Frost Flowers

None of these around here now! We have already had days with temps at 90! But the bluebonnets are blooming.

Starting Now

About once a week I'm going to start posting a photograph, drawn from my archives ,here. This was suggested by the subject of this image so if you are among the one or two people who occasionally visit this site blame him! He wont mind it, I know because I've been blaming him for all kinds of things for 40 years and he still puts up with me! In the future posts though I may or may not have something to say about the photograph!

Advice for these Times!

Why Walk When You Can Fly

Mary Chapin Carpenter

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble,
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, but
A whole lot of ground to gain
Why take when you could be giving?
Why watch as the world goes by?
It's a hard enough life to be living
Why walk when you can fly?

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
In this world there's a whole lot of shame
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
And a whole lot of ground to gain
When you spend your whole life wishing
Wanting, and wondering why
It's a long enough life to be living
Why walk when you can fly?

And in this world there's a whole lot of golden
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world you've a soul for a compass
And a heart for a pair of wings
There's a star on the far horizon
Rising bright in an azure sky
For the rest of the time that you're given
Why walk when you can fly?
