Hello Sweet One, How are you doing...Just passing through to say I was thinking of you and miss you...call me when you can...just a simple thought about the Seasons...
~*Seasons*~ I have walked in the rainbow of FALL colored leaves. The colors blending from one point of the color spectrum to another...which envelopes me in comfort...a colorful collage...
I walked into the cold of WINTER and warmed by the delight in the pure white decorations of unique designs floating around me...I look closely at a window that exposes and reflects the true beauty of these flakes...a intricate wonderment...
As I continue to walk, the fresh new changes of SPRING allows my soul to glow within...it mystifies my imagination with buds of new birth...excited to see what will come into bloom...a Love so strong and a clean newness that is energizing...a new beginning of life...
Completing my walk with the brightness of the SUMMER'S Sun beaming light as it encourages playtime in sandy waters of beaches and lakes...enjoying the beauty of Mother Natures Treasures...time for vacations to spend with family and friends...a time to make precious memories...
To start this cycle all over again...this time grab my hand...lets take the rest of our lives walking together through the seasons of our Friendship...
Hello Sweetie, Hoping you had a fun and memorable Holiday weekend...this a post for DJ Unwind and my son Levphonic...TY for allowing me to share...Blessings, Love and Light, Eva, ;-)

The man who wants a garden fair With flowers growing here and there You've got to dig from week to week To get Results or Roses. Have a great rest of rhe week fill with Roses XX~
Results and Roses
The man who wants a garden fair, Or small or very big, With flowers growing here and there, Must bend his back and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain. Whate'er we want of any worth We've got to work to gain.
It matters not what goal you seek Its secret here reposes: You've got to dig from week to week To get Results or Roses Poet: Edgar Guest
