The Tapestry of Life

ANNOUNCMENT!!!

I know this is kinda last minute ... working 10-14 hour days makes me loose track of time. I had planned on posting this early in the week, but I'm sure you'll forgive me.

Tomorrow is an Anniversary, of sorts, that I will be celebrating. Well, not really celebrating with hoopla or a party... more ... a quiet observation. I will have a post up about this Anniversary, hopefully, tomorrow.

I will also be having a Giveaway associated with this Anniversary. Today I went "looking" for just the right item to give away...of course... nothing jumped out and said "PICK ME, pick me." So I am still looking.

Over the week-end you will have the opportunity to read and comment on my post. From those comments, I will choose the winner of the Giveaway. Hopefully, Monday evening the winner and Giveaway item will be posted.
So, come on back, read and leave a comment. See ya soon!!

THE HALF MOON SHOWS
A FACE OF PLAINTIVE SWEETNESS

The half moon shows a face of plaintive sweetness
    Ready and poised to wax or wane;
A fire of pale desire in incompleteness,
    Tending to pleasure or to pain:-
Lo, while we gaze she rolleth on in fleetness
    To perfect loss or perfect gain.
Half bitterness we know, we know half sweetness;
    This world is all on wax, on wane:
When shall completeness round time's incompleteness,
    Fulfilling joy, fulfilling pain?-
Lo, while we ask, life rolleth on in fleetness
    To finished loss or finished gain.
By Christina Rossetti

Moon

the moon the moon
shining brightly in a pool of water
the moon the moon
glistening so brightly on the ground
the moon the moon
like a white shining marble floating in the sky
the moon the moon
what would we do without the moon

Day 4~ 30 Day Challenge

Day 4~
A picture of your favorite night
I'm not really sure that I have a favorite "night" picture, but I have a favorite thing I like to do at night when I'm at my favorite place.

This is my daughter and one of her best friends walking the beach at sunset.

If I lived near a beach, I would do thing every night
