G is for ... ???

Thanks to all who dropped by yesterday! The answer to yesterday's post was, FRUSTRATION. LOL. So glad you could all relate! ;o) This next one is going to be a tough, tough, toughy! If you actually look the word up in the dictionary, it has two quite different meanings. So, in order to play hard, I'm going to go with the not so common meaning ;o)
Clue: the state of mind is Francine's.

If you are new to this blog please read the note in the header above this post so you know what to do! Thanks!


"Francine, can you pass me the salt?" Tamara asks.
"Hmm?" Francine hums looking over the road at two kids playing Frisbee.
"Love. The salt." Tamara scrunches up her nose and contorts her mouth.
"Oh. Yes." Francine passes the ketchup.
Tamara drops her knife and fork with a clang and reaches across the table for the salt. She sprinkles salt over her fried potatoes and leans back in her chair with a sigh.
"So, what ya gonna do next week now that you got no bloody job?" Tamara asks.
"Job?"
"Yeah. Job. You know, the thing people do to earn a livin'."
"Oh!" Francine looks Tamara in the eye as if about to answer seriously. "Tammy ... have you ever wondered why only the yellow butterflies come in to our garden?"
