I Watched A Butterfly Yesterday...

and no matter how I moved,
it would not go away.
It fluttered by,
low and high,
I moved
but it would not go.
I watched a butterfly
It hovered with nothing to say.
I watched and cried.
knowing not why,
it didn't fly away.
I watched the butterfly
and remembered,
long ago, this day, Dad died.

Dad was always a Cayce fan,
a believer of things rare,
maybe, just maybe...
Dad sent the butterfly here.

Happy Arkansas Cows...

rest in the shade with full bellies,
stare at people with cameras,
chase little dogs,
and dine with butterflies.

Pumpkin Guts And Washouts


I just like the sound of that, pumpkin guts.  Did you know you can roast these seeds for a tasty snack?

This is one of the reasons the cows kept getting out one whole section of fence left with the flood.  This week that shall be remedied.  Short of cash but not so short on cattle, my hubby has worked out a deal, fencing for cows.  One bred cow gets our fence completed, no back breaking work for hubby, no missed days from work to fix the fence, I think it was a heck of trade.  Hubby has many post planted to expand the pasture but neither of us has the time nor the health to do it.

One victim on the farm this week, the butterfly was almot finished but Orange helped him go into the light.

Water always calms me, there is just a peace about it that seems to cure my maladies.

On the darker side, I have a green flying buzzing around that is as big as a helicopter.  Could this be a indication I need to clean house?  Has she laid eggs in my sink?  Or is this a precursor to Amittyville Horror?

Looking Over Shit...

To see the beauty.

...maybe I should have said stuff but I think the word will have to stay.

You may find beauty anywhere and under anything...you just have to look.

Bee Cause...

Sometimes we miss the little things.
Sometimes we do not look down because we are hurrying forward.

There is beauty in the small things

...and there's always life.
Why should be look?
BEE cause we can!
