It's as beautiful as I remember, and you're very welcome. Note my new icon, trotted out for the occasion.

The very ways where now we walk apart
Who then shall cling so near.

Beautiful icon. Ah, yes, the change of season is always somewhat odd to me.

::grins:: Thank you, with credit to Az. Seasonal changes can certainly be times of adjustment. I imagine you're still getting used to the Florida version. Is it more or less odd than what you knew before?

Beautiful icon... and beautiful poem. *sniffle*
