My passion for butterflies is apparent throughout these poems. My mother is responsible for passing the love of butterflies on to me after she passed away in 2000. One of my poems in particular (Pain’s Inspiration) is special because it was inspired by my mother, my dad and oldest brother who are no longer with us. This is a book compiled of poems that I have written during my lifetime. You can see what a full life I have had and hope it is inspirational for you to follow your dreams even when difficulties arise. I also have books about my life published on Amazon.com.

Oh, what an awesome work of art is the majestic monarch butterfly. Thrilling to watch bold black and orange wings fluttering in the sky. They joyously perform their duty pollinating from flower to flower. So delicate, humble, and vulnerable yet are blessed with vast power. Hard times they have going through the four stages of their short life. From egg to caterpillar that eats all day to a chrysalis full of strife. To become a beauty spreading wings of a new creation. With the plight of a dwindling population. Autumn brings a mission to put forth a big effort indeed. As they navigate a migration flying southwest at slow speed. To hibernate in mild winter instead of a cold death with no pardon. When Spring comes the mothers-to-be go to find a milkweed garden. To lay her 300 eggs that start a new generation of monarchs who pollinates. As she wonders if all the milkweed dies, will we do something that resonates. How much we love the insects and birds that travel back and forth to spread. Pollen that is needed to give us fruits & vegetables to go with our daily bread. So it is not clear how we can keep the earth looking like a park. When we keep stealing the habitat from the monarch!

Did you know that the name “Capresso” is the combination of Cappuccino with Espresso? The brand name Capresso was developed in 1994 by the U.S. leader in making premium coffee equipment for the home, JURA Inc. of Switzerland. They produce coffee equipment worldwide for over 50 countries. Several of the innovated Capresso products have been featured on TV and in magazines as well as the Internet. Many of their products have been the first of its kind in the industry such as coffeemaker/ grinder combinations. This Capresso Burr Grinder review will tell you about the Infinity burr grinder model that comes in two durable finishes of black and brushed silver for around $100-150. One of the easiest ways to improve the taste of home brewed coffee is to grind whole coffee beans fresh immediately before brewing. The basis for grinding coffee beans is to generate a larger surface area for the hot water to extract the flavor and oils from the beans. If coffee is ground too far in advance, the exposure to air causes the flavor to be released making for a weak cup of coffee when the grounds are brewed.
