The Seasons: A Poem

Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

...it goes great with beer!

Pope Saint Pius X - Beppo

St. Michael the Archangel (never knew he was a Buckeye Fan)

Saint Peter - notice the keys on the belt.

Saint Francis? He did love the animals...

Your husband (or you) just sent me an email about my recent rosary order. This link was enclosed at the bottom of the email so I thought I'd stop by. I'm in the middle of dinner prep, but I'll be back later to look around. Your children are beautiful and I am so interested in the corn recipe.
