While You Are Out

Do you ever wonder what they do...

or where they like to wait,

while you are out?

I wonder if they get anxious,

or if they simply sleep all day.

Maybe they settle down right where you said

 good-bye,

so as to be ready and waiting when you return.

It's probably most comforting to know,

that even though they have a bed, your pillow is their favorite.

If they're lucky,

they might have a sunny terrace or patio.

but for some, a window for two will do.

Funny how they always know...

when the time is near.

They know to be quiet and listen,

and to keep a watchful eye.

Because they know the familiar sounds of your arrival, they know you're home & they want to know all about your day!

A Taste of the Sweet Apple

A favorite summertime read!

Jo Anna “Pee-Wee” Holt Watson was born and reared in Woodford County, Kentucky, the heart of the bluegrass.
A Taste of the Sweet Apple is a moving memoir on the love of a place and the way the land becomes a part of its inhabitants. Brimming with unsentimental innocence and the sensuality of furs, tobacco, and her mother’s lemon lily beds, she draws a tough-minded, tomboy-accomplished portrait of girlhood.
A vivid cast of characters takes you completely into this world, reminding us of the power of storytelling in a time when we need it more than ever.

Thank you, Jo Anna!
