  (smiles) YAY!!! Oh my gosh, I have never been to this wondrous state before but I have seen covered bridges like these in Illinois everywhere, they are so breathtakingly beautiful and Kaskaskia is one of my favorites! (kiss on cheek) This is a magical depiction of a breathtaking state, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Thanks so much, Lady in White... I grew up in NYC, and whenever we drove back home to visit, my favorite part of the trip was always through Pennsylvania... its a gorgeous state. Last summer we drove back east for Victor's wedding and thats when I wrote this poem.  ~ tourist hugsLyra |

Thanks Donna, I got that picture off of Webshots and I can't remember now, whether it mentioned Pennsylvania or not. There are lots of states that have covered bridges. I know that Vermont and Massachusetts have them and I think that New Hampshire has some also. But I'm glad you enjoyed the poem... Pennsylvania is such a beautiful state.  ~ hugs from MichiganLyra |

Thanks so much, Martie... Pennsylvania is a beautiful state but it isn't my home state. I live in Michigan which is also a beautiful state.  ~ Michigan hugsLyra |

This poem, so beautifully written, reminds me so much of my home state, New Hampshire. So many covered bridges, 'mountains high and pastures green! Western MA is like this also. How are you feeling?

Thanks Marti... It sounds like you come from a beautiful state and I know that you live in one right now. My sister in law used to live in Vermont and I remember seeing the covered bridges there also. I am feeling okay except for a bladder infection, which...ironically, might end up killing the cancer cells.... thats the principle of how the vaccines work.. Its a bit frustrating, waiting to find out the information about the requirements for the clinical trial...I intend to get into that trial even if I have to lie my way into it.  ~ hugs from MichiganLyra |
