Deceptive Sunshine

Sunshine's like warmth, an inviting glow No jacket today let's play, let's go!! Retreat, retreat it's cold! Child looking outside bold Coolness and shivers hear the wind blow. Cocoa and warm fuzzes so much fun The deceptive glow of the bright sun Had an ill pill effect On mom's total affect No alone time today--it is done! For John Moses Freeman's double limerick contest and all the mom's that have been stuck inside with energetic children on bad weather days.

we have that deceptive sunshine going on here as well, beautiful and sunny out ( not too cold) but a nip in the air that lets us know winter is close, good luck in the contest
