    follows me around the field

What an amazing experience, Heidi. I had a monarch land on my shoulder once. It was an amazing experience! Blessings and hugs!😊

I like the mind ponderings offered in your haiku. Amazing how loaded 17 syl can be. Read your bio - you are an impressive force of creativity & ENERGY (I think a soul in the birth line with me stole mine.) I love music, wouldn't want to ever be without it; however, I am tone deaf. Regrettably, my son's first sentence was, "Mama don't sing." I had to record that in his baby book. My sense of humor is of great assistance in life! CayCay
