My Dragon Fly 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 guides we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and I...

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...

We have to save radu some Donuts!

Thanks.
Those two were seperate fragments that came to me last night.
They aren't completeed yet, and currently I am busy digging a huge hole to put my mutant rose bush in for teh winter.
Unfortunately, I need to dig a 3 foot by 4 foot hole.
Because it's now in a pot and I can't get it out of the pot without destroying the pot.
And I need that pot for when I move.
Came in afor a second to get a drink and grab my work gloves for this project.

The Beauty of the Mutant Rose

She sleeps now
in her repose
beautiful Mutant Rose

In Spring her roots will
send tender shoots
down in sun warmed soil
her gift to you, Darksheare
will be her vibrant color
and her thorns of green
her smile of love
the fragrance of attar
perfume of the Gods
and seducer of Faeries
little garden gnomes in tree homes

Freely she sends her aroma
But her price is the prick of the thorn
rather like love...

SELLING LIKE HOT POTATOES

During the Alaskan Klondike gold rush, (1897-1898)
potatoes were practically worth their weight in gold.
Potatoes were so valued for their vitamin C content that miners traded gold for potatoes.

[Soaring Feather]

September 23, 1986, the House of Representatives passed a joint resolution naming the rose as the "national floral emblem" of the United States. The Senate had passed the resolution in 1985.

The measure then went to President Ronald Reagan. He signed the resolution into law on October 7, 1986 in a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden.

On November 20, 1986, President Reagan signed Proclamation 5574: The National Floral Emblem of the United States of America: The Rose. (Note: a proclamation announces an act by the government; it does not have the effect of law.)



Proclamation No. 5574. The Rose Proclaimed the National
Floral Emblem of the United States of America

Proc. No. 5574. Nov. 20, 1986, 51 F.R. 42197, provided:

Americans have always loved the flowers with which God decorates our land. More often than any other flower, we hold the rose dear as the symbol of life and love and devotion, of beauty and eternity. For the love of man and woman, for the love of mankind and God, for the love of country, Americans who would speak the language of the heart do so with a rose.

We see proofs of this everywhere. The study of fossils reveals that the rose has existed in America for age upon age. We have always cultivated roses in our gardens. Our first President, George Washington, bred roses, and a variety he named after his mother is still grown today. The White House itself boasts a beautiful Rose Garden. We grow roses in all our fifty States. We find roses throughout our art, music, and literature. We decorate our celebrations and parades with roses. Most of all, we present roses to those we love, and we lavish them on our altars, our civil shrines, and the final resting places of our honored dead.

The American people have long held a special place in their hearts for roses. Let us continue to cherish them, to honor the love and devotion they represent, and to bestow them on all we love just as God has bestowed them on us.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 159 [Pub.L. 99.449, Oct. 7, 1986, 100 Stat. 1128, which enacted this section], has designated the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation declaring this fact.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States of America.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

Too bad we have never proclaimed a National Language.
