Seabreeze on my skin...
2008-06-07 19:31:00
SeabreezeI saw a ship a sailing on the ocean blueI ran right down to the ocean side in hopes that it was youSo long ago you left me to sail to a foreign landBut when that ship went sailing by my hopes dropped to the sandSeabreeze ocean wave bring my lover pleaseTurn her sails toward my heart and bring her back to meThe rising sun reminds me of the day she had to goShe set her sails to the morning tide and filled my heart with woeShe told me when she left me she'd sail to many shoresBut her heart her dreams would always be with the one that she loved soSeabreeze ocean wave...Bring her back to me bring her back to meSeabreeze by Jim Reese

Little Red Bridge...
2008-06-06 17:47:00
There is a little red bridge in Magnolia Gardens that leads you from one side of the pond to the other. I enjoyed seeing the reflections in the water, the water was quiet like a mirrorThe red bridge was also a living space for a little green gecko, enjoying the warm sunshine on his backHe was so peacefully dreaming in the sun until a photographer came up to him with that unbearable clicking sound which made the gecko disappear behind the red pole for protection - and he never came back again.This is the beautiful view that the gecko was pondering while taking his sunbath.

Yellow like Sunshine...

Black eyed SusanTwenty days walking so lonely and talking to myself and the rocksAnd sand got me to thinking 'bout going and drinking in a tavern with a clean-shaven manJust when i thought all souls had been bought by the devil here long agoThere did i see when i knelt to my knee i little texas flower growBlack-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshineRed like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare findWell my newfound friend gave my heart a mend i sang her songs of my wayward waysWhen day turned to night in the crystal moonlight i confirmed her unwavering gazeAs the days unraveled i stayed in the gravel and susan kept her eye on meWith my eye on her i felt my heart all astir with the joy of camaraderieBlack-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshineRed like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare findRead more about this lyrics here

Please have a seat...
2008-05-28 19:10:00
I was sitting in the park one summer day. Taking notice to nature and people around me. I notice a little boy climbing the monkey bars. While his mother watched in concern. But she didn't hold on the him. She grew a smile as he climbed higher.I took notice of a couple arguing. Tears were rolling down her face. as her boyfriend walked away, She stood there motionless. And smiled with her watery eyes.I watch an elderly couple walking pass me. They walked with canes and seem crippled. But they were laughing and carrying on. I can't control what is going on around me. But I can never let that interfere, From me being happy. source fsully 2003

Let the Sunshine in.....
2008-05-24 16:25:00
Mommy told me something a little kid should know. It's all about the devil and I've learned to hate him so. She said he causes trouble when you let him in the room. He will never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom. So let the sun shine in face it with a grin. Smilers never lose and frowners never win. So let the sun shine in face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in.Read the whole lyrics here

Magnolia Grandiflora
2008-05-23 15:11:00
It is so wonderful to see all the magnificent blossoms of the blooming Magnolia trees.Read what Wiki has to say to the Magnolia treeMagnolia grandiflora, commonly known as the Southern magnolia or bull bay, is a magnolia native to the southeastern United States, from coastal Virginia south to central Florida, and west to East Texas. It is a medium to large tree 20-30 m tall with a striking appearance, both in leaf and in bloom. The leaves are evergreen, simple and broadly ovate, 12-20 cm long and 6-12 cm broad, with smooth margins. They are dark green, stiff and leathery, and often scurfy underneath with yellow-brown pubescence. They will bronze, blotch, and burn in severe winters at the northern limits of cultivation, but most still cling until they are replaced by new foliage in the spring. In climates where the ground freezes, winter sun appears to do more damage than the cold itself. In the northern hemisphere the south side of the tree will experience more leaf damage than the ...

Hydrangea Flowers
2008-05-22 15:55:00
Hydrangea Flowers Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) at the ends of the stems. In many species, the flowerheads contain two types of flowers, small fertile flowers in the middle of the flowerhead, and large, sterile bract-like flowers in a ring around the edge of each flowerhead. Other species have all the flowers fertile and of the same size. In most species the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, or purple. In these species the exact colour often depends on the pH of the soil; acidic soils produce blue flowers, neutral soils produce very pale cream petals, and alkaline soils results in pink or purple. Hydrangeas are one of very few plants that accumulate aluminium. Aluminium is released from acidic soils, and in some species, forms complexes in the hydrangea flower giving them their blue colour.Read more about Hydrangeas here

Foxglove Flowers
2008-05-19 14:51:00
Foxglove flowers have both positive and negative symbolic meanings. They are said to sometimes hurt and sometimes heal. In the language of flowers, foxglove flowers are associated with insincerity. On the positive side, the common name is said to come from "folk's gloves," with "folk" referring to helpful fairy folk. In medieval gardens dedicated to Mother Mary, foxglove was called "Our Lady's Gloves" or "Gloves of the Virgin."The scientific name is digitalis, a reference to the presence of powerful chemicals that can heal heart conditions if taken correctly but can kill if taken in large amounts. Foxglove contains cardiac glycosides and was first used to treat heart ailments in 1785. Digitalis helps to regulate pulse rate.An overdose of digitalis can cause anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and jaundiced vision or a halo effect. Digitalis has sometimes been abused as a weight loss aid due to the gastronomic side effects and resulting reduction of appetite. Digitalis was previou...

Where the Evil Spirits goes...
2008-05-17 16:59:00
According to ancient African myth, bottles on trees could catch evil spirits and prevent them from entering a home. In the 18th century, Africans who came to the South as slaves adorned cedar trees with bottles for protection, said Robert Farris Thompson, African and African American art historian at Yale University. The color blue also signified healing powers. "Bottle trees are an important element of African-American visual culture, they will always be with us - like okra, hominy and black-eyed peas."read more about bottles on trees here

A Symbol for Hospitality
2008-05-16 14:59:00
The pineapple has been a symbol of hospitality since the days of the early American colonies. The legend began with the sea captains of New England, who sailed among the Caribbean Islands and returned to the colonies bearing their cargo of fruits, spices, and rum. According to the legend, the captain would spear a pineapple on a fence post outside his home to let his friends know of his safe return from the sea. The pineapple was an invitation for them to visit, share his food and drink, and listen to tales of his voyage. As the tradition grew, colonial innkeepers added the pineapple to their signs and advertisements, and bedposts carved in the shape of a pineapple were a common sight at inns across new England. The legend has continued to the present, and frequently one sees the pineapple symbol in hotels and restaurants to signal the presence of hospitality. The Educational Institute of the American Hotel & Motel Association has chosen the pineapple symbol of hospital...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
2008-05-11 05:59:00
To My MotherBecause I feel that in the heavens above The angels, whispering one to another, Can find among their burning terms of love, None so devotional as that of "Mother," Therefore by that dear name I have long called you, You who are more than mother unto me, And filled my heart of hearts, where death installed you, In setting my Virginia's spirit free.My mother -- my own mother, who died early, Was but the mother of myself; but you Are the mother to the one I loved so dearly, And thus are dearer than the mother I knew But that infinity with which my wife Was dearer to my soul that its soul-life. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

The Magnolia
2008-05-10 16:00:00
The Magnolia by Mary McNeil FenollosaO flowers of the garden, of skilled and human care,Sweet heliotrope, and violet, and orchid frail and fair,Pour out your love to happier hearts; the woodland flowers for me,The pallid, creamy blossoms of the dark magnolia tree!I close my eyes; my soul lifts up to float with their perfume,And dull the body lying in this narrow city room.Again I am a happy child. I leap and joy to seeThe great curved petals wavering slip from out the gleaming tree.As holy grail, or pearl inwrought, or carven ivory cup,They stand on bronze and emerald bough, and brim their sweetness up;And underneath a happy child! --- O days that used to be!In distant land, the flowers still stand upon the dark green tree.

Don't Fence Me In

Don't fence me in...Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, Don't fence me in. Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze, And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees, Send me off forever but I ask you please, Don't fence me in. Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies. On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise. I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in.
