Merry Christmas World

Silent Witness

Starlight twinkling, observant of love

A man, a woman and the sky above

Starlight twinkling, brings hope for a child

An upturned face that’s sweet, gentle and mild

Starlight twinkling, long into the night

Dawns a morning washed in icy, silver light

Starlight twinkling, Earth's celestial mate

A silent sentinel witness to our fate

Seasons

Spring's warm smile is sweet and gentle

Smoothing away the harsh lines of winter

Deep flowing rivers and cool shallow streams

A cold earth awakens renewing its dream

Crisp clear mornings and warm sunny days

Brilliant afternoons that are sure to amaze

Heavenly scents of both field and bloom

Arise from winter's long slumber of gloom

Blistering hot breeze; sticky dense air

Summer's heated blast arrives without a care

Warm sullen mornings break free from the night

Lazy blue dragonflies arouse and take flight

Baked by the sun the day's end is near

Exploding thunder burst and lightning's spear

Flooding torrent surrenders to gurgling stream

Pleasing trickles play as the moonlight gleams

Autumn's chilly evenings are audaciously bold

Orange burnt leaves cringing in the cold

Like scarlet flames that light up the sky

Falling to the earth in a hushed, heavy sigh

Long stormy nights plunder the trees

Undressing their limbs with a mighty breeze

Crisp and cool the air settles in

The shadows of summer come to an end

Bubbling blue streams are frozen cold

Winter's icy bite has taken hold

Baring the fields; birds take flight

Soaring towards the sun into fading daylight

Endless twilight bitter and gray

As the yawning night takes the day

Earth frosted over until the spring

When flocks return upon sun-warmed wings

Iris

Hot Air Balloons

Up, up and away...

Spring has Arrived

Mother Nature says spring is here. The calendar may say not until next week, but I found this beautiful Crocus growing out back earlier this week. Warm weather is very much welcomed.

Chloe

This little lady is a new addition. 

We are calling her Chloe. A stray, we found outside, skinny and hungry. We took her home, fed her and she slept for a couple of days. She now seems to be bulking up a little. If we can only get our other pets to accept her. She is a very sweet, and ladylike little cat.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
