Virginia, I really, really like this - what a way with words you have in describing what occurs everyday in nature and in the world - you describe it so well! I love this line: "bumble bee in wide striped p.j's" that is just such a clever visual  Melissa~ |

Thank you, Melissa, that's my favorite image here, too, of course the bumble bee gave it to me, he was wearing them right outside my door. |
