The Seasons: A Poem

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.

Easter, birthday, and new life!

The Hahn family had a wonderful weekend that began Saturday evening with a birthday party for #6 who turned 6 on Easter Sunday.  He requested drummies on the grill so as soon as I got home from work Saturday evening, I fired up the grill.  Along with the chicken we had green beans (ours), mashed potatoes, fruit salad, and rolls.

Easter Sunday morning brought the birthday boy to our room at 5:00 AM only to be turned away and to the couch until a time suitable for a normal human.  Even the women didn't go to the tomb that early, at least I don't think they did, maybe they did...


















After Mass it was off to the "farm" that was once the home of my grandparents.  The farm is still in the family and used for gatherings, hunting, and some farming by my relatives.  The kids had an egg hunt and the adults chatted away and ate lunch.
























































Later in the afternoon, after a much needed nap (by me), we went next door to my parents for Easter dinner.  My brother, Fr. Hahn, had found a stray while hiking and brought him to dinner.  The kids loved him.  After dinner we celebrated the birthday and other momentous events in the life of the Hahn family.  Looks like I'll need to make more room on header for the blog...
