A scattering of snow lay ‘round about,
As I opened my shutters this ‘morn.
Golden rays of the rising sun,
Gave promise as day was born.

The dawning light, of morning bright,
Its splendor made me sigh.
~ A world of sparkling diamonds,
Reflecting to early sky.

(smiles) Yay! Awwwwww, your smile spins like a mirrorball and casts so many sunbeams and stars throughout these robin egg blue pages, sweet friend, I believe it is God's smile that shines through the blinds each morning telling us, "Get up, sleepy head, there's much to sow and rewards to reap!" (big angel hugs) Yay, I love this, 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

Now I know why they refer to diamonds as "ice".   Your perception is ... as always ... a treat to read as is the way you present them.  Well done.

Linda...The beautiful picture painted with your words does indeed make me long for the snow, but here down south we haven't even had fall yet. Enjoyed...Paul
