Sunny Islands of Greece

Winter’s chill pierces my frail heart My shallow breath could cease, Ere spring arrives, I may depart For the sunny islands of Greece. Beautiful Kythira Cenozoic era Lovely riviera I dream of the Aegean Sea, Winter’s chill so depresses me. [Quietus] written February 4, 2022

Me, too. Only three more days before I head south. I'm excited about my trip. I have so much to get done before my leave. I'm working on income tax right now...want it out of the way so I don't have that worry on my mind.

Great! I'm ready to buy a ticket right now, as winter gets to me too... Never thought of the sunny isles of Greece... thought Kentucky might be far south enough ... lol... Guess not... And away we go!

Nope, not Kentucky. It's cold as a proverbial witches brass " " in January here. Lots of snow. Which means I'm leaving for Florida in a few days!
