    You are very clever Miss Betsy! That little acorn has so much potential and I always need to be reminded of that. Great post.

    We were just talking about oak trees and acorns on the way to church tonight!

    Another word to look up...embarcation.

    "Large streams from little fountains flow" Now if only I had read that before I set out on my adventure. Happy TT Betsy.

    This is so much fun; I enjoy how all of you have your own version of the theme "Beginning".
    I love them all, yours is no exception.;)

    Lovely with spring spronging over here at the moment, I almost did something similar but for lack of time. From little acorns mighty oak trees grow alright. I think that every time I look at my son!

    Hmmmm... I wonder if Bob Dylan was reading that bit from Lewis Carroll before he wrote "My Back Pages"? "Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

    Great take on the theme!
