Cassie, this was so fine, practically divine. Gulls say mine, and so do greedy extraction economy sheeps, but Imma tell you this one just leaps.

That was wonderful!!! I felt the love and deep passion. Same but I could never put it into loving words like you just did. Do you remember when your great grandma became part of my compost soil at our old house? That was a moment for me. Still is. I know she added more than richness to the soil. Each year the sun would hit one of her crystals in our backyard just right and the light would just radiate from it. I am sure she had something to do with that. It was hard to leave her behind when we moved but her crystals are came with me. What a woman.
