Blessing the Carrots and Persimmons

"Hi Ruth, I miss you! It's been weeks and weeks, nope, better make that months and months . . . Dianne and I walk past your house about 9:am on our Tuesday morning walks through the park before heading for St Johns Coffee and the women who meet there on Tuesday mornings. We love your poetry post! Who is Leanna McClellan? Google didn't help. What are you up to these days? Want to join us?
Love, Marilyn"
