Why this title?

I have been thinking about starting a blog for some time and recently a friend gave me a little nudge to start one. I had a bit of a difficult time coming up with a title and I happened to come across this poem that I enjoyed. So this is why I titled my blog Blue Skies and Butterflies. Here is the poem:

Blue sky and clouds that billow
Leaves swaying upon the willow
Under the maple children play
Enjoy the shade of summer day

Sunshine high reflects in streams
Kids chase rainbows in sun beams
Ice cream drips upon small chins
Excitement builds summer begins
Sounds of laughter mid blue skies

Amusement parks and butterflies
National parks wonderful sighs
Dandelions in meadows of green

Bouquets for mom beauty is seen
Up hill hikes and frogs that hop
Tomatoes, corn fresh grown crops
Thunder beckons summer eves
Echoes softly in rustling leaves
Revel at dusk chasing fireflies
Fluttering beauty of dragonflies
Lord above blessed and created
Infinite beauty makes us elated
Enjoy summer sights and sounds
Splendor of Heaven so abounds
