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...

I know Meg, thank God they are stumble bums. Or who knows maybe it’s one of their tactics. I just can’t think in those evil ways.

After Wednesday, our temps have been in the 70s with low humidity, the air is so easy to breathe. Good break and it looks to be like this over the weekend, too. YAY!

Hope you don’t have to roast over the weekend.

I am gonna make some coffee, I need a good charge. ;)

Any chance of mosquito infestation with all of that water?

[MEG33]

I just bought Deep Woods Off..I am expecting them..and ready.

[NY Attitude]

Good. I was also wondering is county or the state do the typical spraying of chemicals to ward off the mosquitos?

[MEG33]

I love my A/C! I can’t believe I grew up in Texas when homes were not air conditioned...and thrived.

[Soaring Feather]

Yes, that was a fete indeed. I grew up without even a fan, we never had electricity until 1950! Hot outhouses, too.

It was country, and we did just fine.

Then being out in those hot hay fields, oh my goodness. I don’t really like to sweat, but it does help. Then of course, as a Finn kid we had the sauna! It was our way of life and one did sweat in there. :)

[MEG33]

They do spray/fog as a rule in my daughter’s suburb near Houston..but I haven’t seen it here...at least not in my neighborhood..The mosquitos were terrible here after the last heavy rain spell. I change the water daily in the birdbath even when it has rained a lot...

Of course water will be standing in the ravine once the runoff stops and that will breed plenty of mosquitos.

I'm speechless.

I was off to Costco stocking up on stuff. The freezer isn’t empty anymore and I have meat again!

I fell behind on the news and hope nothing more has nappened in UK.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL this is hilarious! I love it, especially the kitten sticking out its tongue.

Good on ya!!

[Soaring Feather]

Nothing new in England on the 7:00 pm news, thank heavens.

[Soaring Feather]

We don’t have a Costco store here as far as I know, we do have Sam’s Club some miles away, my kids go there.

My freezer needs to be cleaned out and some older stuff heaved out, then I could lay in some supplies.

Having your freezer stocked will be great for you now that you have your RV!

              X <<< We'll be HERE!  
                    (...Wearing some Dodger Blue.)
            ...Look for us on Saturday!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Okay, I will! Can you put on a purple hat or something. I will not be able to see you in the sea of blue. :)

[Lady Jag]

The one with the tongue IS the cutest!

[Lady Jag]

I know! The Chicago Cubs!

[Seadog Bytes]

...um... Good guess, but that'd be a little too long a 'Saturday drive' for us, I'm afraid.

[Lady Jag]

Um . . . The California Seals?

RE: "Okay, I will! Can you put on a purple hat or something. I will not be able to see you in the sea of blue."

(Note 'sea of blue' background.)

...Can you see me now?

[Seadog Bytes]

RE: 'California Seals'

Well, no, not exactly, but that's closer at least.
