Pioneers r us

My girl daughter is all grown up....yeah, those were my jeans not too long ago.

The zeal of recycling has consumed me

It's all about numbers..they don't lie

Why do they take it literally when I say, "you may play outside...with water"

The Sunflower's Song by Anna

Sunflowers are bold,

 Even when it's cold,

She can stand it all,

Even in the fall.

She can stand it out,

 There's no doubt,

She is so fair,

She is someone to care.

She is lovely to stay,

Day by day,

Through summer, winter, fall,

She remains very tall.

 Blow the wind may,

 She has come to stay,

 She will grow, grow, grow,

  Swift like the doe.
