Can you Tell Me?
Painting done for Lana Martinez by Miranda Koerner
Can you tell me,
Oh can you tell me,
Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Do they duck under flowers?
Do they use leaves as umbrellas
Or simply float between drops without a care?
Can you tell me,
Can you tell me,
Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Do they wrap themselves in snug cocoons?
Or do they brave the world and venture into the wet day,
With only tiny rain boots and an air of frivolity?
Oh, if you can,
If you can,
Tell me where butterflies go when it rains,
So I can go there too.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! A peek in to the Blond Duck’s life as a reporter tomorrow!

That painting is just too cute! It fits so well with the poem!
I think I’d like to know where butterflies go, too!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier and leaving a comment. Have a great week!

Nice painting–thanks. Maybe butterflies have a special
place of protection to weather the storms. I wish such
a place for you and all. Maybe it is right in front of each
of us.

Rain boots on a piggie are adorable! It’s raining here today, and this makes me want to go look for some butterflies.

Sounds like a question my young daughter would ask me–the kind I never have the answer for.

I’d like to see where they magically disappear to as well. Must be heavenly there. Love the accompanying painting, too!
Have you missed you! Lovely to be in your space again. XOXO
