There be tales of old telling of young men, and young women too, going off to seek their fortunes, perhaps with a song, a fore tune, when they imagined gold and other riches. But after many miles and many years, if they are wise, they find more fortune in friendship, and honor, love, and finally peace. Gold is fine. Gold is good to have if used wisely, but it is not the most important thing, we learn in time. We gather a fortune in experience, knowledge and hopefully wisdom.
There’s a song my daughter taught me years ago when we travelled together. Now, I sing it to my granddaughter as a lullaby. Fortune and misfortune are mentioned in the second verse.
Back when we had a rare icing here on the Carolina coast, I saw the golden sunset reflected through ice on the fence. The old wire fence was transformed into a canvas. I feel fortunate to have been able to catch the light in these photos.
What is your favorite lullaby? Is it a song or a gentle rain?
Right now, I’m listening to the birds sing – my favorite wakeup call. They say spring is on the way!

Lovely photos, JoAnna. Ice and that golden light are a lovely combination. I have several lullaby’s my mom used to sing that I hold near and dear to my heart. The one you posted is familiar to me. It is quite beautiful.

Beautiful photos, JoAnna! My lullaby comes when I can open the windows in warmer weather and hear birds sing or the sounds of a soft rain. They are both sounds of comfort, which I hope to hear in the next month or so. Happy Saturday!

Awesome photos. A crackling fire is my favorite lullaby… if a wind or rain can be heard outside, all the better! 😉
February 12, 2022 at 9:26 pm
Oh, that sounds wonderful – a warm fire with wind or rain outside. Ah. I’m glad you liked the photos! 🙂

A delightful post. I couldn’t get Parsley, Sage, rosemary and thyme out of my head while listening to the lullaby
February 13, 2022 at 9:17 pm
It’s an easy side step over. Now, I’ve got Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme going in my head, which is okay. I’m glad you enjoyed the post. 🙂
