Three Muses Challenge - House

Our house is a very,very, very fine house, with 2 cats in the yard...

Our House by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young




I'll light the fire

You put the flowers in the vase that you bought today

Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to 

you

Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me

Come to me now and rest your head for just five 

minutes, everything is good

Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the

Sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you

Our house is a very, very, very fine house with two cats 

in the yard

Life used to be so hard

Now everything is easy 'cause of you

And our la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Our house is a very, very, very fine house with two cats 

in the yard

Life used to be so hard

Now everything is easy 'cause of you

And our...

I'll light the fire while you place the flowers in the vase

that you bought today

Take a Word Challenge - Blackbird

Haven't been around because my pc crashed and my lap top screen broke, so online is doable with some fancy rigging but definitely a challenge. Saving for a new computer...and hoping that it will come soon!

Blackbirds remind me of ravens and ravens remind me of Poe and Poe reminds me of Annabel Lee, one of my favorite poems:

Annabel Lee

BY EDGAR ALLAN POE

It was many and many a year ago,

   In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

   By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

   Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

   In this kingdom by the sea,

But we loved with a love that was more than love—

   I and my Annabel Lee—

With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven

   Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,

   In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

   My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsmen came

   And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

   In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,

   Went envying her and me—

Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,

   In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

   Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

   Of those who were older than we—

   Of many far wiser than we—

And neither the angels in Heaven above

   Nor the demons down under the sea

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

   Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,

   In her sepulchre there by the sea—

   In her tomb by the sounding sea.

As always, thanks for stopping by...

Summer Azure

so hot in michigan this summer that nothing is growing well in my gardens, and the bees and other bugs i like to photograph have been somewhere else. Finally had a cooler day of only 86 today and a summer azure was dancing on my favorite wild flower, pokeweed blossoms. Hands out of practice but caught a few decent shots. Not up to those taken in previous couple of years, but made my summer not quite all washed out. 

as always, thanx for stopping by :)

pokeweed bush

pokeweed blossoms turning to green berries

pokeweed berries turning to dark purple

It has simple leaves on green to red or purplish stems and a large white taproot. The flowers are green to white, followed by purple to almost black berries which are a food source for songbirds such as gray catbird, northern mockingbird, northern cardinal, and brown thrasher, as well as other birds and some small animals (i.e., to species that are unaffected by its mammalian toxins)... horses, sheep and cattle have been poisoned by eating fresh leaves or green fodder, and pigs have been poisoned by eating the roots...its significant toxicity and its risks to human and animal health are consistently reported, with the whole of the plant toxic and increasing in toxicity through the year, with children at particular risk of its very poisonous purple-red ripe fruit...

Kousa Dogwood

My Kousa Dogwood is full of blossoms this year and they are so beautiful that it was impossible to resist working with some of the images...
