The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread~XXXIV~March 10, 2007

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 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...

No, not yet. It has melted back a lot, but there are those big piles that accumulated from shoveling. They are going down. We never got the rain that was forecast for yesterday, a good rain would take it off the ground.

Sun is in and out here and it's in the low 50s. When the sun is out it's warm and when it's in it's cold.

I neglected to ping you to the above post.

I'm punishing myself right now.

I think that you are incorrect about the -40 for Californians. It is probably more like +10 degrees. That goodness we do not get snow on the valley floor. If we did, I would not go to work, fill my Thermos full of hot coffee and walk down to the Central Ave overpass and watch the fun of them trying to drive.

I didn't write that because, if I had, Floridians would have put on down parkas at 70º like my friend's cousin does - and she lives in Pensacola!

That is what happens here in California. It is 80 degrees here and they are all bundled up like Eskimos.

You're not there yet? Where you're cold at 80?

Though I've never spent more than 2 weekd in a row in Florida, I don't think I could ever get "there". Though, as everyone knows, it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

I run in around in a tee when it is 55. I just love the reaction it gets.

Around these parts, shorts & tees in winter is a young male phenomenon. Some young guys wear them year round.

Because I run hot, I'm always under-dressing, but the sight of some of those blokes on the coldest days, makes even ME shiver.

Which also reminds me, I remember a day when men didn't wear shorts, only long pants.

Okay, another surprise. I would not have guessed this color. People know you as a straight shooter. You're very honest, even when the truth hurts.

Good evening Soaring Feather. I was surprised at the color. The dialogue was a pretty accurate description of me. I would imagine the shades of night have come crashing down where you live. It is still daylight here. I think that we were close to a record high in temperature today.

It was much warmer here with lots more snow melt. I looked out the back door and saw Snow Drops blooming midst the snow. Ah, relief! Spring is on the way. Still four inches of snow in places in the backyard. Lots of dirty brown grass showing up here and there.

I think those tests are kinda fun. Odd, both of ours were the same. I suppose due to general questions. I am fond of the color purple.

Glad to hear that it is warmer there and that Spring arrives in 10 days. Those tests are fun. My favorite color is Blue.

All the colors I wear are cool colors, so blue is one I do wear.
