Good morning Finest FRiends.

I am leaving for day VERY early today(wearing red of course! ) so posting the thread early . It is dreary & cold here in NE Ohio. We had snow a few days ago.. just snow showers but Yuk-city just the same.

. I really enjoyed Kentucky this week presented by Mama_bear & JustAmy. What a fun state that is... thank you again Ladies. Didn't get to JH2 until this morning.. as usual a great essay & so well presented by dutchess... thank you all for keeping the Finest door open.

We did NOT have a troll in 2nd post. It was me being blond & pinging the Finest list & forgetting to add the list.. groan. Time for coffee me thinks.

Hello to purple mountains maj if you are lurking! - we miss you & hope you are well.

We Remember



In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
