Our card table in the nook is warmed by the sun and wood of the bright light of a February day in winter. My cousin Tom rescued this old cherry table at least 25 years ago and restored it to its present beauty. It began its second life as a card table in my parents' living room. That tradition continues with cribbage, canasta, and Russian Bank mornings after breakfast. Retirement is a tough life.
Through the window I see the snow, but inside it looks warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteSILLY SHADOW DITTY
Shadows may or may not be
Patterns of urbanity.
If a shadow threatens you,
Here, my dear, is what to do:
Grab the shadow by the throat,
Toss it to a billy goat,
So the goat can chomp and chew,
Keeping it away from you!
