45 of 365 Buoyant Resilient ... we got to weather the weather 1928
45 of 365
poem by Diane Albertina:
Circlets of petals with-pollen-for-centers surround Lydia who (like Emily Dickinson) goes about her daily chores, noting a little word here, a little word there, loosely mingling them in embroidered pockets with torn corners re-attached only yesterday to her earth-weary tattered blue apron , then petals lavender and pink, sagging from lack of moisture yet still smelling sweet, collapse in Lydia’s clasped hands while her garden offers different shades of whites.
" TO MY GIRL TO MY SWEETHEART LOVE FROM DADDY" written in pencil to "my mommy" by MY daddy long before I was born.
They were having hard times financially (sort of like now in 2008 for people!) and he gave her this to show his love though he wasn't making a lot of money and to let her know that with love they could indeed "weather the weather".
ALSO, this is a perpetual calendar (you slide the months and days on a little cardboard backer). So I can still use it!
My father gave it to "my mommy" to say his love for her was "perpetual" and never ending.
This was the sweetness of the "1928-style" days of their lives.
