Answer: Timothy is a word I first learned about from our fellow poetess, Regina Elliot. It is a hardy grass, often interspersed with cattails, oftne used for grazing or hay. Hey, hey! :) gw

Never trample on hardy timothy - lest the grass be swiped from under your feet. Belle

Ha, ha. These days I had better be careful, as the wrong kind of swipe can result in a fraudulent c.c. charge! lol. Thanks, Belle

I love the smell of fresh mown Hay. Also the way it smells after a rain when it's still growing. Thre is something about the country that never leaves your blood. Great job here. God Bless, JB

I agree. I've lived in Chicago for 38 years of my life, but my home, I feel, is still Sde Eliyahu, Israel, which has all of about 450 people. ~ gw

I am hoping that Hardy Timothy is a plant.

Yes, indeed. 'Twas I who planted Timothy Hardy in the poem. :) gw
