Absolutely lovely, just like you Carol. You've a voice I could spend hours listening to and a face that would put that of Helen of Troy to shame. Hail lovely Dove. May the Gods smile upon you always.
I feel like I should be listening to this during the fall harvest here around town instead of the deep freeze i am spiraling towards. I'm going to have to close my eyes and dream a bit now.
She remembered her sweetness Turned off the TV Put on a neat dress And pretty was she She started to rhyme, And to sing and to play And people who heard that ... did not run away PS Smart and funny song, nicely sung :-)
Hey dove hope all is well! Miss u guys poopoo on cotas face for deleting the discord.. u can come on mine now.. but i might stream and stuff soon so we cud all chill there maby.. peace and cheers and i enjoyed the song! I agree if i have the land i have enuff!! Hah.. great song great song
Thanks Grid! Yeah I know! I'm heartbroken. Now I don't know what time it is on all the coasts or in the shire :( I thought I accepted an invitation to yours aaaages ago but it seems not?
Life is better when people try to do right and enforce consequences on those who don't. Being made to look sloppy or absurd while trying to do the right thing doesn't make it any less right.
Don't worry, I spent a not inconsiderable amount of time yesterday sorting the dried cut branches into different sizes, roasted potatoes on the open fire, and haven't ordered a takeaway delivery in over 10 years :) So I guess I make up for the fictional girl in my song.
@@dove4070 you have a beautiful heart. I think the legal tangle pushing pharmaceuticals can be cut through someday. Good job taking care of you. Your song reminds me of how many ppl get discouraged by looking goofy when they try to do something good.
I know Farkle!! What is one to do! I miss you guys, and I'd been so busy lately I haven't had time to share pics of two palm trees lol. (That's not my view anymore, happily.) Thank you :)

"These cottagey challenges simply are proof,"
She mused to herself in this new countryside-
"That I’m truly cut out for this kind of life."
"The land, it gives all! Take what we need
The earth, it provides! Each day is a treat

The seasoned and seasonal fruits of my labour."

Snipping a lemon, collecting a pile

"With all of their cars and carbon prints

They never breathe deep in this fresh country air."

Thank you so much Michael!
:)
So very very kind of you
Funny song, Dove. They're called fig wrigglers, I believe they're edible too. HA! Seasons greetings!
Fig wrigglers!
Hmm. I'll never eat fresh figs in the near darkness or without due attention again. A lesson I learnt 10 years ago...
Adorable baby voice of the baby sister Carol 🤗🤖🤗
Adorable words of adorable Lin Yen Chin! :)
@@dove4070 thank you perfect little sister 💖🤖💖

She remembered her sweetness
Turned off the TV
Put on a neat dress
And pretty was she
She started to rhyme,
And to sing and to play
And people who heard that
... did not run away
PS Smart and funny song, nicely sung :-)
They did not run away!!!!
Oh my
Thank you for your delightful rhyme Christian :)
@@dove4070 Gern geschehen :-)
Merry Christmas, cheers from Victoria BC, Canada.
Merry Christmas! :)
Have a good one over there in Canada :)

Cute.
Wrigglers in the figs!

@@dove4070 sup bruh
OMG, this song made me realize CO2 levels are higher because carbon copy sheets are not being used much anymore. 😱
SH IT!
Who's playing the guitar?
Me! 😁
Nice song dove 🙂 and also COTA why the hell did you delete the discord
I know Farkle!! What is one to do!
I miss you guys, and I'd been so busy lately I haven't had time to share pics of two palm trees lol.
(That's not my view anymore, happily.)

Dove when will you join Odysee?
Fantastic. I enjoy your accent. Vivid imagery there!
Her accent is beautiful and her voice is innocent and endearing, together; they form fine depth.
