To Black Rose

You are loved for the little girl you were,
The special woman you are now,
And the precious Daughter you will always be.

Farewell to dollies, blankies and bows.
Welcome to makeup, texting and beaus!

It's truly a gift to have a daughter like you
Who grows more precious with each day.

1. Peace of mind
2. Peace of heart
3. Peace of soul

PLANT FOUR ROWS OF SQUASH:
1. Squash gossip
2. Squash indifference
3. Squash grumbling
4. Squash selfishness

PLANT FOUR ROWS OF LETTUCE:
1. Lettuce be faithful
2. Lettuce be kind
3. Lettuce be patient
4. Lettuce really love one another

NO GARDEN IS WITHOUT TURNIPS:
1. Turnip for meetings
2. Turnip for service
3. Turnip to help one another

TO CONCLUDE OUR GARDEN WE MUST HAVE THYME:
1. Thyme for each other
2. Thyme for family
3. Thyme for friends

WATER FREELY WITH PATIENCE AND CULTIVATE WITH LOVE.
THERE IS MUCH FRUIT IN YOUR GARDEN BECAUSE YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
NOT BAD, HUH?!

It's not been many times that I have seen the tides this high here in St. Martins.

Black Rose says...
Hey Y'all, If you've followed this blog you'll see a few comments and posts from "Black Rose" I now have my own blog "Seeing through the eyes of a teenager" if you'd like to check it out.

Congratulations "Black Rose". I look forward to reading more of your writings.

Duck Pond Road and another beautiful day

Check it out - Ducks at Duck Pond Rd!
What a beautiful day it was to 'tramp' the beach of Duck Pond Rd. We had the stretch of beach to ourselves (there was another couple WAAAAAYYY over there), but we considered it our own for a bit.
As Black Rose explored the tide pools, I trundled along at a leisurely pace enjoying the quiet sounds of the ocean.

Another Sunny Summer Day!

Great fun, great company and a few surprises along the way. What a great day! The beach was calling and we answered.
