When we see the sun in the morning, it truly does paint the day!

Hello Gershon … when the weather is dreary for some time we become dreary too. I can recall a time when it hadn't rained for three months, and when it finally did, standing in it with a great sense of relief - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

A beautiful sky with its many colors. Many do not look up and miss it. What a gift it is to us. Enjoy your day........

Seems I am not the only one who witnesses beautiful sunrises from time to time, but you express it so much more beautifully than I ever could. Loved this one my friend.

What you wrote about me is precisely how I feel about you and your poems. We must be trapped in a House of Mirrors! Cheers, Chris! :) Gershon

Chicago gets to see our old friend tomorrow morning and then it's back to cloud cover, I'm told. Here's to better luck for PA. Cheers, Gershon
