for take a word: sheet music
the song "to a wild rose" is a beautiful song if you've never heard it.

==================
for ICAD #21, geode, (the "index card a day" challenge sponsored by daisy yellow art), this one inspired me to write a story.
****************************************
In 1928, not-yet famed geologist Giancarlo Monfrerer went
digging in the caves of Flamorvia and happened upon his most significant find,
a geode so stunningly blue that he could only think of his late wife Beatrix Gertrudis,
his one and only love, symbolized by the blue butterfly he imagined to always be
flying above him. He named the geode Beatrix’ Blue Butterfly and this find, this
marvelous find, is the one thing that finally got him in the great geology
tomes of his home country Lemuroritana. If you ever visit Lemuroritana, you
will find this bright and shiny gem, encased in glass in the Montfrerer Museum,
along with other amazing gems uncovered later by the great Giancarlo. Founded
by Ginacarlo’s loving nieces and nephews, the museum was a way to remember their
beloved aunt and uncle, both who died too young, while so full of sparkle; may
they rest in peace.
