+*+*+*+ While leaning against the old oak tree, this early autumn day, a single leaf came twirling down, and softly came to lay by my feet on earthy loam, with acorns scattered 'round, I slowly slid down side of tree, and sat down on the ground. My eyes looked up in to the blue, of skies so clear and bright. With air so fresh, and trees ablaze, my world seemed so right. +*+*+*+ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (10-10-2003 02:56 PM).] |

LINDA!!!! CONGRADULATIONS!!!!! 14,000 posts, You go girl!!! AHHHEEEMMMM (just clearing my throat) here's a little ditty from about 25 years ago. Here I sat gently swaying Here I sat Peacefully playing when I nodded off to sleep, and let out just a little peep. I said,"Blow wind blow, Blow wind blow." So the wind did blow, It blew and blew and blew with glee Until it blew me right out of my tree. Then I woke up And the wind settled down, And I settled myself, To > > The > > Ground. now ya know how that leaf got to be at your feet....LOL Great 14,000th post, Linda! Love, Light and Peace, Sherry |

Linda, I'm not beleiving that I almost missed this post!!! I looked for your 14,000th post so that I could congratulate you back in Announcements...and did, even though Noah beat me to the first post. LOL How I didn't see this one, or reply to it is beyond me. I'm sorry, sweet lady. You know that you are one of my favorite people not only on Passions...but everywhere!! You are a very special and loving person, Linda Lou...an Angel, for sure. I love you, sweet friend. Heart hugs to you Ethel |
