It's a Sunny Happy Day here </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">at the Cabin ...
Thank You God the rain has </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">finally stopped.
I</span><span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">t was
making</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">me a little
crazy .... too many days </span><span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">in a row. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">It's been chilly
early mornings</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">and late
evenings, so the wood stove has still</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">been in use ....
I am tried of working it. :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">I'd like to
clean it up, </span><span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">blacken
it, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">and decorate my
hearth for </span><span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">the
season. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">It has
felt more like Fall was coming</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">instead of
Spring & Summer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">My Lilacs are
right outside my</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">bedroom window,
and I never got </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">to smell them
once through the open window</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">just too darn chilly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">I will try to
remember how I feel now</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #441415; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">and not Crab
