BUSY SUMMER

        It’s been a busy summer ….. we had a family reunion!  This was in Wisconsin, where most of my family is.   It was to have been the first time in over 10 years that all of us seven kids gathered … but, my sister from Texas could not get away from work.  That meant that I had to drive down there to bring our Mom up.

 Merry Christmas … April Fools!
   Earlier this past week … people were calling into TELEPHONE TIME … with the greeting “Merry Christmas

” .  Further north, they had nearly two feet of snow; one lady called in to say that a lot of her neighbors had signs on their lawns: “FREE SNOW“.

     Here’s how it looked before the big snow

Here’s some pix on AFTER

 

 

Now ..  after some torrential rain … most of the snow is gone again … & here’s what I found

 

 

LOOKS LIKE IT’S TIME TO TROT OUT MY POEM ON SPRING … ENTITLED

” THE SMILE OF SPRING”

 

The Sun in Spring is a smile

That warms the heart & soul.

It’s a PROMISE: in a short while,

We’ll not fear Winter’s threats!

 

GREEN grass & buds feed nature’s pets.

GREEN tips of tulips, daffodils, and more.

GREEN thumb: twitches and frets.

GREEN: the Victor’s colors; Winter is defeated!

 

GOLDEN Sunshine wraps us like a warm shawl.

Winter’s breath still can chill!

GOLDEN Sunshine washes the air-cleanses all.

Breathe deeply of the new freshness.

 

April Showers bring us flowers in May.

Winter is lovely, but, spring is a joy!

The Nature that was asleep tumbles out to play.

Welcome – SPRING – God’s Promise come true!
