Freshly Brewed Challenge 46

The Violet and the Bee
by John Bannister Tabb

"And pray, who are you?"
Said the Violet blue
To the Bee, with surprise,
At his wonderful size,
In her eyeglass of dew.
"I, madam," quoth he,
"Am a publican Bee,
Collecting the tax
Of honey and wax.
Have you nothing for me?"

I found this cute little poem on one of the home school websites I use to print practice or fun worksheets for my kids. Hope it made you smile :)
I look forward to having the bees flying in my garden as my veggies start to bloom and grow.

This week at Freshly Brewed Challenges, we have a photo inspiration challenge for you. We are challenging you to use this as your inspiration.


Here are the cards that were created for this weeks challenge. Most of the FBCrew are out sick or have other personal things going on. Say a prayer for our girls this week!!! We love you all and hope that you are all well. HUGS!

Jeanette: NEW IMAGE Daisy with Flowers Digital Stamp
