My Dragonfly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

May Time Magic

Author: Mabel Watts

A little seed
For me to sow?
A little earth
To make it grow?

A little hole,
A little pat,
A little wish,
And that's that.

A little sun,
A little shower?
A little while,
And then a flower.

Things are looking up as our resident poet goes mobile. I’m relieved you got a good long rest.

I did as well. Temperatures are back down into the 60s and the air is drier, so I’ll be in and out today.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Lady, temps are much cooler today, very cool North wind. I walked out into the back yard to sit, alas, it was too cool to be out there.

I think it was a lot warmer this morning. The sun is out.

Nice little poem you posted.

Going out for groceries later this afternoon. The kids are coming tomorrow, YAY!

[Soaring Feather]

What do you think of post 320? Do you like the gradation?

[Lady Jag]

Yes! I like that! Where are you getting your magic?

[Soaring Feather]

Can you believe PhotoShop?? I still have the try out Corel Draw, but really prefer PhotoShop at this point. I am going to purchase Corel though,it does some different stuff and is high tech.

[Lady Jag]

You know it was warmer here this morning, too, and has cooled a little. Still beautiful. You're going to have a wonderful day tomorrow!

[Lady Jag]

Excellent!! Go for it!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Yupper, sure hope so. I am planning on buying some flowers for the table, and some delicious Cream Puffs for the kids, along with exotic coffee.

[Soaring Feather]

I have to leave for errands, see you later. ;)

[Lady Jag]

Ooh, cream puffs!!

You think you’ll get flowers?

[Soaring Feather]

Got the Cream Puffs, they are small ones frozen, but there are about 2 dozen in the container. Cost $4.99.

I will probably get flowers from one of the girls. ;)

I bought a dozen red Roses for $6.00, lovely color, more of a maroon cast to them.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh, I meant to add, it has gotten so cool in the house I turned the furnace on. Tomorrow is gonna be a very cool day.

[Lady Jag]

Eat a dozen tonight so there’ll be a dozen cream pufss tomorrow. After all, it is your day.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, I ate 6 of them after dinner, savored every little bite too! They are filled with Bavarian Cream. Yummy.

[Lady Jag]

Six is a good start, Featherino. You’re part way there! You’re the Mom and you make the rules. Eat ‘em all if they’re small!

[Soaring Feather]

They are all about one inch around, just a taste and one cannot eat just one! :)

I bought some special coffee to serve to my girls. I will bring out my finest Arabia Finnish China, with tiny little spoons. I will put the cream puffs on a special doily, then on a special glass plate from Finland. The cups are very small, and paper thin, the coffee is made very strong, usually served with cream and lump sugar.

I should be serving Cardamom Braids the traditional coffee bread, a yeast bread- it takes all day to make it.

[Soaring Feather]

Good night everyone.

Happy Mother’s Day to those Moms in the Lair.
