Its there I find my peace

Through the cracks in my paving
I'm growing lemon thyme
The rosemary I'm saving
In my cooking will taste divine.

Delightful infusions for our senses to indulge,

White butterflies flap 
around the plump blooms
of a buddleia bush, heady
on nectar and a rush
of perfume from the thick
clusters of purple flowers.
They seem quite drunk,
roused in number to swarm
this beacon of pleasure.

Held within a cloud...

The Mexican Monarch
You may see them passing by 
On their spiral flight, through the sky
You might see the North American Mariposa
While on your patio enjoying your Mimosa
A two-way journey, migración magnifico!
From frigid Canada to welcoming...
