A Marine Blue
was in the Sweet Marjoram.
I made a wish when I saw her.
I had never seen a Marine Blue before.
and the Gray Hairstreaks
are common sights,
now that the mint is in bloom.
I still make a wish when I see them.
Today is Friday the 13th.
A lucky day in my world view.
I have been reading about
superstitions.
I have been learning about
folk ways and good luck.
I do love the good spider
but not on buttered bread!
Another day of heat advisories.
Still we have had no rain.
I have told the bees
about our need for rain.
It was lucky I saw the Marine Blue.
A very sweet surprise.
I am wishing for rain.
I am wishing for a cool down.
We went out into the countryside last night
so we could watch the Perseid meteor shower.
I made lots of wishes.
Happy Friday the 13th.
Make a wish on a shooting star.
Look for surprises in your summer garden.

Dear Sherry....the butterflies are beautiful. Rare or common each has a special place in the garden.
It is always special seeing a rare visitor for the first time....
My mother is terribly supersticious. I have tried very hard to rid myself of them.
They took over my life at times when I was a little girl. Strange times......
We have had heavy rain today and I am so pleased. The trees and large shrubs needed it.
I do hope you get cooler temperatures and rain soon. I understand the anxiety a dry garden causes.....
Have a wonderful weekend......
I have never seen a Marine Blue either Sherry. You lucky duck. I will get out today to see if any are migrating through here. What fun on the 13th too.
Hello Sherry ...I always learn so much when I stop by to visit ~ your posts are wonderful ♥ Very, very hot here too, a cooling rain sounds good :-)
Happy 13th!
Sherry, that marine blue is so pretty! I wonder what her wing patterns would look like, done in embroidery?
When they say that eating a spider every morning is a good thing, maybe that just means that the day has to get better from there on out? It sure can't get any worse!
I have always thought that Friday 13 is lucky. I read that is pagan folklore and just decided to adopt this belief. And my daughter has too (on her own).
You have such interesting reading material. I don't think I'd eat a spider between buttered bread either!
Lucky you to see a marine blue. I hope you get your wish.
