Donna In Redwood

Must keep up to date files and pictures of the wifey. We are co-drivers and co-owner/operators with Fed Ex Custom Critical...and drive all over the US and Canada delivering overnight freight... taking pictures...eating Vietnamese food...and playing golf...with our trusty companion Gracie the German Pomeranian (father was a German Shepherd/mother was a Pomeranian...it was a bad mixed relationship) We live in beautiful St Augustine, Florida on purpose...but we love the West and West Coast.

 

We often say that the northern California Redwood area is the most beautiful place in the US...there are many...but there is so much to offer in this area with climate, natural beauty, oceans, mountains, rivers...very moderate temperature year round, but can get over 100 degrees within 50 miles of here in the summer...and have 4 or 5 feet of snow within 100 miles of here in the winter.

 

In this picture, Donna is trying to rip down one of the trees to take home and use in the front yard...of course the tree is larger than our house...so that could be a small problem. The tree here is in HDR...the wife is not...and for good reason! Actually, she loves to take home anything redwood for gifts, etc...they smell good...honestly though, we love to walk through the redwood groves together...its like being in a huge church or something...and they really make you feel at home. Donna has always reminded me of an elven princess and her colors really fit in here with this beautiful wood.

 

 

diamond daggered daughter (James watkins)

 

Diamond daggered daughter-

radiance so rare-

soft as starlight,

hard as heaven,

strength beyond compare.

 

Constant as the morning-

dazzling as the day-

golden nights and moonlit flights-

in lasting love‘s foray.

 

Autumn colored princess,

fallish fawning fair-

rooted deep---through winter's sleep-

she waits without a care.

 

Go gently in her presence-

you gilding gown of day-

for joy is in her armament,

and life in her array.

 

Bold bolstering hands

by helpful heart,

contend on buttress bare...

Full-forced she stands

against all fear-

her armory prepared.

 

Against the challenge of her time-

far from frenzied fray-

of mystery and darkened mind-

that hunts the periled prey.

 

The soul of man

can not withstand,

her onslaught soon released-

of warmth and laughter

waxing wild

with primal passioned peace.

 

So run your race with confidence-

and stand before your king-

your storehouse full and prospering-

your children clothed and clean.

 

Your husband known by men of war-

your journey now complete-

prepared to stand at God's right hand-

with crowns before his feet.
