On The Wings Of A Snow White Dove

On the wings of a snow-white dove. 

He sends His pure sweet love. 

A sign from above. 

On the wings of a dove.

This was a country gospel song that my mom used to sing to me when I was a little girl.  In my research

I've found that a lot of artists have recorded this song, but I believe I am correct with it being written by Bob Ferguson.

Do you remember this old song?

Bug - Doing the Hokey Pokey

Looking at this bug I am reminded of an old elementary school song - The Hokey Pokey

What a fun song that was to sing! Even as adults we sing that song here in Blacksburg during Virginia Tech Football games.  

Here is the same shot of the bug - just not cropped as closely. 
 He has Queen Anne's Lace as his "umbrella".  

Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place.

A Damselfly and a "Pop it"

When I was a child, my siblings, cousins, and I would get

together at my Grandmother's farm and have

"Pop it" Wars.

Have you ever heard of a "Pop it" War?

The plant above is what we would call a "Pop it".

We would gather LOTS and LOTS of these and wrap the stems

around the bottom of the top part....and "pop" the top off and

hit each other with them. These are very small so of course

they didn't hurt...but it was TONS of FUN!

Through The Generations

We need to remember across generations that there is as much to learn as there is to teach. 
 — Gloria Steinem 

Grapes passed down through the generations....

First from my Grandfather to my Father and now to my Brother.

I have wonderful childhood memories of eating the grapes straight from the vine.
