Try To Remember

After ten days of cloudy weather.
today the sun is shining.
The light is changing to the wonderful light of Autumn.

The spicebush swallowtail made an appearance 
on the lantana in Musashi's Garden. 

I found a lovely collage on FB that included some of the lyrics to
Try To Remember.

I'm aging myself I'm sure when I say I remember
Harry Belafonte signing this lovely song.

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.

A little over a year ago this is what it looked like around Twisty Lane.
I send thoughts and prayers to the good folk in North Carolina. 

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Butterflies and Flowers

The butterfly counts not months but moments,
and has time enough.
~Rabindranath Tagore

Butterflies are self propelled flowers.

~R.H. Heinlein

If nothing ever changed,
there'd be no butterflies.
~Author Unknown

"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly,
"one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."
~Hans Christian Andersen



Today I'm joining the lovely Judith for Mosaic Monday.

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish Blessing

Finally, one of the beautiful butterflies visiting Musashi's Garden
decided to be still long enough to get its portrait taken!

I took lots of photos of this Black Swallowtail.
Most of them were blurry.
This little lady was in a big hurry to eat and didn't slow down much.

She really liked the zinnias.

Drink, Drink, Drink

Here she is in all her glory hanging on to our tangerine tree.
By the time I opened the patio door to get closer -
she was gone.

Smile - it's catching!

Joy to You!
