OLD FAVORITE

 


“It was the bumblebee and butterfly 
who survived, not the dinosaur.”




Meridel Le Sueur (February 22, 1900 – November 14, 1996) was an American writer associated with the proletarian literature movement of the 1930s and 1940s. Born as Meridel Wharton, she assumed the name of her mother's second husband, Arthur Le Sueur, the former Socialist mayor of Minot, North Dakota.

  10. Oh, the butterfly has been around for so long, hasn't it? And it's still as beautiful as ever.

    Have a peaceful weekend, Denise. I hope you see something wonderful around your neck of the woods this weekend. I have been seeing the mourning doves lately. They come and pick up pine needles and fly away and do it all over again. ; )
