Good News

A L O H A From Honolulu!
 How can I claim
to understand another
when I am a 
mystery to myself?






Spathodea campanulata,
commonly known as the African tulip tree

Respond intelligently even 
to unintelligent treatment.
                Lao Tzu 



The lovely flowers embarrass me,
They make me regret
I am not a bee.
Emily Dickinson

Word are like bees–
some create honey and
others leave a sting.

That pigeon better fly away fast before Pixie pounces! Lovely post today. It is definitely a happy day.

I saw the African tulip tree and thought I wonder if it grows in the north. Nope. Then I read it has been nominated as among 100 of the "World's Worst" invaders. And unfortunately, the flowers have a natural defense killing bees. And the wood is useless. Cut those bad boys down!

Yes! I am a mystery to myself. What a truthful quote. Thanks for linking up, Cloudia.

Mike Golch said...

Awesome quote. At least I'm understanding myself better.

Andrea @ From The Sol said...

Your first quote is so true as you cannot know or love another until you have learned to love yourself. I Love your bees. We need more bees as they are being killed off by mans misuse of insecticides. A sad truth. Love Pixie as always. Stay well, Claudia ...
