Then...

Maurina and I tore into a building... that had blown down...

several winds... ago...

with some very cool...old Primitives.... trapped inside...

It was a mess...

we... were soaked....

covered in Mud... and who...knows... what....

Spiders... were having a Fit....

we were disturbing their Home....

yes...

it was an...ugly... ugly... day....
for all...concerned...

We loaded the Ford... with what couldn't be saved....

from the collapse...

and I threw it...in the dumpster...

{John has a HUGE....dumpster.... as he is Cleaning... his shop...}

It broke my heart... as I was pitching things... into it...

Old...Old... things...

that were beyond.... repair...

sad...

The Good News...

that made it....

Survivors...

{I just came home... from watching Miss. Scarlett... : )
when I laid down with her....
to put her to... bed...
she said...
"Hug...Gamma"....
So...I held her close to me...
This... above song... somehow...
came straight to my mind...
It's been a Long... time since I have heard it...
Dad...used to whistle it... all the time...
as we rolled...down the Gravel Roads...
in those old... trucks...
He could Whistle... like No Other...
{beautiful... : ) }
I began...softly....singing it...to her...
when I finished...
she rolled over...
looked me...
and SMILED...: )
"More...Gamma..."
She... loved it...
I used to...too... : ) }
I remember... when I was about..her age...
laying in bed...
we lived...out in the Country...
I could hear...The Whippoorwill....
out...in the Timber....
Lord... I don't think... I have heard one... since...
They...Sing such a Wonderful.... Song....
 you never forget it....
: )
"When it's late...in the Evenin'...
I Climb Up The Hill...
and Survey...All My Kingdom...
While Everything's...Still...
Only...Me...and the Sky...
and an Old...Whippoorwill....
 Singin' Songs...
in the Twilight...
On Mockin'bird... Hill...
: )
Tra la la...
tweedlee dee dee..
It Gives me a Thrill...
 to wake...up in the Mornin'... to the Mockin'birds...trill....
Tra la la...
tweedlee dee dee...
There's....
Peace and Goodwill...
You're Welcome as The Flowers...
on...
Mockin'bird...
Hill"...
: )
 {Have...a Beautiful... Sunday...
I will...
This... was such...a Peaceful...Journey...
: )
Yes... tho...
after listening to the above tune... over and over...
it's...nearly... 4 a.m.
{I added the lyrics... long... after the original...post...}
Funny, the time...slipped away...
walking... down...Memory... Lane...
up to...
Mockin'bird... Hill...
: )
Love...to ya... }

{Not...an easy task... ask anyone...who dares to work with me...
I flit... from one place...to another...
Never...stay on track...

and start to reminisce....
Worse...
I'll get something...nearly all put together...
and decide...
It Just Won't Work!
and tare it all...
apart...
oh dear...
Thank God... for Patient...
Angels!

When I called it 'quits'... in The Hen House... tonight...
I walked through...the rabbit hole...
to say..
"Good Night"...
I saw one...of the Mad...Hare... gazing... into the Greenhouse...
