Sleep Not While Sun Shines

Make hays while sun shines
Do not rest, sleep or slumber
…When the day beckons.

Oops, looks like you had a very successful contest with some awesome entries. Congrats to all the winners! Sorry mine didn't get done on time, Adeleke. I was going to write about Ladysmith Black Mambazo, a South African musical group that has won many awards and spread goodwill among nations. Perhaps I'll write it anyway. Love, CD

People who sleep in miss the best part of the day, cool, crisp mornings and beautiful sunrises. Can't help but laugh though -- my mother vacuumed every day (even weekends) at 6 a.m. Try sleeping through that! very good entry for John's contest, Adeleke. Wishing you success. Still working on a poem for your contest. Did the research, but haven't had a chance to write it yet. Hope I don't miss the deadline. Love, Carolyn
