Up into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me?
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad in foreign lands.
I saw the next door garden lie,
Adorned with flowers, before my eye,
And many pleasant places more
That I had never seen before.
Robert Stevenson
We’ve been reading A Children’s Garden of Verses, memorizing a poem every few months and listening to the songs by Ted Jacobs.
We chose this poem because it was so apt to this time in our life living in a “foreign to us” land. The kids have only memories of living in the vast countryside. Now to a bustling main street of Pittsburgh, where there are cars bustling by & new sights and sounds. It can be overwhelming but it’s not bad- just new.
You can spy with your eye country kids indeed climbing a tree in our front yard in this photo.
We met our new neighbors Tessa (a nurse)& her 4 yo daughters and took a walk with them and played today what a blessing.
Today we repeat lab work to check potassium- prayers for normal and onward.
