My Day ~4~15~08 (And a Poem)

Today was my shopping day but I got a really late start of it, so it was late in the afternoon when I got back home! I picked up a rotisserie chicken so didn't have to do much for dinner. A blessing - since I'm always beat after a big shopping excursion.

Our daughter, Tina, came up to visit for a couple of hours, before I went out. I'm always happy to see the kids.

She and Allison had been to Macon, Ga on the weekend to see a concert of the group, 'Plain White Ts'...one of Alli's favorite bands! Turned out, my girls and the band were in the same hotel! :) And they talked to them in the lobby for a long time!
Alli has met them several times so she says they are like old friends now! WELL...thrilling for a teenager, I'm sure!

Before Tina left I asked her to make a picture of me and her dad together, since we don't often get the chance. These were made just as she was about to leave.

Tina said I look like a little kid on Christmas morning in that one with my hands clapsed together! LOL - It's just that I'm happy when my kids are around!


















After she left, since I had my camera in hand, I went to check out the meadow. The wildflowers are growing high, but are still pretty to see. The pink Phlox dominate, but there are a few of these yellow flowers scattered through them - and others, too.





















This yellow butterfly only paused long enough to pose prettily for this picture.

Butterfly

On my walk today,
I saw a butterfly.
Delicate and free,
I watched it flutter
by!
Flitting here and
there, to sample
nature's best.
Constantly
in motion-
determined in
it's quest,
to find the
sweetest nectar;
though
it didn't linger long.
Elusive, this must be,
for it paused
for just a moment...
then was gone.

~~

Like a butterfly...my
thoughts flit here and
there!
Returning,
always, to the sweetest
nectar ...memories of you!
