      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.

18 Behold that which I have seen:
It is good and comely for one to eat and drink,
and enjoy the good of all his labor
that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life,
which God giveth him: for his portion.
 
19 Every man also to whom God hath given
riches and wealth,and hath given him power
to eat thereof, and to take his portion,
a to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift
 
20 For he shall not much remember the
days of his life; because God answereth
him in the joy of his heart
 Ecclesiastes 4:18-20

How fading are the joys we dote upon!
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.

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)
