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. Christopher Joslyn
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?
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!
Conor, Thank you for remembering our Fallen Heroes.
Hope your Thursday was Terrific.
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.
That is so pretty!
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!
I would for sure! I'm lost without that microwave!
Thanks, yorkie - think that little girl’s expression is so very cute! So is your raccoon!
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. :)
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. :)
I used to hate dark chocolate but ever since I stopped eating milk chocolate, the dark stuff doesn't taste so bad.:-)
Pretty butterflies & pansies - and that hamburger in the holiday post.....looks soooooo GOOD!
Thanks Billie. Amy’s seems like a very nice place to hang out.:-)
Your butterfly thread was one of your very prettiest! I’m glad you linked it here, Dolly.
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!
LOL
