From Drudgery to Beauty!

Believe it or not,  there are times when my kids make me mad!

When I walk downstairs in the morning and see all the “stuff” on the counters,  I feel used!

And when I see tons of recyclables sitting on the counter, my blood begins to boil!

Am “I” the only one capable of gathering up this stuff and taking it to the blue box in the garage?

You get the idea…..

So, this morning,  as I was trudging my way to the garage,  arms loaded with all matter of materials

*what* should I see?

I hate to admit it.

I literally threw all the “junk” down to the ground.

After all,  there was more important work to do!

I rushed up the stairs and grabbed the Nikon.

For there is little more beautiful than the beauty of a Swallowtail Butterfly!

  • I completely know that feeling!!! My kids look at me as though I have lost my mind when I start yelling and complaining about the messes they leave for me…

    Wow. What a beautiful butterfly: and what a blessing to stumble upon it as you did.

    Good luck with any recycling training!
