This butterfly was the size of my hand

I was in the back today discussing thin set mortar with Ellen when she spotted this huge butterfly by the flowers. We both went for our cameras. It hung around for a few minutes waiting for us to photograph it on the Phlox.
She said she gets really big butterflies like this at her house but does not know what they are.

I am working on a mosiac which I was going to do 2 years ago... finally am starting the bird pond. I've never done thin set mortar before. Lets see how it works. I cannot find my nips anywhere. I even straightened out the barn a little looking for them.

  Every family should get together at Thanksgiving just to see one another and renew their bonds. Unfortunately Money was the topic this year. It is my hope everyone will be able to live a good life and provide themselves with the things they want. Would Frank and I be so popular if we were not so generous? We try not to think about that aspect of giving. It makes us happy and this is all that counts. Too bad more people are not like us. Damn us liberals. We want everyone to have some. I'd rather discuss art and think about nature than money... who wouldn't?

Lost Duck has a home

 This Northern Pintail Duck has been stranded in a pond for many months.  We don't know if he suffered a traumatic injury or is unable to fly, but he never left the pond when the weather turned and the other Ducks and Geese moved on. He would swim around the pond quacking a lot.    The Duck was rescued by a kind woman and is now living on a farm amongst Turkeys, Chickens, Ducks and Geese ,and has access to a heated barn! The people responsible for the rescue are going to be featured on the local TV news.
