- End Of Summer -


      ask the drowned roses
      optimism was at its peak ~
      rain, rain and more rain
      fall with natural beauty
      embroidered with mouliné yarn

Shame you had a bad summer Anne-Lise, seems we had your sunshine and you had our rain. Roll on autumn, I'm not built for extreme heat. Good luck in the contest. Tom🌹
