Down in the shady woodland
Where the fern fronds are uncurled,
A host of green umbrellas
Are swiftly now unfurled.
Do they shelter fairy people
From sudden pelting showers
Or are the leaves but sunshades
To shield the waxen flowers?
"Mandrakes" by Minnie Curtis Wait
I thought this was a good poem for today....

It's is a lovely poem.
They do look like little umbrellas. Are you getting rain?
Our Mayapples are doing well! Lori
It is a great poem!
That was morning dew, but yes, we have been getting great rain too!
I do love your header shot. It looks so wonderful and free, you on the horse!
Oh thank you! That was Opal, one of my very difficult mules who disliked most every human. However, she and I were great pals and she'd do anything for me!
Beautiful!!!
