And I see beautiful mountains in the background (NEVER see them in The Netherlands...LOL). Closer is a stand of poplars, shimmering in the setting sun's light.
Closer still, on my patio fence, sits a morning dove, waiting for it's mate.
At my bird feeders sit finches of every color and size, fighting over the seeds.

And closer still, I see all of you, in my heart!!!!

Sleep well tonight, dear sisters....I'll take the first watch!!!

Hugs, Kathi
