fresh pure and fragrant

Golden Brodie’s history nuggets: #8 POTUS & tigers, Oh My!
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…

Haiku: Red-tailed
Effortless soaring
keen hunter with strong talons
A majestic hawk

Uncomplicated Thoughts: ofttimes
ofttimes…it’s poetic for doing it over and over again.
Uncomplicated thoughts: White then green
the snow comes
then the green springs
Haiku: snowfall
Hush on the landscape
Each unique flake dances down
Finally resting

Haiku: Cherry Blossoms
Stay closed pink puffy
Braving the late winter winds
Patiently waiting
yet to open
Haiku poem by PamelaWLucas 3/10/17
The National Park Service predicts that the cherry blossoms will reach peak bloom sometime between March 19 and 22. They revised their forecast on March 8 in light of colder than expected temperatures forecast for the coming week. Their initial prediction, issued on March 1, was for March 14 to 17.
