The Seasons: A Poem

Posted by on
Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

Boy's Day Out

Posted by on
I took the boys out to Clear Creek for a hike last week. After they saw the pictures from my hike they had to go and see the barn. This is the ascent up Cemetery Ridge Trail, a 700 foot rise from the road.

The boys pause for a breather and to dream of sled ridding down the hill behind them.


They spotted the barn!

A place boys could play in all day long.



We found a pool of water with frog eggs in it. Many of the tadpoles were starting to emerge from the eggs.



On the way back down the hill.

I forgot to mention that this guy was on my back the whole time. Good training for the Wilderness Outreach trip.

I'd been left behind.

If you click on the picture, you may see a red dot near the middle. That's one of the boys far ahead of dad.

They did very well considering it was about 4 miles total and much of it steep, rugged terrain. They did good this last weekend too (only 1.5 miles) www.wildcatholicheart.blogspot.com
