Cheryl!
says fill your joy tank
Cheryl!
I need a second tank!
x2
your joy is multiplying out of control
So much love we need another tank, another tank to hold
all the love you pour and fill to the top
always topping off the tank, your joy is non stop
Mistress of joy, we have you to thank
Filling the farm, overflowing our joy tanks
BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH
Goes out of her way to make my day
Smiling now and all the way
She’s counting her days, counting her days
to a new life!
blinky, flashy, strobes, runner, running, streaming, hanging, draping
lights: white, night, fight, bite, invites, delights, tights, bright, slice, advice, likes, pipes, stripes, dislikes, wipes, LIFE, guides, besides, decided, hides, RIDES, inside, OUTSIDE, divides, in spite,
mower, mow hoe wrangler, head of the mow hoes, Queen of the mower, Queen of the tractor
kitchen witch,
always busy, always moving, always clean as you go
supportive, supports other people, lifts them up, donates to the cause
She’s a farmer, but a farmer of lights, light farmer
Farmer of lights
Cheryl is a farmer of lights. She carefully sprouts them up every spring, and then tends to them all summer ensuring they have a long and lustrous life. She feeds them lithium so they continue to shine strong, just like her own personality. It’s a labor of love so we can all enjoy the electrochemical cells of love flowing through the wires. Her garden is varied, with many different varieties of lights, from swooping drapes to disco balls and don’t forget the tea lights. Of all the lights she has manifested, they all dim in comparison as the bright light of her soul & personality shines outward with an uncountable amount of lumens. Her love for others shines brighter than all the collective light rays put together, and you feel it when those light rays shine upon you. (Sandy’s personal accounts: offered primo Sweetwater campsite, gave me a solar light for my garden, welcomes me to Harmony Farm anytime, lends anything from the kitchen in a jiffy, makes coffee for the masses, made sure to invite ‘my’ band GJR to party, lets me ride her tractor 🙂

FROM JAMIE: Mistress of Joy – always concerned about the happiness of those around her.
FROM SLOAN: The MOW HO!
Taking care of all of us, when we are there and not, Cheryl is one the most sensible, funny, crazy, and most genuinely loving people I have ever met. She said the magic words, “You guys need to put up a mailbox ” That gave us true heart family. There just aren’t enough words for her, so much more than any one thing.
Cheryl is always talking about the importance of “filling your joy tank“.

grow, row, hello, glow tow,
Captain of the mow ho’s,
but look at the chorus, it’s about having so much love and joy that 1 tank just ain’t enough, we gotta have 2 tanks. Because we’re overflowing with joy, because when a person like Cheryl is so abundantly happy and exuding happiness it’s so contagious to be around her that the joy starts multiplying out of control. We can control the amount of joy that swirls around us, we try to capture it and cap it, harness it, can you catch it? Can you not catch it? Fill to the top, overfull, bursting, spilling over, running over, crammed full, jammed, teeming, swarming, inundate, deluge, abounding, ample, bountiful, copious, crawling with, plenty, profuse, rich, rolling in, sufficient,
