The Teeny Tiny Ones
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band,
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you married a music man,
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancin' in the sand,
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand.

OK, here we go. It's been nine years now and we're just getting number 10 started. Last year was a blast. Good times, sad times and everything in between. Lots of flowers, lots of birds, lots of firehouses, a day in the Capital, a weekend in Shenandoah, 10 days in my spiritual home, Colorado, a morning with the eagles and New Years in Chincoteague. Oh, and some hiking with the boys. This year promises more. A new destination is in my future, it may prove to become a new frontier to discover. The backyard promises more flowers, the boys promise more hiking and I'm sure there are more of our fine feathered friends waiting somewhere for me. Thank you all for those few seconds I take every day. Year 10... starts now... hold on tight... (by the numbers, 9 years, 156,933 blogviews (23,454 this past year) 2.962 posts (338 in year 9) And World of Pigeons is now my Number 1 post!)

Yellow Wildflowers
Baby whatcha say we go pickin' wildflowers,
Got a spot way back in the woods,
Sneak away for a couple of hours,
You and me baby, pickin' wildflowers.
