Gathering pretty seashells, and watching the seagulls soar.

To the left were lofty mountains, touching the azure skies,
To the right, sparkling ocean, and ahead the butterflies!

Have you seen a Rockwell 1950's Lemonade Wars?

Dreaming of a day when life addresses me much deeper
Found within in a headline...

Over long lush dark green grasses, whipping your knees, soft spongy turf springs each new step,

A lovely day that brought for series of endearing moments -

From the boat ride on the sea shore to the horizon of wide blue-green ocean
His eyes wander- like a fisherman’s hope-
Waiting, counting, and watching in...

With a neck sooooooo long, that’s where the raffe bit was.

She didn't like...

Winds, swirling capriciously from...

Judy tucks into her healthy breakfast

Her mother smiles. Outside the sun shines bright.

The songs of the birds,
The show of flowers.
 
Turn to...

From the crack of dawn with sunny skies or gray
With each thought that passes into light
Of matter gray, each breath...
