Blessing I Reap

Bonnie got me started on this by encouraging me to hid my guilt monster along with the dust bunnies. I did a needle work piece of the original poem when my daughter was little. After Bonnie's post, I decided to resurrect it and revise it for this new time of my life.

 

Blessings I Reap

 

Caregiver, oh Caregiver, come shake out your cloth

Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,

Hang out the washing and butter the bread,

Sew on a button and make up a bed.

 

Where is the Caregiver whose house is so shocking?

She's loving and caring and encouraging walking.

 

Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue

Great job Ellen....

 

I started cleaning the utility room today.. john has a new cabinet to install and I had to move some things. My daughter was going to come help but had an emergency... I noticed cob webs too... and the cool weather and the apples in a basket.. i ended up making apple pies...

 

I can definately get distracted, but the neighbor was delighted when I drove up the driveway and handed him a warm pie, and the house smells great with apples and cinnamon.

 

Oh the cob webs.. well there for another day

Yumm, fresh basked apple pie. I made an apple tart two days ago and my counter surging male Weimaraner sneaked it off the back of the stove where it was cooling and enjoyed it along with our female. I hope they were happy because I was not!
