love the imagery in this one...i can see it, guess those weeds in the sidewalk cracks don't stand a chance now... we got a small taste of this today, not a fan, winter can forget to come and autumn can crawl back under its rock...i'll take spring and summer... :) hugs

Crawl back under your rock, Autumn! You think that might work?! Maybe I should an imprecation or two? LOL. Thanks, Sandy! :) gw

Butter my role debuts as an album by Gershon Wolf on the 33rd of Never. Oh, well. Thanks for the thought, RT. Cheers, Gershon
