For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
NICE WALKING
I’m walking here and walking there,
My legs are saying, Don’t you care?
I’m doing this and doing that,
My legs are saying, Sit, you rat!
I brought my legs with me I know,
They keep saying, Sit, or we go!
It seems that everywhere I walk,
My legs say, Sit Bonehead, and talk!
I walk for fun and walk for food,
My legs just say, Sitting is good!
I walk to parks, I walk to hill,
My legs just say, Why not sit still?
I walk to places like the store,
My legs just say, Please stop, no more!
But now at home, relax, no pain,
My legs say, Let’s do it again!

I just like to protect my feet! How’s the garden, and butterflies?

:). The garden is sanctuary. Now, it’s harvest time—herbs need cutting back. Poppies need picking. Lavender is drying. Compost needs turning…never ending.
Dragonflies are buzzing about…butterflies are scarce now. But that’s ok—they will be back. Baby birds are leaving the nests too. Every day something new…

Sounds so nice! What is the lavender for? Lots of dragonflies here too but not easy getting pictures of them, but easier than butterflies (none around). Yes, lots of baby birds around now.😃😄🌞🦋🐛🦟🐞

Lavender is for a relaxing fragrant sleep pillow. Nice for soap too. I also like to make an herbal eyewash when I have eye strain. I saw a nice yellow swallow tail butterfly today—only one…and a little cabbage white. The bats are starting to come out for the evening feed…yes—it is nice in the garden today :)👩🌾⛈🌻🌈🙃

Haven’t seen the swallowtails around for a while now. Also haven’t seen any bats for 3 years now, nice to have around, they eat a lot of mosquitoes. Good uses for the lavender. Your garden sounds so relaxing. Enjoy another day in your garden!!😃🌞😸
