THE SWEETNESS OF THE LEMONADE...ATTRACTED THAT LOVELY BUTTERFLY, TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS UNAFRAID OF ITS FLIGHT'S PATH. THIS IS A SIMPLE OBSERVATION THAT DISPLAYS THAT ANSWER TO SO MANY OF OUR WORLD'S PROBLEMS. THE BIBLE SUMS IT UP LIKE THIS, '...A SOFT ANSWER, TURNS AWAY WRATH...' AND A OLD CLICHE' SUMS IT LIKE THIS, '...ONE CAN CATCH MORE BEES WITH HONEY THAN WITH VINEGAR...' AND A SONG SUMS IT UP LIKE THIS, '...WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE, SWEET LOVE...'. WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

like the butterfly, and drinking such sweet nectar of the lemon!!!

Oh, how refreshing is cool lemonade on a warm day, but even better... the words you write of the butterfly's path to your glass. Lovely, whimsical words that leave me as refreshed as... a tall, cool glass of yellow lemonade. Enjoyed this immensely! Joy L. Hale

Maybe that yellow butterfly hoped you'd have spiked that iced lemonade with a little vodka. Well! You never know. Hahaha
