This photo brings tears to my eyes when I look at how happy my sister and I were as little kids with our hero, Dad. He was a great father who always provided us with wonderful places to live and made sure we appreciated nature in all of our surroundings. Cheers to the memories, Dad!</p> <p>P.S….Do you see the boulder behind Dad’s head? We called that the “Whale Rock” and thought we were on top of the world every time we climbed it!</p> <p><em>P.S.S…Click on the photo for a larger view.</em></p>http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/982998774http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/982998774Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:38:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpv444nFjO1qz5e7uo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>September 12, 2009:</b> I dub thee the <b>Barbara Jean </b>Rose…Happy Birthday, Mom!</p>http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/186121104http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/186121104Sat, 12 Sep 2009 10:26:00 -0400Acrostic Poetry - September 12, 2009: (Unrhymed verse in which the letters of the topic are written...http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/186117311http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/186117311Sat, 12 Sep 2009 10:19:00 -0400<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/186135272/tumblr_kpv5abG7fb1qz5e7u&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>Audio Version of <b>Happy Birthday To Mom</b>.</p>http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/186135272http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/186135272Sat, 12 Sep 2009 07:00:00 -0400August 20, 2009 - Exerpt from “Under The Sea-Wind”, by Rachel Carson I found a...http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/169617654http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/169617654Thu, 20 Aug 2009 08:16:00 -0400<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/169686087/tumblr_kou3i1EBVD1qz5e7u&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>Audio Version of Yearly Tribute to My Dad.</p>http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/169686087http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/169686087Thu, 20 Aug 2009 06:16:00 -0400Acrostic Poetry - February 1, 2009 (Unrhymed verse in which the letters of the topic are written...http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/74794999http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/74794999Sun, 01 Feb 2009 11:11:00 -0500<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/74800817/xH8Pub5FnjfhljlfZYXqdN3n&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>Audio Version of Cabin Fever.</p>http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/74800817http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/74800817Sun, 01 Feb 2009 11:00:00 -0500To MomFrom Mom I got my love of words,My love of rhyming too.My love of writing poetry,My love of...http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/34434465http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/34434465Sun, 11 May 2008 09:18:00 -0400<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/34432897/xH8Pub5Fn8v6cafmoyIBSr56&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>Audio Version of Mother’s Day Poem</p>http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/34432897http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/34432897Sun, 11 May 2008 08:52:00 -0400December 24, 2007 - Acrostic Poetry(Unrhymed verse in which the letters of the topic are written...http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/22304272http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/22304272Mon, 24 Dec 2007 10:51:00 -0500<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/75008361/xH8Pub5Fnjgm5n9cXUezDOeD&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>Audio Version of Snowflakes</p>http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/75008361http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/75008361Mon, 24 Dec 2007 08:00:00 -0500 September 26, 2007  I went kayaking on the pond yesterday afternoon to enjoy some of the...http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/13267489http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/13267489Wed, 26 Sep 2007 22:37:00 -0400<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/75276072/xH8Pub5FnjhyfuphBwGp64LX&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>Audio Version of Good Steward</p>http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/75276072http://poetry.mainenaturediary.com/post/75276072Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:00:00 -0400 September 16, 2007  I felt as though I had returned home after a long absence.
