"Visit to a Farm" by Robert B. Posted for Jennifer (sis butterfly). SUNDAY ON THE FARM [c] Robert Charles Burnham.: I walk through rich serenity The morning breeze seduces me Life abounds in euphoric sense My peacefulness within, intense Lose myself inside my soul Giving God complete control I did not die before I wake Lord gave me a second chance to take I'm thankful for, my blessings be A good old dog and a lovely tree And here I stand; enlightened renewed Then back to civilization so crude

Streaker is checking out the horse corral
Ruthi C. Aug 25, 2009, 3:54pm EDT
Streaker, don't jump that fence! The grass is not always greener!
What a beautiful and serene place, you're very lucky..

It's not ours, we just visit.
Sarah (I want points) Aug 25, 2009, 4:01pm EDT
Wow! What a great shot. Amazing.
Janie E. Aug 25, 2009, 4:08pm EDT
Hola, Streaker! Como as estado? LOL
David C. Aug 25, 2009, 4:16pm EDT
Great shot, Robert. One of the best pictures I've seen on Gather recently.
ann c. Aug 25, 2009, 4:19pm EDT
Great photo. That white fence really sets off the pasture!!
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 25, 2009, 4:36pm EDT
They've gone to plastic fences now, how gauche.

Beautiful poem, reads like a prayer. Streaker and the horse are my two favorite animals, so I'd say you just made my day! Thank you, darlin! LY HUgs

Beautiful farm scene.

Thanks so much for sharing with my group.
Piper Elizabeth J. Aug 25, 2009, 4:51pm EDT
Lovely, hopeful poem. Appreciating the beauty of the world around us is something we should all remember to do more often.
Wonderful photo and that ever beautiful, patient and clever dog companion. :)
Sharon P. Aug 25, 2009, 5:01pm EDT
Brings back memories of my own farm in the early 60's. Of course, Buster was a black Rat Terrier, and Teddy was a red Pomeranian.
Jan S. Aug 25, 2009, 5:07pm EDT
Wonderful photo and poem. Streaker is such an adventurous dog! Robert, you're lucky she takes you on her travels. ; )
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 25, 2009, 6:08pm EDT
Yeah, Jan, she's too kind. Sept 1st we're leaving the south. Going to give NY a shot at our job search. Rochester, NY. Then maybe on to New England. Have to get settled before the snow comes.
Katherine M. Sep 2, 2009, 12:56pm EDT
I wish much luck on the job search and the settling in. Will be interesting to see how Streaker finds adventure in the snow!
Digital Diva S. Aug 25, 2009, 6:04pm EDT
That is beautiful!

Thanks for posting this to my new group Barns ~ Outbuildings ~ Sheds
Rebecca [Future Teacher] Aug 25, 2009, 6:06pm EDT

Amanda S. Aug 25, 2009, 6:08pm EDT

I love the farm scenery,especially the horse and dog.
Pay it Forward.

Just got to Gather for today. Your icon made me smile. I miss Cornholio!
Kushal Poddar Aug 25, 2009, 10:06pm EDT
It seems you are about to cross a barrier and Streaker is ahead of you. Good luck brother.
life and blood
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 26, 2009, 10:40am EDT
A homeward barrier Ku, though I'm not sure how far north I will get - for the foreseaable future (and I only see in weeks), NY it will be. My heart still longs for Maine.
Kathryn E. Aug 26, 2009, 2:15am EDT

What a lovely post for Jen. Well done, sir.
Sandi S. Aug 28, 2009, 3:21pm EDT
Oh, fun!

This looks like a pic from a children's story. You know, with your puppy as the main character... something like that.
Jan C. Aug 28, 2009, 10:44pm EDT
Streaker had a good day! Beautiful farm
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 29, 2009, 10:50am EDT
Streaker always has a good day - the rest of us should be so lucky.....

Fool dog.
Katherine M. Sep 2, 2009, 1:02pm EDT
Ahhhh but thats what makes owning a dog so special! How on earth can anyone stay down when you see the adventure in their eyes mixed with unconditional love and trust!!!!
barb n. Sep 1, 2009, 5:40pm EDT
Yep Streaker is a very lucky girl!!!!! Tooo cute, beautiful ranch too!!!!!
very uplifting write too
Katherine M. Sep 2, 2009, 1:04pm EDT
This is a wonderful view of Streaker enjoying her life! She really was interested in those horses. I am sure she just wanted to say hi. Love the poem it speaks of how wonderful each day can be if we just let it be!
