IVE GONE A WANDERING. NO POSTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE,BUT WHEN I’M BACK I WILL NOT SLACK CAUSE A WANDERING I WILL HAVE GONE

And everywhere I haven't been, that's where I want to be .” Roger McGuinn)( Folk Link)

But I would leave them all To go a wandering with you.

“There's sunshine in the heart of me,
My blood sings in the breeze;
The mountains are a part of me,
I'm fellow to the trees.
My golden youth I'm squandering,
Sun-libertine am I;
A-wandering, a-wandering,
Until the day I die.”

“To pitch my tent with no prosy plan,
To range and to change at will;
To mock at the mastership of man,
To seek Adventure's thrill.
Carefree to be, as a bird that sings;
To go my own sweet way;
To reck not at all what may befall,
But to live and to love each day.”

“A barefoot tramp 
brushes the dust of the world away
What can I do in such an hour,
O my thousand-colored world—except
gather this red beauty Into the wind’s purse
and bring it home for supper.” PARAPHRASE

Maybe I’ll help Linda with some cleaning. A new broom might help. (LOL)

Things started to get Prickly as we went by the cactus display:

100_2236

So we stopped by Annie’s Cheese Cake (vendor at the Fest) for a sandwich & soda and sat under the tree house.

100_2227

As you probably know by now I am always thinking about golf. So imagine my surprise when I found the wooden putter.

QUALITY TIME WITH THE TEDDY BEARS IN LANCASTER, OHIO

Hi, I’m Linda. I’ve been following Joe Todd.(my husband) He tells me I have to help with the blog. So this is my first attempt.

100_2161

While I’m working here, Joe Todd is obviously golfing. I’m going to show you some of our teddy bears.

Big John

Hi, I’m Big John. I am the biggest bear in the neighborhood. Sometimes I ride in the truck with Daddy. The girls at the bank drive-thru think I’m pretty cute.

jamie

Hi, I’m Jamie and I am the number #1 bear. Just ask my Mommy, she will tell you. See the flowers I have grown.

100_2164

This is my brother Joey. We look a lot alike.It’s nice to hang out on the deck that Daddy built.

100_2168

The Pooh Bears went hunting in the hundred acre woods (part of the hocking hills) and we found this rather large mushroom.

100_2170

Where  was I when the group Pooh picture was taken?  

100_2166

I am so much happier surrounded by my friends.
