Grandma's Acreage Isis' Nature Challenge No place in the world I would rather be then standing back in time at my grandmother's knee In fields of green and apple trees grandma's farm house was tucked in between neatly as can be Ten acres of country side where deer loped and raccoons sneaked the fresh spring water gurgling sweet rubber boots we'd wear and hike to the top of hill and watch wheat blowing gently in the wind lavender lilacs dwelled near the golden daffodils - orange poppies smiled at the gnarly pear trees grass stains became part of our knees sniffing sea air floating through the air picking cherries off the cherry trees watching grasshoppers making great hops finding tree frogs on the side of the pond grandma's is where my heart has always belonged Though I live on five acres nearly the same though the air smells of roses and evergreen my favorite nature spot stays in my mind For peace and tranquility where only nature talks sits gently in my memories of childhood to grandma's acreage, where she used to walk ~netswan |

Netswan, Grandma's Acreage sure sounds beautiful!! To have the farm and the added bonus of sea air too!! Heaven!!! How wonderful for you to have such special memories of her place and her. Wonderful work and thanks for sharing it with us.  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

NetSwan~ What a lovely render. Makes me all mushy with memories. Sounds so enchanting ... times remembered sweetly. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I don't venture into the challenge forum that often (imagine that , hmmm) but Teresa, I am certainly glad I did. Your grandma's acreage certainly sounds breath-taking All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |
