First I will comment on your comment to my Edge walker, it was a real encouraging comment. I know i love messing with my poetry, I just felt as if i had to write the edge walker. Thank you for the notice. You are a spirit lifter here on the soup, no wonder why many consider you a favorite. Take care,..Sidney LeeAnn

There are times when a good rain is most welcome and you added a spiritual quality in the second line that works nicely, Carrie. Good luck in Rick's contest. Love, Carolyn
