Season of Flowers

Bare trees and warm rains,

before trees cast leafy shade…

the mountainsides bloom.

  I think the change of seasons in Virginia is beautiful, but I have lived away from it in Florida for twenty-five years. I can’t say i miss the ice and snow! Thank you, Mazhar, for your kind comment. Cheryl

  Yes, Florida is one of the worst states, We are fine and trying to be careful. I have read some pretty scary statistics about Australia, too. Be safe. Cheryl

    Melbourne and Sydney are hardly the entire country, I live more than 8 hours away so I consider that a reasonably healthy distance 🙂
