happy valentines day to everyone

We miss you Max.

We will always love you Max.

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND PET ME NOW!!

 

Could you please remove that net?  It’s blocking my sun!

 

Ohh….mmmm…that sun feels good!

 

I can’t get much more comfortable than this!

Some of my best work getting done.

We will always love you Max.

Poem by Emily Dickinson

I tend my flowers for thee

“I tend my flowers for thee —

Bright Absentee!
My Fuchsia’s Coral Seams
Rip — while the Sower — dreams —

Geraniums — tint — and spot —
Low Daisies — dot —
My Cactus — splits her Beard
To show her throat —

Carnations — tip their spice —
And Bees — pick up —
A Hyacinth — I hid —
Puts out a Ruffled Head —
And odors fall
From flasks — so small —
You marvel how they held —

Globe Roses — break their satin glake —
Upon my Garden floor —
Yet — thou — not there —
I had as lief they bore
No Crimson — more —

Thy flower — be gay —
Her Lord — away!
It ill becometh me —
I’ll dwell in Calyx — Gray —
How modestly — alway —
Thy Daisy —
Draped for thee”
