IM NOT LOOKING TO BE TOLD ITS LITTLE KIDDISH OR IT SOUNDS MUSHY- I JUST WANT MY STYLE EVALUATED AND WHETHER OR NOT IM ANY GOOD AT WRITING POETRY— IVE BEEN WRITING POETRY SINCE I WAS 3 WHEN MY MOM TAUGHT ME HOW TO READ AND WRITE AND I JUST WANNA KNOW IF IM ANY GOOD AT WHAT I HAVE SUCH GREAT PASSION FOR:

Let us live for today
For tomorrow we shall die
It is looking like rain
And the winds of disapproval are blowing heavily
The dark clouds with a critical eye are bearing down
Yes when it rains it pours my love
Come please keep me in faith
And I will keep you in mine
We can’t hold on forever
Or can we?

If you must go, don’t forget me
For I shall not forget you
The days spent with you were not in vain
But the hours of your departure are what bring the pain
Tis not us driving one another apart
Only the outsiders with hammers
Tearing down our walls

They should not be allowed
But the world does not care
For we are but two small people
They tell us seek for advantage
Yet we find that and more

A life without you is a thought I cannot bare to entertain
If you fight, I will fight
For we shall slay those beastly dragons
We are young, yes
However it is to our advantage

There is so much more to life than you
But it is with you that I want to find that much more

You’ve been my best friend
And right hand man
So please do not forsake me now
We shall press on through the storm
Because there is always another side to a cloud
It will tire us both
We will feel as if it’s not worth it
Like we cannot go on
Will we go on?

The clouds shall part
The wind shall cease
The rain shall damn up
And out will come the sun
The birds will sing in harmony
Critters will find their delight
As shall we

It will be the day when you lay your knee down,
Down on this God-given earth and ask my hand
I shall look at mother
I shall look at father
The answer I have is already in mind,
So why bother with other careless minds?

My yes will ring like bells in your ears
And your warm embrace
And shower of kisses
Will make us realize the worth of the fight

When we can stand before friends and family
Yes father and mother too
All in one agreement
The breeze blowing
And catching my hair
The sun shining
And lighting up your icy blue eyes
You trenched in black
And I bound with white satin
Your hands folded patiently
But your nerves despise
My free and flowy walk through the abundance of people
And they shall rise in respect
As this maiden walks to her future

You take my hands into yours
And peer ever so deeply into my soul
But I peer right back
You smile and I smile
A man begins
And our “I Do’s” pass between us
To love and to hold
Through sickness and strife
Forever and always
And if we may cheat death,
Let us cheat it together.

I yours and you mine.
Your soft honeysuckle lips taste mine,
Sealing our vows and love for one another
And we begin our first walk together through this world

We dance and celebrate,
And wash away the pain of yesterday.

Dusk finally settles
And our love flutters
As you take me under your roof and protection
And make love to me in the depths of the night
Promising to never let me go,
Making me yours,
Forever and ever.

And for the first time spending a night wrapped in your arms
Our troubles no longer chasing away sleep.
The feel of your breath running down my neck,
And your heartbeat with mine
Makes me sleep sound for the first time in years

The dawn will break,
With a ray of sunlight resting,
Resting on two bodies intermingled and sweetly sleeping.

The sun bright and cheerful will coax open our eyes.
Fluttering and focusing,
To find the love of your life staring right back.
Yes another dawn another day,
Only this time not alone,
But with you my love.

So can’t you see it?
Can’t you make it live in your mind?
Come don’t leave me,
Take my hand and let’s fight,
Fight to the other side of the storm,
And make these dreams live.

I need ideas for watering a vegetable garden!?




My husband and I bought 3 acres for our future homestead we are saving up for. In the meantime, I REALLY want to put a vegetable garden there for our family. The only problem is we have no access to water and I just know all you creative gardeners out there can help me find a reasonable and affordable solution to this problem.
Yes, we do get rain where we are. Northern Indiana







for me: train whistle in the distance…wind chimes…rain falling down…etc.







Also, will it crack over winters?

My old one developed mildew, and I don’t want to have to bring it in, in the rain.







Ok it was back in the ’80s and the song is called "I’ll Walk In The Rain By Your Side" and the lyrics are:
I’ll walk in the rain by your side, I’ll cling to the warmth of your hand, I’ll do anything to keep you satisfied, I’ll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me, little birds will sing along in time, leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.
I’ll be there when your feeling down, to kiss away the tears if you cry, I’ll share with you all the happiness I found a reflection of the love in your eyes, and I’ll sing you the song of the rainbow, I’ll whisper of the joy that is mine, and the leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.
I’ll walk in the rain by your side, I’ll cling to the warmth of your hand, I’ll do anything to help you understand, I’ll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me, little birds will sing along in time, leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime.

Who is this song by????




What should I grow in my home vegetable garden?




I’m working on learning how to be more self-sufficient, and living "off the grid." One of the things I’ve been researching is gardening. Specifically, I’m wanting to start a well balanced fruit and vegetable garden. I live in the NorthWest, and we get a lot of rain. The hottest it gets is like 100 in the summer, and things usually freeze in the winter.

What should I grow in my garden? The goal is to be able to grow food to provide for my family all year around. Yes, I understand I’ll need to store some of it through the winter, and that I can hunt and fish, etc. Also, let’s just say the size of the garden can be as big as needed, so no worries there. My focus is on what specifically should I grow to have a well balanced diet ongoing.







Every year my mom and I design our garden around this time but I have been assigned to find the plants I want this year. We already have lilies and tulips planted, they’re so pretty. We have these three azalea bushes that I can’t wait to get rid of but I want more flowers that will be eye-catching and pretty. I don’t mind if I have to replant them next year. I really like Bleeding Heart flowers, they’re gorgeous. What are good flowers to plant in the early spring? I am thinking of planting a Cherry Blossom tree but I don’t know. Ideas?
I live in Baltimore, MD and the weather isn’t supposed to drop back down under 50 again and this upcoming week its gonna be high 60′s with rain :) The springs are normally warm…
I’m near the Chesapeake Bay–about ten minutes away by car. My neighborhood is mostly grass, my garden is against the kitchen and right next to my neighbor’s huge tree. My yard gets ALOT of water when it rains, to the point of little pools in the grass




Are there any noises that you find depressing?




I find the sound of wind chimes depressing as well as the sound of wind itself. I also find the constant droning sound of cars passing by on the highway depressing. Ironically, hearing and seeing rain cheers me up.







Tranquil sounds that relief anxiety,or just make you feel isolated and in a tranced state.
Some of the most calming sounds for me is rain gently pounding a pool of water causing ripples, hearing the wind blow through trees making them rattle and sway, waves crashing upon the shore, and the sound of wind chimes being blown.







I also need to call someone to hire. My patio floor has 4ft footing around included. I live in Homestead, Florida.
No pergola, too. That pergola would give us wet floor. A real roof with block or bricks around 3 post would be a shady and no wet from rain/windy.







some of it’s lyrics are-
i’ll walk in the rain by your side…

cho:
and the wind will whisper your name to me
…..
the leaves will bow down
when you walk by
and morning bells will chime




what do you think of my poem?




don’t copy this.
all is copyrighted.
i’ma find youu!

If the sun didn’t shine,
If the birds didn’t sing.
If the wind didn’t blow,
If the bells didn’t ring.

If the waves didn’t crash.
If the moon didn’t glow.
If the flowers didn’t blossom,
If the trees didn’t grow.

If rainbows didn’t show,
After every rain,
If bruises didn’t heal,
After every pain.

If the world wasn’t what,
It needs to be,
Is there any chance,
You would still love me?




How do I fix the draft in my patio door?




My sliding patio door has a draft between the stationary portion and the sliding portion when it is closed. When it is windy snow and/or rain will come through this space as well. I tried some weather stripping, but because it slides the adhesive has worn off. Does anyone know of a solution, or a different type of weatherstripping made for this issue? I have had no luck at hardware stores.




How can I kill mold on my patio?




I have this white fuzzy mold growing on my patio and I don’t know what to use to get rid of it. I’ve read that bleach doesn’t work. I’ve sprayed some lysol on it but the smell is rather strong. What can I use to make sure that I get this mold under control. I like to go out there and sit sometimes but now I don’t feel safe. The mold is growing on the cement from the rain. Any ideas?
