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...

JAIL?

MISCHIEF?

Surely, you have me confused with someone else!

[WayzataJOHNN]

Nope, I’m sure that was the name I read on the police report about that huge party, wild drinking, wild dancing and the odd costumes. I just wanna know how you got the Miss Marple’s School for Wayward Waifs and Babes involved to that degree anyway????????

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.


Teddy Bears Picnic Lyrics by Jerry Garcia


If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic


Every teddy bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic


Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love, to play and shout, they never have any cares
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears


If you go down in the woods today
You better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there together because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Skill, cunning, & the promise of Ms. Feather's well stocked liquor cabinet!

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, Dream On Sailor, ms feather has no liquor cabinet.

[tomkow6]

Emptied it out again, eh?

[WayzataJOHNN]

Woman must have a wooden leg, I swear! I keep stocking it and somehow it keeps going down, and she says she isn’t imbibing! Well, we’ll find out, I put a camera on it this time!

[Soaring Feather]

Emptied it out again, eh?
No, actually I am preserving things. hehehehe

[WayzataJOHNN]

Holy Hanna, she’s Pickling Pumpkins in my good hooch! I swear, doesn’t she appreciate a good single-malt for its flavor, its color, its ambiance, no she wants it to ‘can’ her produce! I swear its enough to make an Irishman cry!!!

[Soaring Feather]

I have my eye on you!

[WayzataJOHNN]

Whoa, I had THAT dream last night, and realized it was just something left over from those pickled squashes you made!

I am ALWAYS under some woman’s eye, I’ve gotten used to it after all these years. I’m that man every mother warns her daughter about (and thankfully they don’t believe her!)

Double Pomegranite..Huntington Gardens
~Good Morning To The Lair~

[WayzataJOHNN]

oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh pretty!

what kind of flower is that?

[MEG33]

A double pomegranite blossom. I was on my desktop clicking links I don’t have on my laptop and saw this under “blooming now” under The Huntington Gardens. The Huntington Library and Garden is in Pasedena,CA ...
IIRC. The color fits the season!

I loved your monarch poem..

[Soaring Feather]

Hello Meg!

My goodness this is beautiful!! Thank You.

[WayzataJOHNN]

double pomegranite blossom?

What does a single pomegranite blossom look like????

Glad you liked it, the butterfly always seems the first and the last harbinger of the warm season to me.

[MEG33]

Shall We Have Tea?
;o)

[Soaring Feather]

LOL oh adorable! Thanks so much.

I see The Red Hat Society is well represented. ;0)

~Johnn's Monarch Poem~
A brilliant monarch butterfly seeking the lazy sun
passed me in the brightness of day with a jaunted air
as if to it, would never know a single whit or care
and it made me smile, and then laugh in honest fun

I remember the days that touched me deepest with life
and I remember then and now how I reached beyond myself
and found there as if idle upon a long forgotten shelf
a different heart, a soul less worn, a joy without strife

[WayzataJOHNN]

Love those gals! they showed up all summer to ride the old steamboat, and they were a constant source of fun. They really have a good time, and they made it fun when they showed up to ride. Sort of ‘grandmothers out on a hoot’, and funny! Some of the best jokes I’d heard all summer were from these gals, and they came to have a good time and did. Best attitudes I saw all summer was from these Ladies of the Purple and Red!
