To feed my rabbits
Pulled wagon to the grain mill
A heavy walk home.
| |
Made stump bird feeder
Flicker came to feed on seed
First photo I took.
|
Caught Snapping turtle
Very large with vicious beak
Communed and made friends.
| |
New experiment
Jojoba oil production
Never came to much.
|
Cedar trees for Yule
Carefully watered for years
Cut--leave limbs--new tree!
| |
Great Horned owl with skunk
Bad choice for prey--musk makes blind
Lucky owl to see.
|
Careful measurements
Pond ground must be sloped just so
Ready for the fish.
| |
Music with my mom
Neighbor children play ensemble
Pass time--no TV.
|
Kids want to build pool
Digging hours--made a great hole
Surprise Dad when home!
| |
Coal burning furnace
Done clinkers need removal
Heavy job for child.
|
Father ceased garden
Boys at ten took over work
Pride resulted then.
| |
Elementary
Needed bass in orchestra
Changed my future life.
|
Caught a snake by tail
Rattler could not turn around
Showing my children.
| |
Catching snake by tail
Felt soft smooth scales in my hand
Danger seemed to go.
|
Made huge flying kite
Almost took brother off ground
But did not lose him!
| |
Skated on my pond
I learned to propel backwards
Fell many times though.
|
My first time with bees
Wild African ones to start
Challenging new life.
| |
Bow hunting for squirrels
Small target to encounter
With some luck success.
|
Pacifist in war
Impossible to take life
The squirrel made me think.
| |
Five year old to fish
Gone to lake with no one else
Home with sunfish caught.
