Good Timber (continued)

by Douglas Malloch

Good timber does not grow with ease:

The stronger wind, the stronger trees;

The further sky, the greater length;

The more the storm, the more the strength.

By sun and cold, by rain and snow,

In trees and men good timbers grow.

Where thickest lies the forest growth,
We find the patriarchs of both.
And they hold counsel with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife.
This is the common law of life.

Photography: Take pictures of the things from your gratitude list above, or of things you could photograph that represent your gratitude items.

Imaginative Arts:

Draw and color a bird. Choose an image from a birding guidebook or from the internet. Add as much detail as you can. You can choose any bird; if you are having a hard time narrowing it down, consider drawing the bird you did your report on earlier. (You can even trace the outline, if that would be helpful in getting started.)

Here are some links to websites, if you need some ideas:

Ducks

Audobon's bird illustrations

All about birds (good place to find a good photo if you already know what bird you want to draw)

Good Timber

by Douglas Malloch

The tree that never had to fight

For sun and sky and air and light,

But stood out in the open plain

And always got its share of rain,

Never became a forest king

But lived and died a scrubby thing.

The man who never had to toil

To gain and farm his patch of soil,

Who never had to win his share

Of sun and sky and light and air,

Never became a manly man

But lived and died as he began.

Leadership:

Find a person you would like to learn more about.  Read a book about them. Find more out about them on the internet.

Come to class ready to present about them. Dress like them. Show us about their life and what they did.  Why did you pick them? Be creative and fun in showing us who this person is and what they have accomplished. HAVE FUN!

I have wept in the night

For the shortness of sight

That to somebody's needs made me blind.

But I never have yet

Felt a tinge of regret 

For being a little too kind.

Eureka!

The Ingenious Little Old Man

by John Bennett

A little old man of the sea

Went out in a boat for a sail:

The water came in

Almost up to his chin

And he had nothing with which to bail.

But this little old man of the sea

Just drew out his jack-knife so stout,

And a hole with his blade

In the bottom he made,

So that all of the water ran out.
