sounds of the seasonal interview

got up early today to enjoy the morning without having to rush to get ready for the BIG 8 hour interview. coffee and some porch time. i have planted a half a dozen plants that were recommended to me as "attractive to butterflies" or "butterfly inducing" if you will. i have waited patiently for a few months and have seen less butterflies than i normally do this time of year. this morning, i was pondering the up-coming day and i finally saw one! orange and black and dancing all over the garden and resting for several landings on the orange flowers that matched her coloring. my neighbor brian who works at palmer's nursery on corrine has taken a butterfly course at leu gardens...note to self...you should take a class instead of teaching one for a change. anyhoooo....that butterfly was really gorge and when i couldn't see her on the flowers anymore, i looked down and saw a huge shadow of her on the sidewalk...jus made a phone call to my pal and colleague pat and while talking to him i went on the porch and saw (insert bad tya joke here) another butterfly dancing around with the first one. this one was black and yellow and they were doing some serious aerial martha graham but naked! so beautiful and just so happy that today of all days that that was what i had to wake up to! today is the BIG day after doing my job for two years on an emergency cover basis, i finally get to interview for it. i am confident that what shall be shall be and that no door has ever closed for me where another has not opened. really happy that one of my fave cable music station "sounds of the season" has stopped playing anita bryant singing GOD BLESS AMERICA which they did all last weekend and that they have switched back to the chillaxin groove. as i started to write this a group who i had never heard before VERTIGO DELUXE were werkin a tune called EVERYTHING IS GONNA BEE ALL RIGHT. butterflies and channel 401....summer happy...
