A beautiful crystalline, Sara, you picture what I have heard many times from my neighbor's big oak in the wind. A few weeks ago, I got caught in a rainstorm while walking and called my husband to come get me. I took shelter under a huge oak tree and scarcely got wet at all. Gorgeous pictur e.

Love how you made it a cotillion!!! I was wondering why it was about a ball and not oak trees when I saw you did a crystalline and now I see it was symbolic!

Nice lines Sara.. In Re: to your Com to kissed by life itself. I had to leave a message for my true that professed his truth in love in front of our circle here at the soup. Only to leave then as to not to disrespect me with innuendos with the other lady writers, you know him as our dear John Rhinem :) Eight years Sara! Wow... Take care, if you want to see some of my stuff that hits the magazine you may want to read, The Day Light, or perhaps he and I's 7 year anniversary, he wrote me 1 too. :(
