    Hi!
    “Is the spring coming? ” he said. “What is it like?”
    “It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…”

    Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

    Hi!

    “Love the sunshine of the meadow,
    Love the shadow of the forest,
    Love the wind among the branches,
    And the rain-shower and the snow-storm,
    And the rushing of great rivers.”

    The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  4. Tania says:

    Tania

    Love the smile on your face
    Love the softness of your voice
    Love the nights of Winter together
    Love the touch of your fingers on my skin
    Love the noise of your breath sleeping
    Love the sound of your heart against mine.

    Thanks Tania, may be you inspire me with
    your kind words.

    Here it is windy, and it i raining too. I don´t like windy days so I can´t live in
    the Windy City of Chicago.

    Thanks Jeff, I could remember your Café
    about the city.
