Forever Goatweed, Dear Lord Leafwing


Binge-watching season two of "Victoria" and can't make normal sentences now. My gowns are low on my porcelain white shoulders. White gloves extend to my elbows as I take a loop around the full lake at Oak Point. We have had over eight inches of rain in a week, and water rushes in the overflow channel below the dam.

Did Queen Victoria really rescue Prince Albert from drowning in an ice skating accident? Was my new washing machine really delivered less than twenty-four hours after purchase? Are goatweed leafwing butterflies just the most glorious surprises each February? Gloriana. Alleluia.
