Between Todayβs Isobars

Silently the bell rings
Quietly the birds sing
Secretly I hear the forest hum
Discretely I count up the sum
The number of stars
Between todayβs isobars
And out beyond Mars

Oh, that is great! You will love it! Ruth’s folks lived in Edmonton until they passed a few years ago. It is a lovely City. Your trip through the mountains is breathtaking! We have been there a few times with her parents. Take lots of photos. Have a wonderful time!
