Dennis went fishing Friday evening.  Look what he brought home.  











We spent the next hour cleaning this thing and cutting it up.  We now have the fish fillets in  the freezer.

Then I spent a while scrubbing up the mess.

Booties

  Trying new post on my iPad.  If I'm successful, there will be a pictureof some 

   cute booties I just finished.

do you want to guess again?

we came across another unknown poet.   here is a sample of this poet's work. 

Ode to a garden

Dirt cascading round my feet
Sometimes turned to mud by the cold
rush of fresh spring
rain
Upon my face it will
fall
washing away the sweat
of my labors
Bending down my hand full of
Life
I release the tiny seeds of the earth
the sun shines
spreading its rays
to cover the earth
grow
Budding green leaves
a new life reaching for the glory
Hear the rain upon the once dry ground
when the day changes to night
and the clouds that were promised
empty blessings on our head
dawn
the smell of newly
wetted earth
fills my lungs
I reach out to feel the soft blossoms
glistening with the drops of moisture
fall
Harvest has come
with the new season
berries that stain my lips
the sweet crunch of apples between my teeth
I have helped this
grow
Thanksgiving
I place the fresh apple pie on the table
And give thanks


who do you think wrote this poem?

a poet and we didn't know it

you guys are very good guessers and very good sports too.  dennis and i have enjoyed reading all of your comments.  i was going to chide leslie for not hazarding a guess, but then i went back to the previous post and she had commented.  so, now, for more clues.  i think these will give you the answer.

1.  some of you noted that the person who wrote these words must have been well educated.   this person never stopped learning and was very smart.

2.  this person was creative.  in addition to writing poetry, this person also tried oil painting and music composition.

3.  though it isn't grandpa fuller, leslie is closely related to this person.

4.  in the collection of poetry there was a short bio about this person.  here it is:  ... was born in salt lake city where she grew up and graduated from south high school.  she began studying the piano as a child and was always a good student.  while working in salt lake she met john l. jorgensen and they were married in 1951.  they moved to castle dale where she has lived ever since.  she has seven children, two of which still live at home.  in 1983 she completed her bacherlors degree and graduated from u.s.u. 

pretty amazing, huh?  i love these poems more every time i read them.  tell me what you think.  love you all.
