Pin Points Poem
This poem was written while sitting in the backyard, pondering the trip we had just taken last week to West Virginia and over to Kentucky, 2000 miles of reliving past memories of places lived. There were so many places I wish we had the time to visit, and thus the circled spots. It would be grand to travel with no destination in mind, no time constraints, like the fellows on the old Route 66 show, from town to town, working their way across America.
Monarch Caterpillar
A Monarch caterpillar came to eat the milkweed plant that I had transplanted from my fathers place in Williston. I thought that he had going into a cacoon stage but upon closer inspection, the milkweed was giving out little seed parachutes, of which I collected and planted. The caterpillar disappeared and I continue to search for him.
Holding On
The daisies by the mailbox, at the end of the drive are rapidly fading and falling away. This one remained through the sunset before going the way of the others.
Phaon Crescent
In Greek mythology, Phaon was an old man who ferried the goddess of love, Aphrodite, to her destination. In return for his services, she gave him youth and beauty.
I await her betowal.
Alligator Lake
Got off around 1PM from work today. Took the mountain bike out to Alligator Lake. Took the trail that has not been mowed due to the rain. Tough riding. Not too much seen by way of wildlife. Gathered several apple snail shells, the amber disc valve that covers the opening of the shell. Found a note on the car in the parking lot, we have your grandson, bawhahaha...I suppose Landon and Amber were at the playground. Wish I had noticed as it is going on two weeks since seeing Nathaniel.
