However I had forgotten all about it, having gotten stuck on "Two roads diverged" in my memory.<br /><br />Linda, thank you. I am grateful for every visit and for your always encouraging comments. It is a regret to me that Colorado is so darned far from upstate NYthreecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-18972811296457843212012-06-01T17:27:43.986-04:002012-06-01T17:27:43.986-04:00I try to visit you first thing in my morning...Goo...I try to visit you first thing in my morning...Good Morning!<br /><br /><br />Linda<br />http://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.com <br />http://deltacountyhistoricalsociety.wordpress.comTerry and Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016496778254072639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-65567968226701559902012-06-01T15:18:23.268-04:002012-06-01T15:18:23.268-04:00And that lovely photo and description of gold finc...And that lovely photo and description of gold finches riding the asparagus threads . . . <br />Brought back one of Frost's great poems -' Birches.'<br /><br /> " . . I should prefer to have some boy bend them<br />As he went out and in to fetch the cows—<br />Some boy too far from town to learn baseball,<br />Whose only play was what he found himself,<br />Summer or winter, and could play alone.<br />One by one he subdued his father's trees<br />By riding them down over and over again<br />Until he took the stiffness out of them,<br />And not one but hung limp, not one was left<br />For him to conquer. He learned all there was<br />To learn about not launching out too soon<br />And so not carrying the tree away<br />Clear to the ground. He always kept his poise<br />To the top branches, climbing carefully<br />With the same pains you use to fill a cup<br />Up to the brim, and even above the brim.<br />Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish,<br />Kicking his way down through the air to the ground.<br />So was I once myself a swinger of birches.<br />And so I dream of going back to be. . .

I get up long before I have to just to enjoy them'<br /><br />Caroline, the stuff we did as kids! Sure didn't need computers and fancy phones to have fun!<br /><br />Rev. Paul, thank you!<br /><br />Jan, thank you. That is something I don't know anything about, but it sounds like an interesting idea. We did look into putting some land into conservation reserve and letting them build ponds and such, but the red tape and regulations were insane so we let it drop.<br /><br />Deb, I'll bet you are right. We have a big patch right by the porch that I assume they planted since we didn't. lol<br /><br />LIsa, it was gorgeous. How I love the beginning of June!threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-74920116175949527602012-06-01T06:22:38.341-04:002012-06-01T06:22:38.341-04:00It sure was a beautiful day!
