dancing in the purple meadows

I went for a long walk before supper, to clear my head. It didn't work very well. Shall I tell you why?

Remember the meadows full of clover? I found out that it's actually alfalfa and....Well, the perfume was as intoxicating as ever. And not only that! I walked around the perimeter of two of them thar meadows this afternoon, laughing to see the dogs nearly disappear into the purple-flowered alfalfa, it's so tall. And hovering over the fields of purple were butterflies. Lots and lots of butterflies. Monarch butterflies and cabbage butterflies. It has been quite a while since I have seen quite so many Monarchs! The way the dogs were behaving, I think they enjoyed it too.
