Smile, yes we'll pull up some more covers as the cold progresses. Beautiful Carolyn, by the way I love Chocolate, especally Chocolate alligators and the beautiful star where God's precept first slept. Little did the world know from whence they had fallen. I enjoy my electric blanket these days as winter becomes a fact. Congrats on your worthy win. Agape, Moses

Carolyn yours is so good! LOL about hibernate-I didn't even look it up-I just assumed it was a 'season' word so threw it in there! Yours is so vivid-great description. It was nice to hear your late husband won on Jeopardy! You are into the smart men, huh? I was always into the dumb jocks-LOL! Love, Natalie

btw...i wrote a lil ditty for your contest..does lines 1-2 & 5 have to have exactly the same syllable count? In my limerick, first line has 10 syllables, second line has 10 syllables, 5th line has 9 syllables...how have I come so far to be so far away? ...The 5th line has to have 10 syllables too? ( I am crying.......awwww. Tell me I am wrong). :)

Hey Carolyn....we were BOTH looking towards the sky...great minds do think alike...I don't write about bears tho....scared to death of them...love the rehearsal of your nighttime light show as the bear tucks in for the winter.....i am still trying to find out my seasonal word....looking at a list of seasonal words seems like cheating to me but I know absolutely nothing of this thing Charles calls haiku....lol. Love, Gwendolen
