Mine isn't a poety thread, although as you may have noted I normally try to include some poetry on many subjects.

[tuliptree76]

I'll try...

(I'm not sure what to do though.)

[Majie Purple]

So lovely All of it! And I looooove "P's Canon in D" Pacabel I think is hw it's spelled...LOL that's why I just wrote P's at first!

[DollyCali]

well, your pet is a hard one to take for an outing!

movies? hikes? zoo? museums? One thing in life I have never had a problem with...

finding things to do in free time ...

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Sweet FRiend!

[tuliptree76]

I don't have much free time anymore. That's why my FReep time keeps dwindling.

Good night, Dolly.

[DollyCali]

your post really brought back memories.. I recall as a youngster watching Walt Disney each Sunday night(or was it Saturday?).. and there was a rotation of types of shows.. the nature ones were fun but painful. The natural predator /victim(dinner) was always painful to me. As a biology student in college I was still much too naive as I really DID NOT WANT TO KNOW OF & SEE THIS AWFUL stuff.

[DollyCali]

To all who made this a fun & clever thread today. I really tried hard to NOT make this the deep technical thread on butterflies that all good biologists would do (yup that was one of my undergrad majors)... and you all shared some marvelous things here & I thank you. Sweet dreams & 14 angels attend you all dear FRiends.

I have a question for you. My daughter is to read a book to the younger children visiting our botanical gardens for the Earth Day celebration. She is allowed to pick the book, but it has to be appropriate, and we have to turn in the title today. Do you know of any books that may look at nature from a conservative or nonpolitical point of view? Our default choice is The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss, but if you know of others, I'd love it if you'd let us know.

PINGING SOME OF MY READING FRiends for an answer ASAP for Chanticleer, if you can help. Daughter seems to be about 8-10.. She needs a response today.. and I am curious now too!!!!

C.. pinging the others here who might know, I am a pretty empty well for book recommendations..

[Carolinamom]

Off the top of my head titles: The Secret Garden, The Seed Folks, and James and the Giant Peach.

I'm not really up on children's lit these days, so these might not fit this occasion.

[DollyCali]

see post 275 with some ideas from Carolina mom & check back now & then as the people may ping me rather than you with the responses..and I wont be here all day to give responses... Molly Pitcher is a librarian & Jemian a teacher so they may have some ideas if they check their pings & have time to resond.

[DollyCali]

lol.. thanks for pretty pix... I can't tell you how often I have a little surprise when I post...unless it is really embarrassing, I don't have mods delete..

[DollyCali]

you are welcome Luv.. thanks for your input (and I love the font colorizer.. use it a lot.).

[Chanticleer]

Thanks so much for your suggestions. It needs to be something that can be read outloud in a relatively short time -- most likely a picture book -- something geared towards the 1st grade and under set.
