Botany In Action

This morning I found you before the rain,
Before a shower, before makeup and hairspray,
Before you made your breath like mint,
Before morning prayer, soap, earrings, and perfume,
Before hot water, breakfast and a cigarette, when
You were six brown leaves dancing in the wind

This morning I found you before the phone rang,
Before the first bill was paid, before your impatiens woke to thirst,
Before you cleaned rough white crystals of sleep from the corner of your eye,
Before you took any medicine, before you looked in any mirror,
Before your life began to need you, when
You were smooth stones at the bottom of a cold, fast-moving stream

This morning I found you before you touched the powdered wing of your own early beauty
With an attempt to be beautiful.
Your hair a million unmapped directions, a survey of the wildness of sleep,
Your body rising, falling with your breath, before you dressed in different rhythm.
This morning I found you when you were botany in action,
Partly bud and partly bloom, scarlet flower drinking air and light.

Good evening, Yorkie.
Thank you for the beautiful graphic and the wonderful poem.

Hope you had a fantastic Butterfly Day.

Oh wow, those look yummy.:)

I copied the recipe, but with the diet I'm on (South Beach) I'll have to adapt it...........Splenda vs. sugar, whole wheat pastry flour vs. white flour, etc. And does anyone know if Hershey's make dark chocolate kisses? I think they do, right?

[MozartLover]

I like black bean burritos............just put some of those beans you're cooking into a flour tortilla with a little shredded cheddar and some salsa. Sour cream if you want. Yum.

I had a cell phone briefly but it died. I really didn't use it that much.

Hubby & I are taking a "day trip" tomorrow.......to one of the areas we were going to visit on our now-cancelled vacation.....a couple of towns right on the Lake Michigan shoreline. We'll tour a lighthouse and a Coast Guard museum, and have lunch somewhere fun. Looking forward to it!

[JustAmy]

Conor, Thank you for remembering our Fallen Heroes.

Hope your Thursday was Terrific.

[Billie]

Thank you, jaycee. I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, too - pretty much a lunch staple for me if I’m having lunch by myself.

[Billie]

That is so pretty!

"And does anyone know if Hershey's make dark chocolate kisses?"

They sure do, MozLov - It is called Hershey's Kisses - Special Dark

I have the feeling the aren't going to be easy to find, tho. Good luck!

[Billie]

I am tempted to buy a small cheap microwave while I decide..LOL

I would for sure! I'm lost without that microwave!

[Billie]

Thanks, yorkie - think that little girl’s expression is so very cute! So is your raccoon!

[Billie]

Have enjoyed your family pics and the cute gifs, too. Welcome to Amy’s - I’ve added your name to my ping list - I usually post the opening on Tuesdays. :)

[Billie]

Oh, my - that is so touching. I was going to cue the song: “I Made it Thru the Rain”, but have already deleted from my server. :)

[MozartLover]

Thanks - I shall begin my quest anon.:)

I used to hate dark chocolate but ever since I stopped eating milk chocolate, the dark stuff doesn't taste so bad.:-)

[Billie]

Thanks, Amy - I think that little girl is so cute and what a treat to find the "Peanut Butter" poem!

Pretty butterflies & pansies - and that hamburger in the holiday post.....looks soooooo GOOD!

[MozartLover]

Thanks Billie. Amy’s seems like a very nice place to hang out.:-)

[Billie]

Your butterfly thread was one of your very prettiest! I’m glad you linked it here, Dolly.

[yorkie]

Thank you, Billie.

It’s been a long day - and will be even longer tomorrow. I’ll try to post my ‘regular’ before I have to be gone the rest of the day. Have a happy Fry-day!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Meg.

Been a busy day. Marissa and I spent 2 1/2 hours doing homework.
She only had enough time for dinner and a quick bath before bed.

She is asleep now. I hope she gets a good rest tonight.

Wishing you a Happy Butterfly Day.
Your butterfly graphic is lovely.
