You caught him long enough for a great picture, Lori.
Your lilac is lovely and the butterfly is special. Thank you.

"Aren't you still under contract?" All I have to do is produce poems the way Obama prints money, and I'll be able to afford postage!

So sorry to hear about the awful itching, Lady. Hoping you get a good night’s rest.

I wonder if we could apply the law about counterfeit money. What he’s printing must be counterfeit because he is tossing it to anyone with their hand out.

"I wonder if we could apply the law about counterfeit money. What he’s printing must be counterfeit because he is tossing it to anyone with their hand out." Okay, good luck with that.
It's enforced by the Secret Service.

A Heart Of Concern
Let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. —Philippians 2:3-4
Jason Ray was a ray of joy on the University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill. He performed as Rameses (the school mascot) for 3 years, hauling his giant ram’s head costume to sporting events one day and children’s hospitals the next. Then, in March 2007, while with his team for a basketball tournament, Jason was struck by a car. His family watched and waited at the hospital, but the 21-year-old succumbed to his injuries and died.
His story doesn’t end there, however. Jason had filed paperwork two years earlier to donate organs and tissue upon his death—and that act of concern saved the lives of four people and helped dozens of others. A young man in the prime of his life, with everything to live for, was concerned for the well-being of others and acted on that concern. Those individuals who were helped, as well as their families, are deeply grateful for this young man who thought of others.
Jason’s act echoes the heart of Paul’s words in Philippians 2, as he called believers to look beyond themselves and their own interests, and to look to the interests of others. A heart that turns outward to others will be a healthy heart indeed.
Love thyself last. Look near, behold thy duty
To those who walk beside thee down life’s road.
Make glad their days by little acts of beauty
And help them bear the burden of earth’s load. —Wilcox

Such a sweet and touching (cold chills) story this morning, Mr. Mayor. Thanks so much and may God Bless. We need to remember:
"A heart that turns outward to others will be a healthy heart indeed."
