HAPPY THURSDAY! Time to be thankful for things – celebrate together that we are HERE, we are hopefully healthy, we are moving one step at a time FORWARD – and any other things that you are thankful for. We’re super thankful here that while we’ve had some rather big storms with some hail we haven’t lost power, haven’t lost any outside plants or big trees (or limbs) and that the three of us – me, Mom and Dad – are HEALTHY.
I also always celebrate Angel Sammy’s poetic efforts and message – and sure enough – here it is!
♥♥♥
Here we are – another Thursday arrives!
I look forward to this little bit of time I have with you all every week to share some poetry. It’s a FUN event since we are all using ONE PHOTO to come up with a poem. Interesting what WE see compared to what our friends see in a photo isn’t it?
Here’s the poem I gave you all LAST week to use for today’s poem:
“It’s A Small World”
Poem by Angel Sammy Kimmell ©August 26, 2020
Tiny gardens crafted by creative minds
Do fairies exist? Look for the signs……
Well tended plants and manicured greenery
I know fairy gardeners enjoy the scenery!
I’m sure at night when humans are asleep
With their tiny tools in hand through their gardens they creep
Trimming and snipping and watering the plants
Shooing away caterpillars and those pesky ants
At least with a tiny garden I would have no fear
That my garden would be devoured by a herd of hungry deer!
My Mom used to garden outside but the deer and other wildlife felt that if it was OUTSIDE – it was in THEIR world. So now Mom gardens in big pots on our back deck and front porch and it’s easier to take care of AND not “raided” by criters! One of these days I am sure she will create a fairy garden – there are so many interesting tiny plants to “populate” a tiny garden with.
Now – did you write a poem? Did you? Good – tell us you did and give us your link. If you haven’t written one – why not? Give it a try…………you might just enjoy it.
Time for me to go now but I want to remind all of you that Angels are watching……………….protecting you as best we can from afar. Stay safe…………do the RIGHT THING. OK? I’ll see you next Thursday for another poem – and we’ll see what you can do with this photo as your inspiration:
Love this photo – hope you do too – let’s see what you can do with it next week in poetry form OK? I’ll give it a whirl too. Until then…………………..
Love from the Bridge, Angel Sammy
♥♥♥
Thank you Angel Sammy………….you made me happy just hearing from you! I’ll look forward to next week…………………….Love you always.
Hugs, Teddy
we just imagined da hungry deer… or da hungry weim? who attacks that little world… think the fairies feel da same like da people in a godzilla movie LOL

HAHAHA…..well, if I did make one of those gardens (and I’m thinking about that!) I’d have it up on my deck away from all critters……I can just imagine me taking care of it with a tiny pair of scissors to trim and neaten things up…..it would be fun!!

We are thankful here too…for health…and good times with family…pawppy is working half dsays now, he just cannot get up to speed in the mornings, yet. He has less pain, and can walk a bit better….so progress is good, and we are thankful. We saw both sons on the 26th, it was the younger son’s birthday a few days ago, so we had a special dinner for him…and I got kicked out of the Oncologists office…well, it was my request that my followup checkups be done here instead of at their office, (50 miles away…), and the labs can be done here as well…I get those checked every 6 months…for the CA125marker.
Here is my not too wonderful ditty for this week:
A planter quite tall,
Filled to the brim;
With pretty plants that sprawl,
But look! A wee house!
So very small-
It must be for a fairy;
Or a fancy rich mouse!

Oh that’s a precious poem!! I bet a mouse would love tending that garden! Glad things are good for all of you…..hope the labs are PERFECT.

That is a lovely poem for sweet little fairy garden, Angel Sammy.
Because we hedged and fenced the complete garden so the boys could go out whenever they wanted to without escaping, it also means that no marauding animals (deer and rabbits) can get in and decimate it.

That’s a NICE feature too – protect those beautiful plants and flowers and no unwelcome “eaters” about to ruin it al!

My mommy also does container gardening. She has sadly had to atop feeding the birds except the hummingbirds, because deer and squirrels, especially squirrels, ate all the seed.

We hear you on those “hoggish” squirrels. Mom buys two HUGE bags of sunflower seeds every week and the deer and other critters come at night and empty everything out.

Hi Gang!! Great little poem and it wouldn’t surprise me if Mr. Gnome’s name was Jerome! Mom really is thinking it might be fun to do one of these gardens…..we have a broken birdbath that might make a good elevated Fairy Garden – a project for another day – maybe next year when Mom can go to a nursery for plants without worrying about this stupid virus!! You guys stay SAFE OK????

That’s a super poem about the small garden. We have the same problem here with rabbits and some deer and foxes. Our one tomato plant survives but only because it sits up on our deck where those critters don’t come.

Glad you liked the poem……..I quit gardening partly because we don’t have fencing – big property would require big fence – AND we border a wooded area. The deer just walk through everyone’s yard eating what they can – including all my vegetables and flowers and some shrubs! I love the deer though – so beautiful. My gardens are on my deck and porch and that’s that!
