Butterflies

12/9/09




















For some reason today I felt like being a bit creative, so I printed out a few Monarch Butterflies, coloured them in and stuck them to my bed head. I think my bedroom could do with a bit more colour. They remind me of the days when my brother and I were little, we used to go down to the paddock behind our house and look for caterpillars. Then we'd take them home and keep them as pets, watching them spin their own chrysalis and turn into a beautiful Monarch Butterfly. Those wonderful days of running around, eating watermelon and running through sprinklers.

Paddi

This is my dog - Paddi.
I never realized how wonderful she is until today.

This afternoon, my friend and I were driving home from the city when a dog ran out in front of my friends car. Her tag said "LIL". She injured her back legs and was frightened and in shock. I called the ranger and we stayed with her for half an hour while we waited for them to come to take her to the vet. Sitting on the footpath with Lil on my lap made me think how sad I would be if anything happened to Paddi. She might just be a dog, but she has this amazing personality of her own. My friend later got a call from the ranger to say that the Lil would be fine. I feel somewhat proud of myself for staying with her, and glad that other people cared about her too.

Bandaids, are truly wonderful.
I don't know how I could ever handle new shoes without them.
