For All We Ring Out The Old, Ring In The New

The Foxes Waiting By The Old Holly Tree

This Perfect New Year Now Starts For Me And You

The Green Of The Holly, Red Of The Berries

New Life We See Through The Door Of New Year

There Is Such Beautiful Earthly Magic Here

And Winter Spirits Are Preparing For Spring

In The Night Sky The Stars Are Shining So Clear

  • It's always interesting & I appreciate you sharing with us, Mike.

  • Smiling... I enjoyed reading this. I had never heard "Nick Caves meets Dr. Seuss." It seems many are enjoying your blogs, though the money will not have you "laughing all the way to the bank" so to speak. Thank you for putting a smile on my face! ๐Ÿ‘
