It's interesting to see it done in a Chinese lantern formation. The "rock" was actually a stone cliff where I liked to sit. It faced east, so got the morning sun.<br />I envy your ability to sing, Amy. I remember the grade 6 music teacher getting so frustrated with me because I couldn't tell one note from another. When my slightly-younger brother was playing trumpet with Dad, I wanted to learn an instrument. Dad said, as nicely as he could, that he would teach me to listen.<br />K<br /><br /><br />Kay L.

It's 50 years old, but I can still remember climbing up the hill to that big rock, to sit there overlooking the valley and the lake.<br />KKay L.

Lots to think about.<br />Thank you, Lindy is a sweetheart indeed. She just lay down on her window seat and is pouting because her daddy has been gone several hours. Such a daddy's girl.

Your self-deprecating blog title and subtitle always make me laugh.<br /><br />The poem had an interesting form, like those old Chinese lanterns, you know? And the idea of a stone actually going through those seasonal changes, then warming by day and cooling at night, was inspired.<br /><br />You have a great marriage, an interesting blog... and a champion in Sherry. What I wouldn't give to be a "fly on the wall" when you two finally get together!!<br /><br />Kay, thanks for talking about how poetry made you stand out. For me, it was singing that gave me confidence; otherwise, I would have gone through those years unnoticed...<br /><br />Sherry, as always, a great job. Feel like I know Kay so much better... and Lindy, thanks for including that photo of a gorgeous dog who is always in our prayers.
