Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for October 20, 2022

Now there’s a guy who understands his gal. Love her for who she is!

There are not to many people who would be concerned about being rude to a tree.

The tree should be getting ready to start turning a new leaf at this time of the year.

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree

By Joyce Kilmer

Always be prepared…right, Jimbo?

Lean on me when you’re not strong.

I carry a book with me wherever I go. You never know when you will have to wait or be delayed for some reason or another. It cuts down on the feeling of impatience or irritation.

Rose likes the “purple stuff”? ;P

A book instead of a smart phone? There is hope for society after all.

My “let things be” tree got hit bi lightning a few months back. It’s a 60 foot oak and it looks like it might be dying. Gorgeous tree. It breaks my heart.
