Jewish Arbor Day

The holiday has arrived The cheery festival of Tu'Beshvat Concern for nature's gifts lives on amongst the Jewish people I recall an old cherry tree behind my home I was saddened when they finally cut it down The gifts of nature should not be regarded lightly Le us rejoice and feast on dried fruits, almonds and figs We will enjoy this Jewish Arbor day Shalom, yes shalom at this joyous time in the Jewish year Let's hope the world understands the nature of this holiday we should all pause for a moment to take joy in nature's bountiful banquet

this is a lovely tribute to that holiday, Matt. As for First Love, that was just me writing fiction again. As for my fave music, rock n roll and pop music. not soft rock especially and definitely not hard rock. Just the stuff on the radio with cool beat and groovy tunes!!
