I Know a Little Pussy
-Traditional
I know a little pussy,
Her coat is silver grey,
She lives down in the meadow,
Not very far away.
She'll always be a pussy,
She’ll never be a cat,
For she’s a pussy willow,
Now what do you think of that?
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow… SCAT!

Wool Butterflies, Set of 16, Rainbow Colors, Nursery, Birthday or Easter Decor, Waldorf
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. ~Rabindranath Tagore
May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish blessing
Butterflies are self propelled flowers. ~R.H. Heinlein
If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~Author unknown
The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity. ~Attributed to George Carlin

Little Bird
-Traditional Nursery Rhyme
I saw a little bird go hop, hop, hop
So I said to the bird, won’t you stop, stop, stop
And was going to the window, to say how do you do,
When he shook his little tail, and far away he flew.

Cherry tree in bloom - wool fiber art, wall hanging, wool picture
Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now-AE HousmanLOVELIEST of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide. Now, of my threescore years and ten, 5 Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, 10 About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow. |

The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants
-Emily Dickinson
At Evening, it is not --
At Morning, in a Truffled Hut
It stop upon a Spot
And yet its whole Career
As if it tarried always
Is shorter than a Snake's Delay
And fleeter than a Tare --
'Tis Vegetation's Juggler --
The Germ of Alibi --
Doth like a Bubble antedate
And like a Bubble, hie --
I feel as if the Grass was pleased
Of Summer's circumspect.
To have it intermit --
This surreptitious scion
Had Nature any supple Face
Or could she one contemn --
Had Nature an Apostate --
That Mushroom -- it is Him!

Blue Skies
-Irving Berlin
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things lookin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things lookin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, oh how they fly
