Something to Think About ~ August 12, 2017

Scenes from my little garden...
 
 

The beautiful Monarch Butterfly Caterpillar

 
 

 
 
Little hot pepper plants...

 
Day Lilies and Yellow Cherry Tomatoes...

"Farmers farm for the love of farming. They love to watch and nurture the growth of plants. They love to live in the presence of animals. They love to work outdoors. They love the weather, maybe even when it is making them miserable.
They love to live where they work and to work where they live. If the scale of their farming is small enough, they like to work in the company of their children and with the help of their children. They love the measure of independence that farm life can still provide.
I have an idea that a lot of farmers have gone to a lot of trouble merely to be self-employed: to live at least a part of their lives without a boss."

Wendell Berry ~ Bringing it to the Table: On Farming and Food

My goodness!
Such surprising rudeness
I thought butterflies
Only gave kisses
And not black eyes!
~~~~~
 
Gosh darn it
I thought I was meeting
A prince
Not a monarch....

Poetry Potluck: Nature: Plants, Creatures and the Cosmos

Nature:
Plants, Creatures and the Cosmos

Emerald green home
It's beauty turns into wings
And heads to the stars
