SPRING IS HERE -by Laura Swan

I Went Into My Sun Room,
And What Did I See?
This Little Yellow Butterfly,
Smiling At Me!

With His Feet To His Chest,
He Did His Thing
" The Butterfly Walk "
He Began To Sing.

Hi Everyone! How good to see you all! Thanks for all you added here! :D What a delight that Spring has finally arrived. It was such a long hard winter here. I bought a bunch of cute things to spruce up the sun room and back deck this week. It has been MOST fun putting them up and also outside! :D Thanks for enjoying it with me!!!

So you say- however it SNOWED here about 3-4 inches today!!! Summer will never get here #10704368

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer May 24, 2013

WOW! Look at the size of that butterfly.
I did not know they were that big in Canada, Sister.
And they're smiling too - isn't that just cute :)
I love your poem, SSSLala. I love it so much. I really wish I could see all your poems and matching images in a book. I would buy it and I'm sure others would too.
Maybe as a collection on a website? Okay, I'm just dreaming a little dream here :)
This image made me dream - and smile.
Thank you!!!

Ah, Pom, who knows better than you the best way to announce that Spring has arrived? You've brought us a lemon-yellow butterfly who looks like a little (or maybe big) fairy, who can sprinkle sparkles all over those who've been steeped in snow. YAY-ah!
You bring yet another smile to the bp community, and as Kiki wrote above,
Thank You!!! #10705759

Laura E. Swan May 26, 2013

Denny, Thank you! :) How is Strawberry Season starting??? Lots of rain? We have had rain all week!

Hi Shelly, BP isn't very active anymore is it? I came to visit you! :))!! Maybe if others read this they will too :D Maybe no one even stayed attached to this thread and I am talking to myself?? Lol...

Hi Terry! I willbe posting a new one today, too, I think! :D Thanks!!! -Lala

Hi Paddy...Aren't I silly? HeeHee Part of me is still a kid. :) I should have been a school teacher maybe?

Hi Miss N.N. Kitty! And I love YOU. :D -N.L.

Hi Julianne! Thanks, lots! :) !!

HeeHee to Carol...I know JUST what you mean. We get snow here off and on all year. Or HAIL when the snow hibernates. I hope spring is finally there now!

Hi SSSKiki!:D I bet you might have butterflies in Sherwood Forest at your house that could be this size,too :) ??? This butterfly has brothers and sisters in my sun room! :))) They all look so happy! :D Thank you so much! I am happy this made you happy! Love you!

Hi Mare! You are so dear to me. :) I am hoping to make part of my garden a FAIRY GARDEN this year or next. :))) I have been looking high and low for little Tinker Bell type figurines so I can start making it happen. How sweet you though this little one looks a bit like a fairy! I might go that route if need be! I will attach a photo of what I would like to do.

My memberships rus out for BP in July. I don't have the heart to leave. Even if our work is no longer recognized very often.

Thanks for bringing smiles to MY heart today all of you!

-Love, SSSLaura/LOTW/Lala and of course POMMY :)
