MAYTIME

AS MAYDAY`S FRAGRANT MORNING DAWNS,
AND SPRINGTIME`S LEFT BEHIND,
SUMMER DAYS ARE WELCOMED,
AND WE WISH FOR WARMER CLIMES.
THE GARDENS FILL WITH BLOSOMS,
GENTLE WINDS BLOW FROM THE SOUTH,
MAYDAY WHISPERS SUMMERTIME,
AND THE COCOO`S TUNE CHANTS OUT
WILDBIRDS WHISTLE MELODIES,
BENEATH THE SUMMER SKIES
SWALLOWS DRIFT IN MAYTIME SUN
BRINGING WARMTH TO OUR LIVES.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
