Yes...we are a little crazy. :-)<br /><br />Do you already have some snow? My mother also has flurries in Ohio. <br /><br />Are you still using GoodReads?

And it is nice to have rhyme!<br />We did a musical play of H. in elementary school, and how I'd love to have that sheet music now. The tunes were so beautiful. I plan to reread it and hopefully write about it here sometime in the near future.<br />I like your word 'tender.' It is perfect.<br />Sorry about your weather. Wasn't this the strain of summer too - lots of rain. Next spring should be especially green.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-26709554162760174332012-11-25T10:37:36.951-05:002012-11-25T10:37:36.951-05:00This poem suits my mood today.

Poignant too, 'The troubled sky reveals, the grief it feels', very tender lines.<br />CaroleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
