Cranford

I checked out a video from the library called Cranford. The series was a series of stories about 19th century Cheshire. The characters and the scenery was wonderful!! I'm going to buy the video and the Return to Cranford that came out in Dec. I can't wait to see the Return.

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil.
Robert Frost

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All's right with the world!
~Robert Browning

Let's walk down the garden path past the bees drunk with pollen, past the hidden garden statue that looks like a bunny, past the iris', roses, and bleeding hearts because it is Spring.
