Simply A Pocketful Of Posies

It's that time of year when so many things are in bloom.
A quick walk around the gardens brought these colors to life.

Ring-a-ring-a-roses,
A pocket full of posies;
Hush! hush! hush! hush!
We’re all tumbled down.

A ring, a ring o' roses,
A pocket full o’posies-
Atishoo atishoo we all fall down.

Ring a ring a Rosie,
A bottle full of posie,
All the girls in our town
Ring for little Josie.

Simply Fishermen's Wives

The winds were starting to blow and the rain was approaching.
One of those days when the Fishermen's Wives Statue seems to come alive.

The inscription at the base reads
"The wives, mothers, daughters and sisters of Gloucester fishermen honor the wives and families of fishermen and mariners everywhere for their faith, diligence, and fortitude."
