until Tomorrow when we have an encore.

  6. Funny you should mention the Grammar Nazi! As I read the acrostic, I was wondering if I'd get a smile out of you by saying something like "Hey, the 'S' in 'rays' shouldn't be capitalized, and neither should the 'U' in 'through'..." etc.

    Lovely shot, by the way. And a rhyming acrostic is always cool, too!

  9. @Pat:

    Grammar Nazi sez: Nahhhh, "pic" didn't bother me!

    "Arye," on the other hand...

  20. Hi Betsy,

    It must be so nice to have sunsets that look so beautiful all the time. We do not really have a lot of cloudy days out here in Sunny So.CA, so do not get those beautiful cloudy sunsets. We just have a different looking sunset.

    Thanks for sharing the beautiful picture.

    God bless.

  21. Your photo and poetry are the most beautiful combinations!

  22. Oh! I love your beautiful picture and your poem. I enjoyed scrolling down and catching up too. I don't know what to say about the dishrag, but I sure could imagine you locked outside in your nightgown. Those boys sure do keep you hopping, don't they?

    Have a wonderful 4th!

  27. Breathtaking... Love your acrostics too.

    My dearest, before we retired and he was preaching every Sunday, one of his favorite ways to get a sermon across, was using acrostics...I have many notes in my Bible of those acrostics.
