Mother Nature's Son

~.~

Earthy warm colors (especially in winter) are so comforting.

I have selected several pieces from my ETSY shop that are rich, textural, and "earthy" ...

"Sit beside a mountain stream--see her waters rise. Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies."

BEATLES - Mother Nature's Son -- Listen as you browse

"Find me in my field of grass--Mother Nature's son. Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun. Mother Nature's son."

World War II (Ken Burns PBS)

Meet my Dad...

A young kid from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - who joined in to help stop the madness.

My Dad, Smitty, is on the far left - he said he and the guys sometimes rotated positions, but mainly he was the waist gunner. This B-17 is "Sack Time Sioux". Next to him are Strehlow and Croner.

Here is the entire crew... pictured in Deopham Green, England - where their bomb squadron, the 728th, began their missions.

Dad was part of the Mighty Eighth's 452nd Bomb Group.

Dad on the remains of the day.

German fighters spotted the squadron flying into Russia and came back with reinforcements for a bombing run which left our boys with nothing except a long 'walk' back home to England via North Africa and other places never before imagined by this steel mill boy.

Decorated and back home safe after 35 missions - my Dad.

If you missed Ken Burns 7-part film called simply THE WAR on PBS, please find it and watch with your children. God Bless America and our military and those who remember.

joy in the journey,
