Thursday Challenge - HOME

A Home Song by Henry Van Dyke:

I read within a poet's book
A word that starred the page:
"Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage!"


Yes, that is true; and something more
You'll find, where'er you roam,
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make a home.


But every house where Love abides,
And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home-sweet-home:
For there the heart can rest.

Thursday Photo Challenge...

The Thursday Photo Challenge for this week is: SOFT...

This is Daisy. Daisy was my brothers dog. Was, as in she has since passed on. I grew up with a Sheltie. They are great dogs, very obedient and loyal. Their coat is very soft but they do shed a lot...and according to my Mother, bark a lot. I made a comment when visiting my brother that I didn't remember our Sheltie barking so much. I was quickly corrected by my Mother that indeed she did! Funny how, as a child, things like that just don't bother you.

This weeks theme: Peaceful

This was taken on the back of my Uncles farm in Michigan. On a warm summer day with a gentle breeze blowing there is no where more peaceful!

These are my old hocky skates. Talk about bringing back old memories! Your know, memories like pain and defeat! I was never a stellar player, not bad but not stellar. It was however a lot of fun and in the end that's what it is all about...I guess.
