Jane at Levant: A few of my favourite Ds

Tuesday 9 August 2011

A few of my favourite Ds

Here are a few of my favourite Ds for ABC WeDnesday - How quickly a week passes anD into the next letter we go!

D is for Dragon a mythical creature - a favourite of mine - featured in tales of old and also the national symbol of Wales

If you click on the picture above - search for the dragon - the picture is of my special people and one that I treasure

D is for Dandylion

D is for Donald Duck - I thought you might like this clip I did!

These are the Ducks at the Burwarton Show - they were having a very busy time - the tall Ducks are Indian Runners or so I was told - they were gorgeous!

This sheep was so smart - but I don't know his breed - does anyone know I wonder? maybe it begins with a D

The cattle were perfect Darlings - and so perfectly groomed and clean - munching away with not a care in the world

D is for Debut - and Metal Mickeys Debut at the Burwarton Show - all a bit of a fiasco - Mickey and his bits and instructions for erection needed to be dropped off at the show office the day before - to be strategically placed in the Scarecrow Trail by those in charge. Unfortunately Mickeys' bottomless wellies were misplaced and the picture above shows Metal Mickey in a stste of undress at the showground and with his pikel in the wrong hand!

Above - the scarecrow trail click on to see number 37 - Mickey was close to the sheep -

Mickeys name tag - well he could have got lost! his wellies did!

Metal Mickeys next day out will be at the Shrewsbury Flower Show later this week - where he will have a name change by deed poll of course and also maybe a sex change - so good luck to Metal Mickey and the charity scarecrows

Blogger is being stubborn and will not let me go in and finish my blog - sorry for the misdirection of Metal Mickeys picture and also any spelling mistakes.

And this is my poem for the Dandelion picture

Here's the Dandelion's rhyme
See my leaves with tooth-like edges
Blow my clocks to tell the time
See me flaunting by the hedges
In the meadow, in the lane
Gay and naughty in the garden
Pull me up - I grow again
Asking neither leave nor pardon
Sillies,what are you about
With your spades and hoes of iron?
Ypu can never drive me out
Me.the dauntless Dandelion

Poor Mickey. Great pictures and poem anyway. I love the dandelions, but not in my garden.

Dandelions make rather nice wine!
Poor footless Mickey!

This whole post is great and I love the first shots of the flower show. All the shots are good but those wide ones of all the flowers are my favorites.

If you visit my blog - please leave a comment I would love to hear from you

FAIRY -LED

The fairy people flouted me,
Mocked me ,shouted me
They chased me down the dreamy hill and beat me with a wand
Within the wood they found me ,put spells on me and bound me
And left me at the edge of day in John the miller's pond
Beneath the eerie starlight;
Their hair shone curd -white
Their bodies were all twisted like a lichened apple tree
Feather -light and swift they moved,
And never one they loved,
For all were full of dreams and dark designs on me.

With noise of leafy singing
And white wands swinging
They marched away amid the grass that swayed to let them through.
Between the the yellow tansies
Their eyes,like purple pansies,
Peered back on me before they passed all trackless in the dew.

Mary Webb - from the Spring of Joy

Three softly curved white sepals veined with light,

Three green-lined petals,guarding frugal gold,

And all so strong to fold or to unfold!

Snow thunders from the bending pines.How slight

This frail,sheathed stem! Yet all unbent it springs,

So swift in stoopings and recoverings.

In the pale sunshine,with frail wings unfurled,

Comes to the bending snowdrop the first bee.

She gives her winter honey prudently;

And faint with travel in a bitter world,

The bee makes music, tentative and low,

And spring awakes and laughs across the snow.

Mary Webb

Short Jokes of the day

Dress Code.

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Found on the web !! Part 2

Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.
Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
