a-Well I told my mama on the day I was born "Dontcha cry when you see I'm gone"
"Ya know there ain't no man (well except for my sweetie) gonna settle me down" "I just gotta be travelin' on" a-Singin'
Yeah, I don't care when the sun goes down Where I lay my weary head
Green, green valley or rocky road It's there I'm gonna make my bed Easy, now
Green, green, it's green they say (On the far side of the hill (Green, green, I'm goin' away (To where the grass is greener still
Hi All, Cindi Lou Who here! Mom seems to be having a 60's flashback. Do you remember The New Christy Minstrels? Please take a few minutes and visit Hootin' Anni's Thursday Theme Song.
I have not heard that song before, but it has that 60s sound. Your photos are wonderful. Such beautiful scenery in them all. Ms. Cindy Lou has some rather interesting eyes. Great Job!!
green, green, I'm a goin' away~~~~man, talk about flashback! I used to sing that with the folk group I belonged to. We called ourselves the Lincoln Singers...thanks for a sweet memory.,and fab photos ta boot! BlessYourHeart
And your song...oh does it bring back so many fond memories of days gone by. Yes, I do remember the Christy Minstrels...in fact, in my purrsonal opinion I feel that the 50s and 60s were the best eras for lyrical songs. They outshine 'em all!!
Oh yes Mom remembers them.. and loves this song and your pictures, especially Miss Cindi Lou! LET ME JUST SAY MOM HAS HAD A BEAR OF A TIME WITH OUR BLOG TODAY. She got lots of message about Blogger not being supported by our browser told us to change to Google Chrome which we did and now we have the upgraded blogger interface which is 200% different from what we were used to. After all of that she finally got on our blog and can read comments. The only problem is she isn't sure how she got here. MOL. At one point she thought this would be the end of blogging. Mom is not at all technical. Hugs Madi and Mom
I love this choice for TTS. I remember the song Green Green perfectly, word for word, and of course I remember The New Christy Minstrels. I agree with Anni about songs from the 50s and 60s. We all knew all the words, and even I could almost carry the tunes because they were, as Anni said, lyrical.
PS Love the photos, especially Miss Who. And laughed at the picture of the rocks with the words "green green valley or rocky road, that's where I'm gonna lay my head"!!
Lurvvvvve your photos and of course our V-e-R-y old mama remembers the New Christie Minstril and Green Green. Thanks for the memory. Smooches from pooches, BabyRocketDog & Hootie
I absolutely adore these pictures, and the lyrics go along so nicely! Cindi Lou Who looks stunning up against the green too! It really brings her eyes out :) You've inspired me to take a walk through nature.. and soon! Thanks!
I really enjoyed this, Judy:-) Love your photos and Miss Cindi Lou Who looks terrific. (I had to smile at the 'Gureen, gureen' and 'the gurass is gureener still')

What's That?
I don't know but . . .
did you see that?
When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to
look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.

Grew up in a small Georgia town with a desire to see some of the places I had read about and many I had not. I moved to Alaska and lived there for about ten years. My jobs took me to many parts of the state including Barrow, Nome, Kodiak Island and many more. I have also lived in California, Oregon and now Washington state.
Let this be the story of the journey so far.
The past is a nice place to visit, but I don't want to live there.
The past is a fun place to visit, but today is where I am now.
The past is a interesting place to visit, But tomorrow will bring new memories.

It Couldn't Be Done
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That "maybe it couldn’t," but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you’ll never do that; At least no one ever has done it;" But he took off his coat and he took off his hat And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure, There are thousands to point out to you one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That "cannot be done," and you’ll do it.

Thank You MzzLily
My Fairy
My fairy is called Tangle Saturnshimmer
She is a trouble maker.
She lives at the bottom of tangled gardens and in hedgerows.
She is only seen when the first flowers begin to blossom.
She wears tangled dresses of multicoloured petals. She has delicate pale pink wings like a cicada.
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
