We each need to find our corner of the sky...

With apple trees and honey bees and snow white turtle doves.

Deal. Though I may be allergic to bee stings.

Not to worry. They will be busy with the apple tree blossoms.

Yeah, me too, but I need to be reminded right now. When I was little, my nickname was Pee Wee. Pee Wee is still brave.

Oh, I remember this song and my 9 year old self wondering why it couldn't be done. Listening again I wonder if the furnish it with love part was and continues to be overlooked. The darn love, so tricky and hard right now but I'm trying. Thanks for the memory and reminder….furnish it with love. :)

Crhis, yes! I think you are on to something, the "furnish it with love" part. Seems so easy, so perfect, so possible...is it?

Wendy, thank you. Yes, it is a very, very challenging time in our world/country, isn't it?

I remember that advert so clearly. And all the other Coca Cola adverts of the time. America was such a legend for me back then, such a dream for a young girl in Switzerland.

And although my ecological awareness was basically zero at the time, I believe we got by with far less. And it was great! Despite not living in America 🤗🙏✨

Mary,

How did I miss this one! A timeless post that I will send out on ~ripple~! Your recalling of who you were as a kid and the concern for a better planet you had mirrors my own better Earth hopes at that age, and still. Let's keep doing and hoping!

Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,

~Wendy💜
