Eric Alder's Monday Photo Prompt 7-16-12

When I drive on winding country roads

I keep my eye out and it ain't for toads

I'm looking sharp for those little deer

Who haven't a clue it's quite clear!
They jump about and chase each other
Into the street-their poor deer mother!
All ears and legs- cute as can be
How they survive is amazing to me!

Magpie Tales #126-Choices Made

She had waited by the window

Every evening at five

Wishing to see his jaunty walk

and his glance with a smile

As the gloaming covered the city
She now closed the blinds

Patting her tummy she murmered
"Okay kiddo-we're on our own"

MagpieTales 125- Sunrise to sunset

Chilmark Hay, 1951 by Thomas Hart Benton

Sunrise to sunset

The farmer and his horse work

So that you and I can sleep in

Knowing our daily bread

Will be rich from the hearty earth

and their endless labors.

~~~~~~~~~

Every year I grow what food I can and every year I appreciate

even more all the hard work done by our local farmers.

Support your local farmers by buying locally grown food.

Small family farms are a precious commodity.

Eric Alders Monday Morning Photo Prompt~ 6/25/12

There once were two little piglets

Who lived at a brewery called Stiglitz

They slurped up the suds

 Oinking  "Better than Buds"

And eventually became tasty tidbits
