"the one who seeks to pluck the stars
will miss the jewels at his feet"
will miss the jewels at his feet"
(from "the Power of Love" on the album "Tao" by Rick Springfield )
Leaving Mass today, I found this butterfly wing on the ground.
How beautiful, and new to me. I don't remember ever seeing this type of butterfly before. The colors and pattern are just fabulous! I picked it up and turned it over, and to my surprise, found that it was the back of a common Monarch wing. Who knew?
As my Father would have said. "Just another one of God's throw-aways", meaning that it will soon be gone, so enjoy it now, like a sunset; there will be another one tomorrow, but never the same one.
I still miss him every day! Appreciate today while it's here!
I wish everyone a good and happy school year! I'll be starting over again this year, as I change to middle school, grades 6-8. All foods classes, though. No sewing classes :(
2 new private sewing students start this week, though!!!
Enjoy!
To my Australian friends, have a wonderful Father's Day!

What a lovely find. It is amazing how there is hidden beauty in all sorts of places. Thanks for the happy fathers day for all of the Australian dads and thanks for joining in this week. Lou.
absolutely beautiful Mary!
I definitely believe in the appreciate today motto, life should be appreciated every day, not just when it's all good.
hope you have a good school year.
happy september ♥
I find it hard to believe that my father has been gone 15 years. There is so much I would love to share with him. It really does teach me to appreciate my family. My boys would love the butterfly wing, they want to bring all sorts of parts and pieces into their room!
