Edge of the Woods

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...



Edge of the woods
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep."

The road that leads to our house runs right beside a patch of woods. A shagbark hickory tree with its distinctive peeling bark grows on the right. Most of the green ground cover in the foreground is poison ivy.

When I decide to venture into the woods, I enter from higher up the hill where the poison ivy isn't so thick.

The rule about poison ivy is, "Leaves of three, let it be."

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.
(Author unknown)

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)

Thanks for reading.
