Note:<\/p>\n

For the final day of August 2022 – Let’s take a trip to California.\u00a0 I wrote this poem as my friend drove the car in Yosemite National Park. I was busy writing this poem in the back seat while my husband and friend were in the front seat. We arrived at Yosemite and we went to a cabin\u00a0 for a little get-a-way in the mountains. I just had to find a word for every letter in the alphabet to describe this landscape.<\/p>\n
