The driver was telling how he could flick a fly off his horse's ear with his whip-and, a fly alighting just then, he promptly did so.

Cross Creek belongs to the wind and the rain, to the sun and the seasons, to the cosmic secrecy of seed, and beyond all, to time..."

Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

A hearty, rich meat loaf, gently seasoned to perfection and served in a creamy nest of mashed farm potatoes and strictly fresh garden vegetables.
