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...

Yup, and you found a real treasure.

What a delightful poem!

I am resting from my yard commando duties in the front yard..It wasn’t going to get any cooler..so I finally attacked it.

[Soaring Feather]

Cactus are easy to grow, if you can stand the barbs that come with some of them. I had one so full of small dart like prickers I could not pass by it without getting a barb! Gave that thing away fast.
I like the dry desert air, maybe it would not be so great if I lived in it all the time, don't know.

I guess I must enjoy crabbing about Northeast weather. ;)

[Soaring Feather]

Mine!!

[NY Attitude]

For some reason things just grow. I took an old what presumably was dead bamboo piece, placed it in water and left it alone for 8 weeks. It started to sprout leaves.

[Lady Jag]

I really am going to have a strawberry shortcake - as soon as I bake the biscuits for it.

[Lady Jag]

Gal! You’re the treasure!

[Lady Jag]

OMG! Is it still alive???

[Soaring Feather]

I think both plants are called succulents, they thrive on water. Cacti store water in their leaves, bamboo is a reedy, grass like plant.

[Soaring Feather]

Thanks hon, but I'm just an old chunk of coal, I am going to be a diamond someday. ;)
You're gem like yerself ya know.

[Soaring Feather]

My friends in TN have a large bamboo forest on their farm, I was amazed, I thought it grew only in Asia.

[MEG33]

Some of it I severely wounded..but it will recover to need trimming again! LOL
What I did kill was a long outdoor extension cord while not paying close enough attention when trimming the hedges. Thank heavens I have another so I could finish..That’s the first time I ever nicked one.

[Lady Jag]

I’ve seen bamboo forests here and there and they’re neat.

I get a kick out of the sound bamboo makes when there’s a wind.

[Soaring Feather]

Well, we should have some pandas then. ;)
