All windows open a summer's day...breeze ruffling paper as you write away...Good vibes here...

What a gem, Charles! It's nice to know that you enjoy growing flowers and playing your fiddle. I can just imagine how well it's adorned with paintings of the cyclamen. Of the "hobbies" poems I've read, this is the best. Winning wishes for the contest, Charlie! Hugs, Carolyn
