Year’s End

Year’s end,

all corners

of this floating world, swept.

    Indeed!

    Fabulous photo DK — Happy New Year to you and yours! One of my favourite sayings for this time of year is one I learned while at school in Germany – “guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr” – the loose translation is … ‘have a good slide into the New Year’ ❤

    Happy and Healthy New Year, Dave. Keep’em coming.
    Love the prose, and befuddled by the pic in this post. A bit deep for my modest mind
