Little One and I were just starting out to have a lovely cup of tea,
when suddenly something started to happen,
and all was abandoned
for the show
We were fascinated as nine men descended on our yard to take away some old trees.
It's always sad when they go, but in no time you forget how it used to look.
We were mesmerized by their beautiful example of team work, and talked
about the furniture that would be made, or houses that would be built from the logs.
Sometimes when I watch trees sway,
From the window or the door.
I shall set forth for somewhere,
I shall make the reckless choice
Some day when they are in voice
And tossing so as to scare
The white clouds over them on.
from The Sound of Trees by Robert Frost
Precious little princess you have there. Nothing like seeing things through the eyes of a child.
ReplyDeleteThere are times when tea just has to wait! Little One is engrossed and it sounds as if grandmother was as well.

Such a little sweetheart, so fun to see what mesmerizes a child. But so sad to see trees go, but sometimes their lifespan is spent and that is the only thing to do.

Tea can wait when there's a rare show like THAT goin' on!
