The Wild Unknown Beyond the sloping lawn and trees, Lies a lake where every breeze Ruffles up the water's face And shifts the reeds from place to place. It brings to me the scent of bog. Of moss that grows on fallen log. A hint of wilderness and more About the land outside my door. The geese who stop here on their way To where they build their nests and lay, All seem to find a lot to eat And when they leave, I hear the beat Of many wings against the sky, Accompanied by their haunting cry. It raises up a longing to Explore the wild, the way they do, But yet I know it's not for me. I'm planted where I need to be! Betty Lou Hebert |

Wonderful writing, Betty Lou. I wonder if those geese come to Alaska to nest and spend the summer. Makes the world seem so much smaller. Alison |

Dear Alison: I'm sure some of those geese make their way to Alaska. They like the tundra country of northern Canada I know. I grew up there and can remember the huge flocks we used to see. Thanks for reading. Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

You always paint a great picture of nature. I enjoyed the read. ...It raises up a longing to Explore the wild, the way they do, But yet I know it's not for me. I'm planted where I need to be!... I, too, wish I could spend more time in the wild. Thanks, Melton |

Dear Joyce: Thanks for your message. Ron and I are keeping busy, as my older son is getting married here on the banks of Marie Creek, on July 4th. We are only having about 40 people, so it is small and casual. We are all looking forward to it. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Melton: I appreciate your nice remarks and thank you for reading. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time camping and fishing in the wilder areras and loved it. It's pretty much a thing of the past now though. Great memories however. Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
