+*+*+*+*+

Delicate filigrees of denuded trees,
Limned by the light of wintry skies,
Delight the eyes of beholder.

Intricate strokes with indigo hues,
Paint the steel-gray firmament
As cool rays of sun peak through.

+*+*+*+*+

EA,
I have a brief story for you...
This morning I was watching our local PBS station to a woman extolling the virtues of positive thinking...and you popped to my mind.  She said optimists live 7 years longer than those who live with a negative mindset...so, I said to myself..."Self, you better go read Linda pronto and get some "positivity" going!"

Thanks for making the world so beautiful!

Patricia

(smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is soooooooo beautiful, I love wintry skies as they have such a gentle mystery to them, just as long as I get the occasional sunshine within! (kiss on cheek) Yay, this is sparkling, hehehe, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I am sending a nice, cosy, & very warm Hudson's Bay blanket to take out that chill that is causing you to shiver!

I am pleased that you enjoyed this wintry scene!

Have a great day!

Patricia ~

My goodness, Patricia! That is one of the most gratifying replies that I have ever received! It has been saved to my pick-me-up file where I store very special replies. Whenever my happy meter begins to plummet, I read those lovely poems and replies that my dear Pip friends have written for me!

Thank you! Have a glorious day!

Lovin' hugs,

Like you, I enjoy all kinds of weather. But I must admit, that my energy really gets zapped by exceptionally hot, humid days.

Get outside and recharge your angel batteries!
