Hi Gail! I understand completely about keeping the homemade items made by your child(ren)! I have kept a lot of them, too. :-)

Wouldn't it be fun to have a pond like that? We don't have room, but I'm hoping to put in my little one before too very long.

Hi Bren, Thank you for your visit, too! Did you ever make your mom a lanyard? ;-) Isn't it wonderful to be able to sit outdoors and have special memories come to mind?

Believe it or not, the quilt is not yet finished. My friend Lori and I have decided to set a date sometime this summer (a whole day) to get it finished!! (at least the top). I hope we do, as it's such a pretty quilt. Do you have an area quilt shop that teaches quilting? That's how I began (I still consider myself a beginner!).

I will wish for you the same... enjoy your summer because it IS going quickly! :-)

Funny you should say Summer Camp and July. I was just resting on the porch admiring the garden thinking about summer camp sounds and scents as a child.

Your pond photo you share is wonderful. I wish we could have koe in our pond but the catfish would eat them!

That quilt is amazing. I have always wanted to do a project like that. I will have to check out your link.

Happy Summer - continue to enjoy it because it goes by so very fast.

Dear Shady, What a wonderful poem~~every gift my son gave me was precious (I still have many of the homemade ones tucked away) and filled my heart with so much love. The pond in your cousins garden is delicious! gail

Commonweeder, I agree! ;-) Thanks for your visit.

This is a wonderful poem. Also, I think we should enjoy the muses every day! No question about late.

Lisa, Frances, Catherine, Rosey Pollen, Perhaps from the child's point of view, perhaps from the mother's point of view, and/or perhaps from both points - we can identify with this poem.

I know you will appreciate reading more of his poetry. I will probably look for an occasion to post another. :-)

It is for this reason, I cannot bear to throw away the gifts my kids create for me. I am such a sap. I still have cards they made when they were 2.
Thanks for sharing this poem. I am going to look into more of this author.

I am so glad you posted this poem. I am not familiar with this poet. I will have to look him up. I like this particular poem. Haven't we all done something like this?? Thought those very things. However at the time we thought these gifts were adequate.
