Grandparents Home in Lincoln, Alabama — Image by kenne
My brother and I live with our grandparents
in Lincoln while our mother was in business college.
It was during this time, the late 1940s,
that I started school, and discovered girls.
Plenty of childhood dreams
happen in this little country town.

Desert Tortoise In Our Courtyard
- Most of the time he is underground or under the courtyard ground cover.
Lately he has wanted out of the courtyard area.
He is getting bored — it is mating season.
He had made several attempt to get out, that I’m aware of.
Often with this result — not to worry, he can right himself up.

Desert Tortoise
The Desert Tortoise is Dying out,
When I hear about their history I want to cry and shout,
Off-road vehicles are driven through their home,
To look for a new one they have to roam,
Their habitats have been destroyed,
I think the tortoises are sad and annoyed,
Even though the desert looks lifeless,
There are animals out there that are helpless,
If they die others will too,
Because living things are connected like paper and glue,
Everything in this world is linked,
So we need to help them before they’re extinct.

A special hello to our friends in other places, especially our “snowbird” friends who have already left the beautiful desert for places north.
