Of a' the airts the wind can blaw,

I dearly like the west,

For there the bonnie lassie lives,

The lassie I lo'e best:

There wild woods grow, and rivers row,

And monie a hill between;

But day and night may fancy's flight

Is ever wi' my Jean.

 

I see her in the dewy flowers,

I see her sweet and fair:

I hear her in the tunefu' birds,

I hear her charm the air:

There's not a bonnie flower that springs

By fountain, shaw, or green;

There's not a bonnie bird that sings,

But minds me o' my Jean.

Like apparitions seen and gone. But those that soonest take their flight are those most exquisit and strong- Like angels' visits, short and bright , Mortality's too week to bear them long.                                      John Norris

I Miss Tasha Tudor!

  The other day I stumbled across this (Japanese)You Tube video
  of Tasha Tudor in her Garden,
  and after viewing it
  I kind of felt a bit blue!
  I remember being moved by Tasha's Artistic illustrations
  and life style many years ago.
  I always had an idea in the wee back of my mind of going 
  to see her. Some times I even imagined living somewhere close
  and helping in the garden!
                                  

 

                               Tasha Tudor
                                       August 28, 1915 -June 18, 2008

                            

                             http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/tashatudor/Homepage.aspx

                        Tasha Tudor had a way that caused one to
                                                realize JOY!

                      So being blue when reminiscing is not an option!

                             Here are some ways that I have found

                                     to fill some "Tasha Joy"

                          ..~..~..~..~..~..~..~..



Drawing or Painting (from life) is a fine way to  take joy I have always had a kindred art style to Tasha (it is how I always have drawn)
