Time For a Tootsie Roll Treat

Does one ever tire of Tootsie Rolls. I would vote for them if there were polls, They’ve been around as long as soup bowls. ‘Cause it fills our chocolate need & has no holes.
Even though Tootsie Rolls have been around forever, I still love them. They always remind me of simpler times and places. You wont find me passing up one, but I especially love the bigger ones that take several bites and really fit the bill.

The Grass Grows Green

Hills and mountains in their velvet green best. But won’t stay long for the sun is the test. They’ll change into a peanut brittle vest. Adorned with a fancy eye catching crest.
It is a joy to see the hills and mountains so green and soft looking. With all the rain we have had this spring, it's a great bonus. All too soon the heat will dry out those verdant fields and turn them a fuzzy, peanut brittle tan. The Lord's footstool is beautiful no matter the color, but a brilliant green is so divine.
It reminds me of our own farm as the seeds began to grow turning it into a living thing. I didn't appreciate it back then, but how I long for it now. Thanks Dad for being a farmer.

A Neat Nut is a Happy Nut

Someone has to clean this mess up, but not me! I can't freely toss them down with much glee. So here's a shape created. And it's free. I ate some nuts. It's time to eat you see.
Most moms learn early to never toss anything on the floor. We just have to pick it up or sweep it up later. Therefore, I had a hard time tossing the nuts on the floor at this restaurant. Someone has to clean them up, even if it isn't me. At first I put them in a pile, then changed it to an arrow for creativity. Another woman, probably a mother, set her nuts beside mine. It used to be fun, but now it's just not possible to toss as freely as a child. Thanks for teaching me to do the right thing, except when I am at this restaurant.
