Hi Cynthia and you other Floridians that have to live with the weather.

I think that I know how you feel about weaterfronts, because it is a natural part of my primary job, as a thatcher, to be aware of the winds and the rain.

Whenever there is a hurricane brewing in the Atlantic I know that it will touch America somewhere, and thereafter turn right, and hurry on to the coast of Denmark.

Normally it shows up as a well used, second hand autumn storm. But now and then it is still a genuine hurricane, that rip off my tarpaulins and do all kind of tricks to entertain.

So my request, to you in the front line, would be to plant some more Palm Trees, as they seems to be the ones that stand.

This, of cause, is not a serious suggestion, but just a way to say that we have something else, than paint, in common.

Allan

Actually I heard Cynthia has that meaning in ancient Greek and most Greeks I've known don't even know it.

Mitchele:
Yes, it is rejoicing with harvest and family reunion.

Wind, flowers, snow and moon are the group subject matters of ancient Chinese literature. This may inspire our painting.

Li Bai
DRINKING ALONE WITH THE MOON

From a pot of wine among the flowers
I drank alone. There was no one with me --
Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon
To bring me my shadow and make us three.
Alas, the moon was unable to drink
And my shadow tagged me vacantly;
But still for a while I had these friends
To cheer me through the end of spring....
I sang. The moon encouraged me.
I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
As long as I knew, we were boon companions.
And then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
...Shall goodwill ever be secure?
I watch the long road of the River of Stars.
