The carousel has turned
Full circle once more
The scenery has changed
The flowers now rearranged
Some petals have scattered
Lost carelessly in the wind
But here is another season
To sow and harvest again
Like fine wine, it was a very good year
But the very best, can cost you dear
So I’m searching new favorite blends
Need to catch up on the latest trends
Time has come to recant and decant
So I raise my glass to another great year
I can smell the fresh fragrance in the air
I feel the breeze as it blows through my hair
And if I should stumble in the midst of it all
I believe that you’ll be there to break my fall
I love the carousel’s which you describe so well. A song says, “to everything (turn, turn, turn) there is a season (turn, turn, turn). And a time to every purpose, under Heaven….

Well someone used that word, carousel, recently to help describe my state of mind and it fitted in with my reflection for today. But I’m glad you picked out this song. I posted it earlier this year. Here you go! https://chevvy8.com/2016/01/18/from-my-songbook/

Does it snow where you’re from?

I’m from South Africa. There is occasional snow in the interior – on the Drakensberg Mountains. When that happens, lots of people flock there which gives you an indication of how foreign snow is for most people. Generally, we have great sunshine weather for most of the year in most parts of the country.😀

Thanks my dear Sis. Birthdays are a good time for taking stock and next year this time, I hope to produce a good report card of the year that would have been. I’ll probably pop in on Sunday for my regular feature. Strawberry moon huh? Well may your intentions materialise!
