Whistle While You Work

when
when
I first 
stared at this
woman rocking
I wanted to start whistling

Hello my sister, this is so natural. I can see the imagery quite clearly. This reminds me of my grandmother. She was always rocking and whistling while sewing. Great job and thanks for the wonderful blog comment on my book. God bless and take care of my little niece. ~Joseph
