…it off…watch out for the weeds…move on
The gentle people exist and thrive… The Gentle Barn…they save and bring back to life abused animals…the animals then give hope and inspiration to children with the same stories. Find Dudley and you’ll never forget him.
Golden…it’s all golden…

Soft & delicate
sweet wrapping climbing tendrils
fresh pure and fragrant

Born in 1782 and died during the Civil War…Kinderhook, New York was his birthplace… of Dutch decent and the son of a tavern owner…made it through middle school…then studied law and passed the bar…had the nickname of “Red Fox of Kinderhook” because of his red flaming hair…served faithfully in Andrew Jackson’s cabinet…was a senator…had a one term presidency from 1837–1841…his presidency began with financial crisis which he inherited…banks failing…know as the “Panic of 1837″…a real run on bad luck for Martin Van Buren…aka Red Fox…8th President of the United States.

No dog paws in the Red Fox White House but Van Buren was given a pair of tiger cubs by the Sultan of Oman…the cubs stayed with Red for a short period of time and then off to the zoo they went. Bet they were beauties…
Golden Brodie the Golden Retriever…digger of history nuggets… signing off…over and out…

Effortless soaring
keen hunter with strong talons
A majestic hawk

ofttimes…it’s poetic for doing it over and over again.
An empty bench has the potential to seat many…depending on how many share.
