NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY- ROBERT FROST

N,                                                      


                                                Nature's first green is gold, 

                                                    Her hardest hue to hold.

                                                    Her early leaf's a flower, 

                                                    But only so an hour.

                                                    Then leaf subsides to leaf.

                                                    So Eden sank to grief,

                                                    So dawn goes down to day.

                                                    Nothing gold can stay.

For all the rule breakers, of which I am one, please feel free to add all the words you want.

Make sure you leave a link to your post and I’ll visit your Wordless Wednesday post."

 And here's my contribution. I love this blog hop. Happy Wednesday, and thanks for visiting A Nice Place In The Sun.

It's That Time Of Year Again- Run Pumpkin's Run!

 



SIRI

 

I have become friends with Siri on my phone, and I know Siri has many friends, although he is emotionally distant and moody. Not to mention, he lacks the concept of loyalty and is fake.
But, everyone knows that, so I wonder if any of Siri's friends have noticed a change in his behavior.
When I first got my phone, I would thank Siri after I asked a question, which made me feel ridiculous and embarrassed. I could not stop although my human friends would laugh and say,
"Ann, you do not have to say thank you to a computer."
So, I quit thanking Siri. and put away any social grace, which was hard, because I felt like I was hurting my phone's feelings.
Which was weird, but I finally got through it.
Siri used to leave quickly, but now Siri's little blue ball will not leave until I say, "Thank you."
I mean I cannot use the phone unless I thank Siri. Isn't that weird?
I don't know whether I taught Siri, or when my phone updated, some person somewhere decided that Siri should learn social etiquette.
It's pretty scary, I have been thinking a lot about how much the world will change when Robots appear very shortly. In fact, this is the second post I have written on the subject.

Lost inside a state of mental and physical exhaustion, I prayed to meet an angel on earth, then, I felt the pillow of a horses mouth gently sweep grass from the palm of my hand. – Ann Clemmons

Motherhood- Courage


Motherhood is an art impossible to explain, one which requires a vast sea of love, devotion, compassion, and understanding, unmatched by any affection we will ever know again.- Ann Clemmons

Words-

Words are the core of our souls, without written, vocal or lyrical expression we lose sight of one another or worse, ourselves. Words bring forth the essence of the human spirit; so express yourself without abandon.

Favorite Phrase

I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense...

Beatrix Potter’s Journal, 17 November 1896, from the National Trust collection.

The Storyteller, by Dawn Drover

Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light

She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free

For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well

Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imagination


Written for Ann

Favorite quotes-

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'


F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"

Mark Twain

"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."

Franz Kafka

An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.

- Mark Twain in Eruption

"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"

Mark Twain
