Heat irritates us Lovers of things temperate Myself and alpine flowers So we feel in stem and bone Relief when rain cools mountains. We are getting a cool shower this morning, I feel better and so does my saxifrage...  Now I'll go out and play in the mud... Good day to all... |

ice, with the depth of your poetry and your replies, I just knew that you had more roots than a mere mortal man!  This tanka was delightfully refreshing and tickled the meadow saxifrage surrounding the hem of my vestments!  Have a joyous day cavorting in nature! Linda  |

Dog days come panting Autumn becomes tinged with paint This air is changing Somewhere a mountain's brisk air Would beg these feet to wander |

hey, mud pies are a fun treat on days like these, and when we hit 99 here yesterday, I felt I was going to melt from within |

Smiling at these comments, that are as beautiful as this day was..the mud dried by noon, not as much rain as I would have liked, but my saxifrage and I will take what we got and be thankful for its blessings. -----------ice/ford ><> |
