I shall be more relaxed and get on with my painting. I shall remember this date ! Here, we have loads of sunshine. The baby pidgeon is growing very fast !And very chubby !!!!

Well done gm!
Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.

Beginning of my story "Almost forgotten"....
"Hush, little one, hush....said my mother softly. My sobbing was tearing at her heart. " She is an Angel now. She is peacefully a sleep..." Standing with great effort on my toes, I wanted to see my loved playmate. A huge glass screen partition was separating me from the small white coffin, where Bruna laid in a soft bed of spring flowers. She was four years old. The diphtheria epidemic that year, was very busy gathering small children, in bunches, as if they were flowers from the fields, after the Winter snow. It was an early Easter. I was five years old. My name is Rita.

I still see myself stretching up on my toes and I still feel the pain.  gmx

...and the raising morning sun, caused the slender siver birches, to cast a soft shadow across the new spring grass, that was covered in dew, and sparkled as if in the night it had been sprinkled by stardust.... 8) These are bits from my story.....This is how I tend to write to describe what I see...a kind of poetical prose..... 8) I am always all "soaked" up by music and poetry and watercolours....and everything beautiful.....Some paintings in the museums in Scotland , done by scott ? artists are incredibly moving. One is : The last furrow..." Two horses standing still in a field at the end of a furrow...and the farm worker dead, laying across one of them.... It always makes me cry.... :'( gmx
