a million flowers.

Posted on September 11, 2018 by beth

“bees do have a smell, you know,

and if they don’t they should,

for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.”

-ray bradbury – dandelion wine

    sounds intriguing…I could not teach that…as I got as far as biology and quit the sciences!

      that’s why i think they created this class. for those who are more into liberal arts, but still need/are interested in science. i think you would have fit right in.

        so we are in alliance–
        we both truly dodge science!
        but we may each be a poet–
        and don’t we cheerfully know it?
