something about seeing them again, and those wonderful, hold-tightly hugs that make me feel complete!  Soothed and excited at the same time!
Yet, it brings other memories back, also!
And, I can't help but wonder what my life might have been if we had stayed in touch.

My Emerald Playground.

Spring Ebbs

Swords of light green new growth, up to a foot long,  now blend into the lush green of the mother plants.

Trees are draped in their emerald summer gowns.

                                                          Leaves wave as I pass.

                                                         Do they remember me?

                                                       Birds sing to them in joy!

Paterned Cows lay upon the dewy, juicy grass in shaded slanting meadows.

                                                           Why isn't milk green?!

My drive to work is through a tunnel of green, so many shades of green!

                                            White clouds come to admire the scenery.

Farmstands are open, revelling in the early production!  Plants are confused.

July blooms are here. Green is interspersed with white daisy, with tiger lilly!

Nights have been very cool, days sweltering! 

Behind in rainfall. 

 Rivers have dwindled.

The deer like it here!

You can see and feel  the Chi Energy of Ferns! 

There must be a Fern Deva nearby!

  Ruth has a fondness for the Laurel. 

It is Laurel time here in the woodlands.
