We dance as strangers, we drink the wine

[sovay]

This afternoon I gathered milkweed from the meadows for the next round of foster-monarchs. We have hatched four so far, seven are in chrysalis, two caterpillars remain motoring their way through piles of leaves and we have at least one egg which with any luck will yield another. Somebody please stage an intervention if I am heard to observe that the stars resemble God's daisy chain.

So long as you're not skipping about going "Hello clouds! Hello sky!" you'll probably be all right.

[mrissa]

I do that! I never forget to add "hello Molesworth" to the end, though.

I've missed the elves' bridal veil stage of the morning, though. Damn.

[flemmings]

I love only robins. If you do not love robins Father Christmas will not bring you any presents.

Now someone please stage an intervention before I quote the whole of How to be Topp.

Are you kidding? That's literature!

I hope you at least got the sunset with the angelic gates.

Worse than that - doesn't it have to be "Hullo," with a U?

I do frequently say "Hello, crow!" to the corvids I encounter. Practicing my crow-crow-crow-croning now that I am almost five dozen.

I think that is excellent.

[anna_wing]

I certainly greet my cats, who politely greet me back.

So far, so good!

lol! I'm glad the butterflies are putting in danger of the sentiment, though! (And, I mean, it is only known to ward off a Bertie, and do you want a Bertie right now? Probably not. Jeeves wouldn't be having it. XD)

And, I mean, it is only known to ward off a Bertie, and do you want a Bertie right now?

Ah, but it also attracts Fink-Nottles. At least you can learn some cool newt facts?

[sovay]

He talks about newts, I talk about slime mold; it all works out.

I don't know that I ever want a Bertie, so, a point in favor!

(Thank you.)

But a Bertie would, one hopes, comes with a Jeeves, after which all your problems, whatever they are, will be expeditiously solved...

It is true that that has its attractions.

I'm missing the reference (... searching on "God's daisy chain" .... Ahhh, got it now!) Oh man! She is paints the landscape in jusssst the wrong colors. She is the Thomas Kincade of expressing delight in the ethereal beauty of nature.

So glad you're doing this, as you know. I'm smiling at "motoring their way through piles of leaves"

I would like to frame this image and then try never to think about it again.

It's really wonderful to see them.

Go butterflies go!

[sovay]

Go butterflies go!

It's so cool and I want them to thrive.

Yay monarch extravaganza!

The fifth hatched and was last seen roosting in a nearby fruit tree today!

This is a perfect paragraph.
