Every time I go out there, to the wild off-road out-of-control, a place it seems I have no care, just frolicking around with my bowl, I tend to ignore the dangers and let the fantasy hit me, I very often scare the strangers... if it were a snake, it woulda bit me. Every push-back of every leaf reveals a sweet and juicy gem, I smile and pull and forget my grief, and strangers, I simply wave at them. I always sing that song to me because I surely can relate, living is easy with eyes closed, seeing what I want to see... no one I think is in my tree- or maybe it is just my fate. |

You take some risks, but it does you good I think. You may not be understood by strangers, but Nature and you surely have a deep bond. Sometimes it is necessary to focus on what gives us pleasure, letting the worries fade into silence and adjust. Enjoyed this much. Love and hugs. Margherita |

What a sweet poem if only I didn't worry so much I could have more fun and be a bit more at ease. Nice poem |

Dixie, What an eye you have for photography and nature! It's nature that reels me back when things aren't going so well. I cheated this year and bought strawberry plants that alread had ripe strawberries on them, but still, they didn't look anything like your gorgeous strawberry patch! It's good reading you again! miscellanea |

a snake! I think I will just buy mine from the Farmer's Market thank you very much. That strawberry looks like an acorn, and made me think of Lyra, Madam Chipmunk. Great poem and pictures. |

"I very often scare the strangers..." Made me laugh! You and me both Babe; you and me both. |
