You're so very welcome, Deb. We are flowers who sometimes need a little TLC to keep us blooming.

Lin, a great monoku, they sadly mock others from jealousy and for negative attention!

I am in complete agreement, Tania. I wonder if they migrate somewhere else for the summer. Thanks for being such a wonderful friend.

That is so true Lin, and we know who sings more beautifully. Tom

A voice that whispers graciously and gratefully is heard over one that screeches like an owl and wails like a banshee. Thank you ever so much, Tom.

Ain’t that the truth Lin, a sad situation that goes on quite a bit, if they cannot equal you, they try disparaging, but in the end most people will make up their own mind, who the real soprano is, another excellent Monoku with real meaning, cheers David

Thank you, David. Unfortunately, they tweet out of tune. I sang in choir for years, but never loud enough for my voice to usurp those who carried the melody far better.

Seems to be an abundance of them. Great monoku, Lin!

Good morning, Danny. Thank you for your return, even if long enough to share your thoughts. Missing you here.
