    What a wonderful post Carol (and ArtMuseDog) nice photo's. And that haiku on bamboo is awesome and so true ... bamboo when it has rooted deep in the garden you will not lose it. It's a strong plant and so flexible ... I love the sweet sound of bamboo rustling in the wind. Thank you for sharing this gem with us.

    Material things can be like bamboo. Taking over your life and you feel overwhelmed. It is most difficult to eradicate too once it has been there for so long.

    So much to comment on today. I'm loving the blue curve of the slide, the gentle bend of the grass, and the oh so true observation of the dominance of bamboo. Especially lovely post today, Carol.

    I am happy to get to know Cape Ann a little better, in this post and the one above. I would only have ever thought of it as a coastal village, not the country part of it. Lovely village.
