The Mountains

In the musty mountains crevices covered with overgrown foliage. Trees hang on the edges grasping the sheer rock of these aging towers that reach for the sky. The clear pristine waterfalls flow endlessly, cascading downwards Into the cool blue pools below. The water creates a rainbow within it's downward spiral. Sparkling water sprays sprinkling all that lies in it's path. As it flows the downhill slopes, it veers and runs to the canopy of forest below. The water along with it's cleansing rain are nature's refreshment.

all the way from desert heat the sun does have it's job. and with the clouds God does keep the snows and rain for a while. but when the time comes and the mountians need their beauty. all the clouds do their duty. and let live again snow, rain and dew. john

Phyllis, thanks for your many sweet comments tonight. Joe gave a two week notice to his company , the horrible guys who overwork him with no overtime pay, and because he refused to drive tired tonight, they said, "just go home and don't even wait to work one more day for us." So he walked in tonight unexpectedly and now I have to get off here. Finally I could get on (soup was off all day) and I can't even stay here. Crap. Pray for us that Joe finally finds a decent job. LUv ya, Andrea
