Have been busy this week trying to get outdoor projects taken care of between weather events… one being mowing… 🙂

All the while words of Rose Milligan floated in my mind, sighhhhhhh… 🙂 Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture, or write a letter, bake a cake, or plant a seed. Ponder the difference between want and need. Dust if you must, but there is not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb! Music to hear, and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain, this day will not come round again. Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go, and go you must, you, yourself, will make more dust! (Rose Milligan)
Hello Diary,
Yes, been a busy week dealing with life’s challenges, and working in the backyard with my backyard friends keeping a close eye on me making sure I were doing it right… but no matter how busy I were, every morning I were greeted by my backyard friends… 🙂
Another fine morning on the prairie… 🙂 And I would take the time to gaze upon the prairie skies and contemplate how wealthy I am… 🙂

I’m far richer than the rich Wealthier than the wealthy by far, I have gold in the sun I have silver in the star. I have dreams that I follow That are more precious than gold, As I venture through life Eagerly watching, the dreams unfold. I have diamonds, too many to count With each new fallen snow, As I see each one sparkle While basking in the suns glow. The mornings bring nature’s painting Priceless, a portrait of the sky, Impossible to duplicate Even though many did try. Each bloom of the red rose A ruby, one of a kind, With the bloom of the white rose A pearl comes to mind. Money have I little But wealth I have got, But I don’t fit in with The wealthy and rich lot. And I’m not going to change A wealthy dreamer I’ll stay, Until the rivers, they all run dry Until the four winds, they all blow away. (Larry “Dutch” Woller )“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird, that cannot fly.” (Langston Hughes)… 🙂
Well, I had better close for now, “Every morning your have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams, or wake up and chase them.” (Author Unknown) and I had better get to chasing… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂
Until we meet again.. May the love that you give Always return to you, That family and friends are many And always remain true, May your mind only know peace No suffering or strife, May your spirit only know love and happiness On your journey through life. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
Rose Milligan talks a lot of sense, doesn’t she? Once again, I enjoyed the dawn chorus. They have irrepressible energy every single day…..just like me!!

I really enjoyed reading this post 😊 I, myself, have never been very skilled with outdoor activities and gardening skills so I always admire those who are able to do so. I enjoyed the poetry and quotes too – good on you for continuing to keep your head up despite the challenges you faced in the week.

Thank you for stopping by and glad you enjoyed your visit!!… there are many ways to do outdoor activities and gardening… with a little research I a sure there are a great deal of activities you will find that you can do…“If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right” (Mary Kay Ash).. 🙂
It is not how skilled one is but how much one enjoys the time spent… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May the sun shine all day long
Everything go right, nothing go wrong
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true

I love both of these poems and the songs. Dusting is not a priority with so many natural riches to enjoy. Don’t work too hard. 🙂 Blessings to you always, Larry.
