One autumn night
a Full Harvest Moon glows
over the Red Plank House.
The Bear Paw barn quilt
hangs on the old home.
Mama pieced the Lone Star
from the scrap box:
dresses, shirts, aprons, worn out.
Adventure in the mountains:
wildlife rangers chased
a black bear through
our front yard, across the porch.
Twin cubs climbed an oak,
Spot barked up the tree.
Bears wandered the woods
searching for berries and walnuts.

Spectacular! Both picture and poem.
Thanks for your continued comments on my blog!
So Awesome Brenda. Hope you all are doing good. Susie
That bear is certainly something I NEVER want to see in our yard! It did make a good poem though in your expert hands.
Your words always paint the best pictures!
So glad you are back to your blog, Brenda. Great poem and photos.
Really enjoyed your poem, Brenda. I'm gonna try and put a few things on the back burner and do a little quilting this fall and winter.
