The Man Who Planted a Forest
via
A young boy who loved nature and wildlife single-handedly
replants an entire forest.
It all started way back in 1979 when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar. One day, after the waters had receded, Payeng , only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead reptiles. That was the turning point of his life.

The Joy of Spring
The moss under the trees is becoming luscious and green again. Flowers are pushing their stems towards the little bits of sky they find peeking through
the branches above. On the still old fashioned farm, a mamma hen nudges
her chicks out the door. The sun warms their fuzzy little round
bodies and they chirp and peep with glee.
Look above you and see the branches stretching out to heaven and to the sun for their nourishment. Below the farm animals and the little wild ones enjoy the delights of spring much as we do. They relish this season just the same.
Babies quickly grow during spring and soon their baby ways are gone. We adore the way they look right now. A cute and cuddly baby bunny can be forgiven his browse and nibble of your pansies this spring. When he is grown you will grumble at his natural actions.
The colors of the season bring utter joy to our hearts and we absorb
every bit we can into our very souls.
The chocolate bunnies in the green cello grass evoke our memories of youth and we pass this sweet tradition on to our children and grandchildren. We enjoy the happiness the simple Easter basket brings. Children hunting for colored eggs brings tears to some eyes remembering long past years of our own childhoods.
The simple beauty of a colored egg. What could be more pretty
in the spring kitchen?
The early spring garden with the fragrant grape hyacinth, oh how
our senses look forward to this!
Renewing, stretching, growing!
All the things we should continue all through our lives!
How wonderful it is to see this rebirth of the earth, of new life each year.

I Hear the Bird Song...
The birds are singing again! Spring is arriving and the grass is turning green. The leaves are budding out on the trees and the fresh air wafts through my window making the curtains flutter. What a beautiful world it is.

Ready for Spring Yet?

I am.... so ready for Spring! The white/brown out has lasted quite long enough. Let us imagine what the next few weeks will have for us. Some blooming crocus perhaps, the tulips and daffodils pushing up through the soil. The grass turning green and the last bit of snow melting away.

Soon baby animals will be playing in the pastures! Kicking up their heels on a fine spring morning!
Beautiful colors!
Lovely bluebells!
I can almost smell the fresh spring air! Ahhh! Have a wonderful day!

Oh Rosie was a Princess fair, Princess fair, Princess fairAn ancient castle was her homeFair Rosie sits in her high towerA wicked fairy found her thereFair Rosie sleeps a hundred yearsA forest grew around her towerA handsome prince comes riding byFair Rosie now need sleep no moreThe prince is dancing with his brideand all the guests make merry there...Rosie was a Princess Fair
A wicked fairy found her there
Fair Rosie sleeps a hundred years
Fair Rosie sleeps a hundred years
A forest grew around her tower
A handsome prince comes riding by
The prince is dancing with his bride
and all the guests make merry there...
Rosie was a Princess Fair
