Oh, I love the consonance and assonance (we can take our pick) in the end: 'birds trill in trees'. Now I will be quiet and enjoy the poem and the picture. Have a nice Sunday, Constance. :)

Jack, nice to see you on the soup, its been awhile and thank you for the compliment. Oh yes, our Canadian mail is really terrible, I am sure the postcards are lost, its been quite a long time since you mailed them. Hope eveything is ok with your mom.
