Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod
Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod, one night sailed off in a wooden shoe;
Sailed off on a river of crystal light into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going and what do you wish?" the old moon asked the three.
"We've come to fish for the herring fish that live in this beautiful sea.
Nets of silver and gold have we," said Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod.
The above is the first verse of a favorite nursery rhyme. In it Winkin' and Blinkin' are a little tot's sleepy eyes, Nod is it's head and the wooden shoe is the cradle rocking them out to dreamland. It is a very pleasant poem where the fish they want to catch are really the stars in the beautiful sea.
Calming thoughts on a stormy day.

How appropriate. Nice thoughts. It's also neat to learn that it is the "old moon" and not the "old man", as I previously thought. "Old moon" makes more sense.
I like the photo that accompanies your blog today. It is a very calming scene.
I pray your stormy day will turn into a sunny one tomorrow.

The scene is at Marblehead, MA. This is very close to our friend's house where we visited this past summer. It really is a calming sight to see.
I love you, Mom.
