Butterfly Composition III

Welcome to my blog and thanks for following us during "Coffee Week".  The writings are created by me, Jennifer Alfia DiMarzo and the paintings presented are the original works of my husband, Dean DiMarzo. We hope that you may be able to join us Monday through Friday, throughout the next year on our creative journey! Enjoy!

Monica had returned.  This time with all of her body parts in tact.  I knew she wouldn't be placed into my antique coffee can ever again, nor would she be found flying off to any distant land.  She convinced me that she would stay with me and keep me company during all of the rest of my days and nights.  She was fascinated by circling around my head, at least seven times, before landing on my shoulder, as if trying to portray some sort of morse code.  The only message I gathered from this was that she thoroughly enjoyed being around me and that she looked forward to our daily ritual of sharing our sweet nectar together.  Joyful that she was near, my hands began tapping my canister like a little drummer boy.  The hollow, gentle sound it made echoed freely across the field.  Blue jays and robins started chirping strongly and began migrating closer to us.  A few of them were carrying what looked like their light suppers in their beaks.  They landed exactly where we were standing and dropped their worms neatly in a pile beside us.  Moments later, we heard the buzzing of bees and wondered if they too had planned on joining us.  Monica circled around my head seven more times, flapped her glorious wings and before I knew it had disappeared behind some large shrubbery.  She came back dragging seven small pieces of bright green palms.  They were just the appropriate size for the seven of us to have a comfortable seat at dinner.  Excitedly, I grasped my antique coffee can in one hand and began playing with a bit more vivacity, as if I now were in a small bongo performance band.  At the same time, my left hand succeeded in opening our fresh, daily jar of nectar.  The bees instantly reappeared.  We all obtained our seats as my hands began slowing down steadily, the birds ceased chirping and the bees finished buzzing.  We all sensed this was going to be quite a remarkable feast!  Monica circled another seven times.
