lazy afternoon
windchimes singing lullabyes
sunshine warms my face
as I bask in springtime's bliss
treasuring idle repose ~

Now here is my childhood! Here is my today, as a matter of fact - a warm sun to freckle my face, a favorite book upon which to travel, a loving dog to go with me...and windchimes to soothe my psyche...

did you write this just for me? No? Ah well, then, I must share...

Ahh Chris...this is perfect for today!
Just wish I could have sat outside in it longer
instead of running around here and there.
Hopefully it's the first of many many beautiful Spring days.
I can hear my windchimes too.

Chris, this is lovely and what a cute picture.

I have my door open right now and can hear my windchimes out on the patio.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

At last, I can almost taste the summer air, feel the river wash away my winter weary.

Ahhhh.
