Hello, Today's Flowers

THE SONG OF THE FOXGLOVE FAIRY

"Foxglove, Foxglove,

What do you see?"

The cool green woodland,

The fat velvet bee;

Hey, Mr Bumble,

I've honey here for thee!

"Foxglove, Foxglove,

What see you now?"

The soft summer moonlight

On bracken, grass, and bough;

And all the fairies dancing

As only thy know how.

-Cicely Mary Barker.

make a lovely addition to any garden.

March

My how time flies, sorry for the long pause.
This is me hoping for spring to come early.
I wish I smelled like a hyacinth

My spring scarf hangs in mom's room, it looks nice there. I noticed while watching American Idol, that a contestant's wife was wearing the same one .

The Bear

Everyone who sees Fluffy says he looks like a bear,

and after today I'm convinced he is.

I have been feeding the landlord/neighbor's trout,

when they come up to the surface to get the pellets,

Fluffy tries to eat the fish.

He came very close, I have to admit I was a little nervous.

Here is some autmm color to end the day.

Where's the Pond?

We let the ducks out to the pond for the first time today.

Okay, so it's not a pond quite yet,

but the more it rains the fuller it gets.

All the same, they were so happy

to be able to puddle around for a day.

Dad and I were getting ready to press apples,

when I came across this sweet little frog

on mom's mums.

I ran straight to the house and grabbed the camera.
