Second Bedtime Story for GG's Boys

Today is EARTH DAY 2009! It is a very special day for your GG. I am a stuborn old Taurus and my animal is the bull! That's right, a bull! I'm scared to pieces around bulls. That never kept your GG from riding in rodeos when I was a teenager. The sign of Taurus is the first Earth sign. I guess that might be why I used to love to take a book and a snack with me when I would go off walking in the woods for the day. Now boys, I don't claim to be very smart when it comes to the woods. Your Daddy knows a whole lot more than I ever will. But when I was just a little older than you two are now, I sure did love my walks. I remember there was one special hill that I almost always had my snack at. It was right on top of a hill where the pine trees sang beautiful songs to me. There was a small pond on top of that hill and sometimes I would catch and release what I called 'sunfish'. They were no bigger than your hand! After fishing for a short while, I would scoot my back up against one of those old pine trees and read my book... sometimes for hours. And I fell in love with the Earth during those walks. I loved to hear the voices of the birds and the occassional MOO of those big white cows up there with me. The squirrels in the trees would play tag. Once or twice I fell asleep up there. There were no houses to be seen from up there. I felt safe there. Alone, but with all of my friends of the forrest to keep me company. The fallen pine needles made a fine warm nest for me. I miss those days. So maybe, if you get the chance, you might tell our Earth that I love her still. Just nearly as much as I love both of you! Goodnight, Blessings of life to each of you! your very own GG...
