ReplyDelete... none of the clouds have silver linings?

You came up with a couple of good ones, Emma,. And thank you for the compliment too!
DeleteWhat if? If the world was like that with all those old certainties shattered then we would be in big, big trouble. Good Lord - it doesn't bear thinking about!
ReplyDeleteYP, we might not be in big trouble but we would definitely not have some wonderful poems and songs.
DeleteWhat if 6 days went by and we didn't see a post from RWP??? No doubt you and Ellie are off making more wonderful Summertime memories with all those good looking descendants of yours, but be sure to check in soon :-)
ReplyDeleteHilltophomesteader (Pam), what if 8 or 9 days went by? Will try to get back in the harness “soon” but not promising a specific date, unlike our friend YP who seems to blog every single day. At our end, Ellie and I are most definitely off but not necessarily away.
DeleteWell I don't know much about anything, but now that I've been to Suffolk in a drought, I do happen to know that the corn doesn't grow as high as an elephant's eye.
ReplyDeleteSuffolk would have to be in Oklahoma (the Rodgers and Hammerstein version) for the corn to be as high as an elephant’s eye. In real life it would have to be in Iowa or Minnesota. In other news that makes one say “hmmm”, I read today that New Zealand has decided not to let foreigners purchase houses there. I suppose when we emigrate we shall all have to move in with you natives.
DeleteI will air the spare room and put on new sheets now!
