A fine write Fay. \'When the going gets tough, the tough gets going\'? as someone said.
Aww, I\'m a snowflake. I saw a chihuahua without a coat, shivering, and on a bit milder day too. I nearly burst into tears.
I saw a medium sized dog last year too, shivering in the snow, while owner went into a shop.

A lovely write Fay. I should like to have the time - and the weather - to sit in fields of corn. Don\'t be daft, Orchi. It\'s not full grown this time of year! I shall come back to the field in about 6 months time.

Wonderful write Fay, yes we need to let go of the youngsters to find there own ways and paths in the world and life.
At present we have one granddaughter working in Beijing and the other studying in Milan as part of her degree.

What a wonderful analogy, casting seeds to the wind ... encouragement to parents.... let them go and find their own place in humanity.
Much wisdom.

THANKS FOR SHARING FAY ! Young of all species \"Flee the Nest\" some much earlier than Young Humans. Alas some children as young as FIVE ~ have to fend for themselves ~ and they can ! BRIAN ~ My Parents enabled me to move into my own Flat (close to them) at 25. Also ANGELA\'S Parents allowed her (at 27) to share a Flat with her colleague RUTH. They both worked near their Parents and could have lived @ Home. Their Parents forbade them to live with a Man before they were married. We are all Church Workers and it would set a bad example to the Teens in our Church ! Parents should take responsibility for thier Children (& Teens & Twenties) leaving HOME ! A Residential University does give us a taste for \"Freedom\" but the cost of independent living only hits one when you do it for real. Im glad my NEST is still close enough (and available) for SUNDAY LUNCH ! Thanks for raising an important issue !

This poem reminds me not just of your skilled writing ability for seeds to survive, but also the same thing happens within any form of life. What a remarkable quote/stanza you wrote resembling all forms of life as I mentioned. \"Next generation once weaned wings away from the breast\'s cloistered past. In standing erect most off spring cling not to parental mastery\". I believe every living thing is captured brilliantly in your work. Great stuff, Fay Slimm,

A good write Fay. School \'detention\' can be unfair, if the whole class is punished because of one or two offenders. Oh, the shame of it - I even got caught up in a whole-class detention. Of course it all has to be PC these days, for snowflakes!

\'In the bleak mid winter\' as the old hymn has it.
Many little creatures will not survive but it is amazing that most do, and we call these wonderful creatures \'pest\'.
Your words enhance the shudder brought on with this current freeze up.

My Dear Fay,
Regardless of the ‘misalignment’ as you say, this write is spot on!
As the song goes...
“Baby it’s cold outside”...
Your sentiments, however, are full of warmth, love and caring for nature’s wonderful creatures.
Unfortunately, they have to withstand these sub freezing conditions in many parts of the world! (-17C in NY last night.) We’re ok in our heated homes. They’re on their own to weather this weather! I feel sadness for those who are helpless and can’t survive!
Thank you for sharing!

A fine write Fay. About six months ago we were sweating in a heatwave! Shall we all dash to NZ, as in Brian & Angela\'s poem? Me good deed? I spotted a big friendly tom cat that roams around. I called it indoors, dried the snow from off it, and it stayed on me bed a couple of hours.

For me, when things go wrong and painful, i look back at the shared joys which hightened the pain. Yes the pain is undenyable, the pleasure though.... is unforgettable.
And in writing of those joys, as I have in MPS, certain key phrases take my mind and soul back.... like the scent of Barley fields roasting beneath blazing June.
