This aging process is awful but it sure does beat the alternative! Time flies, the seasons have passed, and so do our lives. The four pictures of the Maple behind our house in Connecticut were taken in 1967. The set of Doulton Lambeth Stoneware Plaques depicting the “Four Seasons” were made by George Tinworth in 1876.

Seasons of My Mind

                            A favored Time of Year is Spring,
                            With Trees in Bud and Birds on Wing;
                            Or is it when the Flowers bring,
                            The warmth of Sun; a Summer’s Fling,
                            For Lovers; Youth is Everything!

                            Perhaps the cool, hued Leaves of Fall,
                            My Winter’s now, Life's Evenfall;
                            This Aging Process casts its Pall,
                            As Mem’ry fades, I can’t recall,
                            That favored Time of Year at all!
