That is beautiful Ruthi!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!! That's where I'd love to be right now. Have a wonderful Wednesday Ruthi!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ruthi C. Sep 23, 2009, 1:00pm EDT

I'd like to be there too, that's why I sat back & envisioned it today! EnJOY your Wednesday Jennifer...how was football practice yesterday? And did you find yourself a bit o' me time?

Jennifer K. Sep 23, 2009, 2:27pm EDT

Football practice was good. I have to always remind Thomas that even if he's not praticing at the time, he still needs to pay attention. I didn't find too much me time yesterday. I had to call my mom and a couple of my girl scout moms. So my me time was spent on the phone. I hope you have a wonderful day Ruthi!!!!!!!!!

Ruthi C. Sep 23, 2009, 2:35pm EDT

I remember those "kid" days...I envy you, but only for a moment, hahaha!

Jennifer K. Sep 23, 2009, 2:39pm EDT

I just love the fact that they want me to be involved with the stuff that they do. They know I can't tell them no when it comes to volunteering for stuff.

I'll certainly be taking a stroll, but I don't have any woods or a stream around. I'll have to rely on your picture. Thanks, but I haven't noticed any wisdom yet.

Ruthi C. Sep 23, 2009, 2:05pm EDT

Len, maybe you need to envision a larger, louder waterfall! EnJOY your walk m'friend!

Ruthi C. Sep 23, 2009, 12:49pm EDT

Leo, if this is truly what your back yard looks like, expect me to be campin' out there all next summer! :-)

Another nice match of verse and image, Ruthi.

Ruthi C. Sep 23, 2009, 4:09pm EDT

Thanks John! Unfortunately the size changed in the Gather graphic configuration, so the text isn't as clear as it is in my original :-(

JOHN BECK Sep 23, 2009, 4:16pm EDT

I hate that when that happens! Not to worry--the Gather version works too.

Ruthi C. Sep 23, 2009, 8:48pm EDT

By the time I figure out the size limitations they'll update the graphic capabilities, lol!

Awwww, communing with nature. She can be nice and she can be mean. Sounds like you had a nice day. The picture is lovely, as always.

Yes, I s'pose she can throw a tantrum or two!
Thank you Lee :-)

I have always wanted to walk in the woods with a talented woman. May I take your arm?

Ruthi C. Sep 23, 2009, 10:51pm EDT

Absolutely :-) I think we'd write some delightful poetry out there in the forest greenery!

Ruthi,
You have such wonderful talent. I am glad to see that you are using it and sharing it with the Gather community. We all need a "pick me up" from time to time. This poem was beautiful and the photo was perfect to go with it.

Ruthi C. Sep 25, 2009, 11:14pm EDT

You're ever so right about that pick me up m'dear!
Thank you Connie!
HUGs!

The water has always been a very peaceful place for me to be.
I live near a pond right now, and it really has given me a sense of oneness here.
Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting

Ruthi C. Sep 25, 2009, 11:17pm EDT

I miss living near water so much. I've lived with a lake, a stream and once with the ocean at my back door and it really does soothe the soul. Now, the waterfall in my turtle tank has to do, lol.
