A break from Christmas chores out on the porch that I adore birds twittering in twilight soft grey and purple hues rain just misty no more pour nightshades covering daystar oh life! how wonderful you are to provide such varied scenes if only thankful eyes are keen another tableau appears soon birds gone to nest no more tune with the clearing a silver moon for nocturnal chorus to croon sky filled with diamonds bright against black and indigo of night streetlights pierce what is hidden darkness brings on the forbidden time to do those evening things to be content with how it sings how can one ever say they're bored with the beauty that nature affords now I have Anisette cookies to bake the ones my friends ask me to make so into the kitchen with a flurry a happy holiday to all, sans the worry
Anisette cookies, yummy, my Nana (Sicilian grandmother) made these, it brought tears a bit to my eyes, missing her a little..Thank you for the memory of her Anisette cookies and your poem is just so beautiful..
Peace, love, and light,

Oh how I adore the ocean, your photograph is so very picturesque! Hmmmm the frangrance from Anisette cookies spreads throughout the entire house, delicious! A nice way to close out the day, works for me....
Eileen, I love anisette cookies too, they are my favorites. I loved the beauty in this writing...it was full of God's beauty and your voice spoke your words in a homey, enjoying way...I could all but hear the twittering of the birds as the mist hit my face. This truly lights up the evening.
We all need breaks, now & then, from life's chores. A fresh breath of nature and an exhale of gratitude always helps to bring things back into perspective.
May this Season of Light bless your heart,

Timely poetical verse of sharing the world of Eilleen with the rest of us . . . After reading one of your poems I feel warm and fuzzy, contrary to my contrary nature . . . LOL
An excellent write you share with us, now if I could step out on our front porch, oh I can't because there is four foot of snow out there. Thank you for sharing Eileen and I sure hope you have a wonderful christmas and I wish you the best in the New Year.
Eileen,
Excellent imagery. This is so picture perfect. Sometimes we fail to see what life is really all about. Peace, Love and Blessings to You during this Holiday Season and Always, Paul.

Such gratitude indeed.
I guess here it's scones rather than cookies that get baked/cooked...
Be safe,

A mystery to me, yet so many never even notice nature's many gifts. And Anisette cookies - Yummy!!
