Crop Dusters, Porch Swings and Home

June 23, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 9 Comments

Arkansas…

sister-cousins

sister-cousins

Sunrise

over rice fields,

crop dusters soar and dip,

cousins down the road, memories,

sunsets.

Texas…

porch swing days - Munger Place, Dallas

porch swing days

Porch swing

days, early blooms,

margaritas and Mavs,

cowboys and music, neighbors who

gather.

    What a treat this morning, to be greeted by the picture of you, Staci, and Lesa. “Cousins down the road…….” Enjoyed this very much. Such memories………….

    Very nice! Are you torn between the two? You seem to make the most of both.

    It brings back memories of sitting on a porch swing with my mom, sweet delights of the past.

      Art, Will you just spare me and cut me off with a chainsaw?! I don’t want to be part of you anymore as I believe you can get an enhancement and replace me with a bigger nose than the one that is already on your shovel-faced mug.Happily and waiting for your reply/action, Art’s Chode
