I'm glad you enjoyed the post...I worried about the sonnet, thinking it may be to out of place here, but I wanted it to stand on it's own with glorious florals, and posted it anyway.<br /><br />Your comment was a nice read and I enjoyed it Raybeard. And please do stop in at Jon place sometime. He is one of the fabulous rare birds we don't seem to have enough of these days. He always has something of interest posting.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-74949129436353973642018-04-17T09:27:09.481-04:002018-04-17T09:27:09.481-04:00Ya gotta love the Willy!Ya gotta love the Willy!whkattkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303183404359234168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-72524385509222906602018-04-17T05:30:01.087-04:002018-04-17T05:30:01.087-04:00From Shakespeare's mouth to the goddesses'...From Shakespeare's mouth to the goddesses' ears.

I see that this #98 I last revised last August and will come up again for re-polishing in just 8 days time on my variable number method of selection.<br />This one is definitely one of his superior creations in the field. It's also an example of the enormous variety of conceits which the author plays on to represent the sometimes separation of himself and the admired youth he has such a crush on - and it only underlies the shame where the accent in the Sonnets is so often put on the short sequence of the mysterious 'dark lady' Sonnets rather than those to the young man where so many more of the poems were addressed, the latter having often been considered as unseemly for 'polite' company, despite a greater number of them being evidence of true genius. <br /> <br />Thanks for making this a subject for your blog. I think it must be the first time I've seen the Sonnets mentioned at all in anyone's blog without myself having brought up the subject first. Now I'm feeling well pleased!Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-27661270242974467452018-04-16T22:45:10.152-04:002018-04-16T22:45:10.152-04:00True...throw in some gin and it's even better....True...throw in some gin and it's even better.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-42436644178836838942018-04-16T22:43:49.848-04:002018-04-16T22:43:49.848-04:00Just watch what leg she is pulling!!!!!I can't...Just watch what leg she is pulling!!!!!I can't have a future husband being mis-handled!Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-80115050131658464092018-04-16T22:41:23.324-04:002018-04-16T22:41:23.324-04:00Well dear great minds think alike!Well dear great minds think alike!Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-24660816256685208182018-04-16T22:38:37.902-04:002018-04-16T22:38:37.902-04:00A sonnet!!!!!

Usually, we start to experience the stifling humidity starting to smother us right about this time. Even the plants are confused. Two months ago, it was warm enough for the trees to release pollen that dusts our cars yellow. New leaves and buds have started growing but they seem stunted by the flip flopping weather.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-72683923390262745452018-04-16T13:45:57.378-04:002018-04-16T13:45:57.378-04:00Sooo-etc, even the mistress needs an occasional br...Sooo-etc, even the mistress needs an occasional breather I would think.
