The Park Bench At Christmas While sitting on a park bench after snow I watch how lamplight makes the landscape glow. As polar gales descend in crystal dreams When snowfall frosts the grove of evergreens, Icicles form on limbs of barren trees... An enchanting tableau of winter's freeze. December 1, 2018 The Park Bench At Christmas Contest Sponsor Sara Kendrick Picture # 4

Hi Connie, such a wonderful write of diamond clarity. Such beauty can be seen from a park bench as tiny diamonds do ascend. Your wonderful words do paint such a living canvas. How I would love to sit on this park bench in the midst of this scene. This is such a wonderful write Connie. Love the content. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Congratulations on your top placement in Brian’s Early December contest. We had six inches of snow this week. I have a bad cold so bummed as I am trying to get my Christmas cards out. Hugs, SuZ

Dear SuZ, Take care of your health...people will understand how it is when you are ill. I stayed healthy this year by miracle as my family all got the flu. I was almost down with the cold for Thanksgiving but avoided it by taking Oregano most of the night before. Take care and thank you my friend. Mele Kalikimaka! Blessings, Connie
