December 27home,bluebonnet swamp,bird nest

I am thankful for home. I suppose I am an old homebody. I love being at home with family, relaxing, working on my computer, having the old familiar things around me, and sleeping in my own bed. I certainly agree that "there's no place like home."

This is a bird nest I saw at the Bluebonnet Swamp in Baton Rouge. I thought it signifies home and represents home in its most basic aspect.

home

if home is truly where the heart is

why do we wander and pull up roots

why do we always look for the greener grass

and always put on those walking boots

dorothy once said in a magical place

that there was no place like home

she had seen adventure and mystery

but wanted no more to roam.

she had finally learned the lesson

that took going to oz to find

that home was where your loved ones are

the everlasting tie that binds.
