Sleeping For the Winter

Green fields covered with snowy white Lulled to sleep for the winter season, Even though the sun is shining bright Green fields covered with snowy white, Sunbeams dance like the fairyland sprite Twirling about for no special reason, Green fields covered with snowy white Lulled to sleep for the winter season.

A chilly winter scene you paint with your words Milton, we've escaped so far but they're forecasting some for mid feb. Tom

Well, I hope your weather continues to be mild, Tom. We've had to blizzard condition snowstorms and expecting another one to hit on day after tomorrow. This one with ice, so I fear a power outage.

Oh man! I wanted to write these two lines! "Sunbeams dance like the fairyland sprite Twirling about for no special reason," Wow! Love it!

Caren, I really was thinking about you when I wrote those two lines. I swear.

Yes, they are, Kim. I've been playing around with them for a long, long time. Occasionally, I come up with one I like particularly.
