From White to Pink...

I would have been totally content

with pure and simple white

but you thought a strawberry blush

would complement the vanilla hue

thank you very much

I have absolutely no complaints

Happy Workers

A Friendly Morning Sun

But later today, one may long for shade.  Heat indices promised in the 100s.  Glad I watered everywhere!

I'll have a stack of coneflowers topped with a butterfly, please.

On a Clear Day

On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of 
Every mountain, sea, and shore
You will hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before
And on a clear day
On that clear day
You can see forever, and ever, 
And ever more

This sweet little cottage, over 100 years old, just gained a lovely new garden and rain barrel.

A Butterfly Feast

The back yard echinacea circle has been teeming with butterflies and bees this week.  They seem to be savoring their final juicy meals before the big departure for warmer climes.
