We’re Building Bridges…

The weather has been so nice the last few days, we started working on some of our spring projects already.
Here is Flash showing off our new bridge in the backyard. We found places that would build one for $600. We built it ourselves for under $100.

Michael, seeing what you have done over the years and the good friend you have been, I thought I would give you a copy of The Bridge Builder by William Allen Dromgoole - It has always been one of my favorite poems.
The Bridge Builder
An old man, going a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To chasm, vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way;
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide –
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?”
The builder lifted his old gray head:
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pit-fall be,
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.”
Michael, you have been that Bridge builder. Youth though you be!

Your fur-baby is gorgeous. He looks so regal sitting on that bridge, which looks awsome as well! My hubby does the building projects here too. He’s always in the garage building something out of wood, metal, etc. When he gets home today I’ll have to show him the picture of your bridge. :) It’s very nice. :)
