A magnificent creation!

This morning, after finishing a long and difficult shift, I was thrilled to have a little change of pace and something different to talk about.  This beautiful specimen was found outside our facility....and in all my 60 + years I have never seen anything like this!

This is the Pandorus Sphynx moth.  http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Eumorpha-pandorus

Moths are to butterflies as dandelions are to petunias.  In other words, they are not regarded as highly. I believe, after seeing this, that they have been short-changed.  There is beauty in all things.  Everywhere....  You just have to stop and look.

Hello again!

It has been a while, hasn't it?  Life moves at such a fast pace.  There is little time to pause.  There's news, however, that must be told!

Please join me in welcoming Gryffen, who was gently birthed, at home, two weeks ago!

Gryffen joins his brother, Owen, and his sister, Lilah, to complete this beautiful little family.

Lilah and Owen visited nana and papa while Griffen was getting settled.  We went to Tudhope Park in Orillia where much fun was had by all!

Lilah was just a little upset to leave...but that was fixed quickly with "one more time, then!"

I found a farm that was still selling strawberries.  I had a marathon freezer jam making spree....and my freezer is full until I split the dole with family

And in those moments when the air is warm, I have spent my time here...

What is happening at your home?  Are you enjoying life?  I am!
