Ah\' indeed.. tis such recollections that mean so very much .. I find the older I get, the more important memories are... this is a most beautiful post and I particularly like your concluding line, which for some reason, made me think of friends and lovers and family members lost..... thank you dear Fay....

dusk arising said:

Made me think of my own \'nom de plume\' dusk arising whilst reading you.
Grief\'s demons can always be chased away with happier times recalled can\'t they. \"Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day\".
Once again you paint a beguiling canvas with your word pallet and caring brushwork\'s romance.

Thanks FAY : You paint a Beautiful Picture of what Cornwall is going through : Brian tell me you have had more than your share of the White Stuff already. Lovely POEM made me shiver & think of English Winters Past when I have been Snow Hiking in the Lake District as a student and seen the Hardness & Harshness of the Hill Shepherds lives ! I always work indoors (even in NZ) which is a blessing in the UK.The AQUATHERAPY POOL is always heated ! I wont mention that @ 9 am (THURS) its already 18C (64F) here and I am just leaving for work !
Love the PIC & POEM :

Oooh-arrr my deario, I can see the nostril breath of lowing cattle in the farmyard as farmers wife brings a welcome flask of soup to her man.
Whilst we\'re thinking of throwing back the duvet to a dark, frosty morning there\'s already been three hours frosted sweat \'pon yon herdsman\'s brow.
You paint such pictures for us.

And it\'s never the super rich that go through anything like this....... instantly took me to the Great Depression - I met a few \"poor\' folks who had survived it - one with a family of 6. Trying to start the old truck in the cold mornings so he could go and stand waiting for work if he could find it. More power to you Dominic........ I remember your stories.

Neville said:

without doubt, the cruelest of seasons captured and the struggles and endurance of those men and their women too.. frozen now in time and against a back cloth of white... these words feel a lot older than the newness of em... another sign of a skilled words mistress.... N

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.

Neville said:

My word.. you have somehow managed to describe something quite wondrous my friend... something not everyone will have experienced or even be aware of... Something ultra special.. How privileged are we that have and do... All Good Things, your friend, Neville

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.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

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 !
Blessings & Love through Poetry :
BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I remember it was hard breaking away from what people who love you wanted for you.... but I don\'t regret a moment. Your poem brought it all back Fay.
