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...

Hello, Thomas.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, yours was truly hilarious!

[MEG33]

I loved the picture and the caption immediately popped in my head..LOL

It was so warm early this morning that I hooked up the hose and washed the patio in the dark..splashing my sliding doors of course..
I ended up while it was still dark washing the doors, then..It works out well as you can turn on all the lights in the house and see what you are doing..If I tried this in the summer the mosquitos would fly off with me..LOL

THOMAS????

Don’t you just love it when a frame will come together so well?

Window washing in the dark
I tell you, for Meg, it is no lark!

We are having rain, I have heard that some parts of our state had massive black ice. Accidents all over the place. I do not know if we have the ice here.

[Soaring Feather]

WOW gonna be chilly and dangerous for you folks. Be careful, Tom.

[MEG33]

;o)

Black ice is so treacherous. You don't see it.

It's cloudy but there is a hope of some sun. We have a false spring now but winter will hit again.

[tomkow6]

Really funny thing about this winter storm: our GM has called a staff meeting at our St Marys plant. All the staff members here are leaving all together this noon, in a mini-van, for St Marys, a good 6-8 hour drive.

I think all our staff members will be getting snowed in there!

[Soaring Feather]

Gee whiz, not very good planning, or for them maybe it is. I would not want it.

[tomkow6]

I guess this was planned last week, before this storm decided to form.

[NY Attitude]

That is how feel right about now. I am waiting for the cable person to install the HD box and supercharge my broadband. Love the picture, it is so human-like.

[Soaring Feather]

Well, you’re gonna be whizzing around the channels and the web.

I noticed that our area is advertising supercharged broadband. Costs more money though so I probably will not get it.

Cats are great fun.

[tomkow6]

Is Larry, the Cable Guy, coming to the HD box & supercharger???

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning to the Lair!
