An Afternoon in the Park - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A walk trough Hampton Park in Charleston on a sunny afternoon in December 08, that's what we did yesterday, hubby and I, before we went to an excellent Birthday dinner.

Ducks were gathering around in the pond, looking for all kind of food

Hello, Mr. Duck... I like your hat today!

And there are still some pretty colored Maple leafs left on that tree

December roses and Dragon Snappers are still blooming. I think, they don't know about the word "winter" at all.

I wish to all my readers today :

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

and THANK YOU for all your visits and for all the nice comments you were writing to me on this blog and for your virtual friendship in 2008.

2009 will bring some BIG CHANGES for us - not just on the political platform, also for us, for David and me. There will be new and good and exciting things going on for us. I will tell you about later in a post. So, stay tuned and don't miss anything!

Have a great start into this coming new year,
welcome it with LOVE and PEACE!

Yellow like Sunshine...

Black eyed Susan

Twenty days walking so lonely and talking to myself and the rocks
And sand got me to thinking 'bout going and drinking in a tavern with a clean-shaven man

Just when i thought all souls had been bought by the devil here long ago
There did i see when i knelt to my knee i little texas flower grow

Black-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine
Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find

Well my newfound friend gave my heart a mend i sang her songs of my wayward ways
When day turned to night in the crystal moonlight i confirmed her unwavering gaze

As the days unraveled i stayed in the gravel and susan kept her eye on me
With my eye on her i felt my heart all astir with the joy of camaraderie

Black-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine
Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find
