Springtime at Arline's Ancestors

Springtime is such a happy time, new things sprouting up, new wildlife babies being born in the woods, nicer weather, green trees, and grass to mow. I wanted to brighten up my web site by including something about spring. Here you will find links to my spring and summer greetings to my friends and family, along with links to my main holiday site, as well as links to my genealogy pages. And no holiday page would be complete without a poem or two.

While I may disagree with the opinion of author
of the following poem, I love the poem, and I love fried apple pies.

DRIED APPLE PIES
Author Unknown

I loate, abhor, detest, despise,
Abominate dried-apple pies,
I like good bread, I like good meat,
Or anything that's fit to eat;

But of all poor grub beneath the skies,
The poorest is dreid apple pies.
Give me the toothache, or sore eyes,
But don't give me dried apple pies.

The farmer takes his gnarliest fruit,
'Tis wormy, bitter, and hard, to boot;
He leaves the hulls to make us cough,
And don't take half the peeling off.

Then on a dirty cord 'tis strung
And in a garret window hung,
And there it serves as roost for flies,
Until it's made up into pies.

Tread on my corns, or tell me lies,
But don't pass me dried-apple pies.
