Butterflies are poopers too.

I was outside of the work house when I noticed a butterfly on a leaf. The butterfly was pleasant to observe. It was mostly black with blue on the lower wings, white on the upper wing tips, and just a little orange near the white. It held onto the leaf during intermitent gusts of wind. I approached it to get a closer look. The intricacy of its pattern was awe inspiring. As I came up on it, the butterfly folded its wings in order to fly away. Before leaving though, the butterfly raised its abdomen and excreted a drop of orange liquid. I assume it to be poop.

A Visit for a VISTA

My family will be visiting me today. My mother (Kathleen) and father (Jim) will be coming down along with both of my sisters (Rosalie, 11 and Jessica, 24). I am very excited about the visit. My sister lives in Germany, so I don't often see her anymore. And, I do not often hang out with my mother and father together (because they are divorced). They are bringing me a car. I happy that I will soon be able to burn more oil. Perhaps we will go to the Dairy Barn and the Kennedy Art Museum. Perhaps we will also take a hike in the woods so that I may harvest some sassafras root...
