The Dragonflies' Lair ~ Thread XXXIX~ June ~ July~ August

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...

Last year was dry..We had already surpassed last year’s rainfall in May..I’ve grown accustomed to it already and now pout if the rain doesn’t fall on my yard..LOL We do not need heavy rainfall. There have been deaths from flash flooding this year. We are under a flash flood watch.

I have cardinals, house finches, chickadees, titmice and a beautiful red bellied woodpecker right now..Others come at different times of the year..I saw a large tom turkey two weeks ago in my neighbor’s yard..I have had bluejays, mockingbirds, crows..and carolina wrens this spring on occasion.
I also have raccoons come and feed at night regularly. right by my sliding door and have seen a fox feed several times this spring.
This is a great nature watching spot ...right by my computer.

I hope that you and your family and neighbors will be safe. Flash floods are dangerous and unforgiving.

You do have a lot of creatures around your house. They must be entertaining to say the least.

My pirate name is:
Bloody Mary Roberts
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!
