Aura On the Edge

Out next to the weeping willow Half-full moon still shines in early morn Amazingly the glow gets brighter As the sun on the horizon rises But the sun earlier was shrouded Obscure because of the fog and mist The birds did not seem to mind at all Their chirping was very shrill and brisk The sun rises over the horizon In a fireball of red- red this day As the sun appears everything Seems to speedily move on their way The clear light that is on the moon now Much brighter with a glow that's silver There's an aura on the very edge That reveals it is time to go soon Time for me to go as well as moon Duty calls...responsibility The chores of the day to care for home To see my families' needs are met

Sara, under the proposed House Bill you would not be able to grow anything in your backyard for your own consumption. I find the idea totally unamerican and am outraged. I enjoy growing veggies and having fruit trees. This is government intrusion at its worst! How will they enforce this if it passes? Will inspectors check out each individual's property? Have we no right to privacy anymore? Sorry, but I get steamed just thinking about it. Love, Carolyn
