Today's button is white. It is the twin to the Peter Pan Blouse button.
The pearly white matched the opaque sky that was threatening rain and hiding the blue sky that the weatherman has predicted.I gathered white button, galoshes, a slicker and the pups and loaded up the car.
The bright green fields were slippery with the rain and the paths were sloppy with thick mud under my feet. I slogged alongside of the pups and there, standing at attention in the grass was one shiny white morning glory blossom.
At home I toweled the dogs off and packed up for the greenhouse. .
Mulching was my primary task today and 18 weigela bushes waited for me. On the few straggling pink buds remaining was a white collared hummingbird having breakfast. A tiny burst of white phlox hid among the withering weeds on the edge of my work space.
As I worked the cloud cover burned off and was replaced by a blue sky filled with the puffy white clouds that imitate all things fun and funny. White continued to visit me in unexpected places.
I peeled an orange for my lunch appreciating the white pulp protecting the fruit which gave way to a delicious treat thick with fragrance. A gauzy white butterfly danced on the edge of a plate sized maroon hibiscus flower.
Oh, what magic there is in carrying a simple white button in your pocket. And the day has just begun
