Aren't these butterflies pretty? I think so too. I took these photos last summer.
I don't know what was going on, but last week our backyard was full of butterflies. It was like being in a butterfly house at the zoo or a fair. They covered the back of our house...I counted over 30 in about a ten foot section. When we went outside they would all flutter up into the air and come down and land us. I've never seen anything like it...it was almost magical. Needless to say, my children were thrilled.
See, this is what they looked like. I'm not sure of the species. I'll have to check that out.
You're lucky I didn't put up photos that are a reflection of the way that I am feeling today. You would have seen a picture of my tired face. I didn't want to scare you. It was one of those nights. You know...your so tired, so you go to bed and POP an hour later your awake. That was me.
So, I get up and go to the bathroom and then lie back down. Then the thinking starts. Boy, my knee hurts...I wonder if I should get up and take something for that? No, I'll just lie here...hmm, what do I need to get for the cabin this weekend? Yogurt for smoothies...okay, how many of us are there?...1,2,3,4,5...okay, five of us...now, if we want to make smoothies twice a day how many containers do I need?...hey, I gotta make sure I get a birthday card from Target tomorrow...maybe I should get up and write that down...no, I can remember...card, card, card, card, card...okay, hopefully it is stuck into my brain now...oh, I never figured out the smoothie thing.
This went on and on until finally I was starting to feel tired again and then...it started to lightening and thunder. I felt like I went to sleep when it was time to wake up.
Hopefully, I will be refreshed and rejuvenated after a few days up at the lake. Let's hope. Speaking of that, I think that I will give you a peek into my cabin next week. That will be a nice change. It's pretty cute...I think you'll like it.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Tricia :)
Your pictures of the butterflies are GORGEOUS!! What an awesome experience that must have been.
ReplyDeleteI've had those sleepless nights before... NOT fun. Hope you have a wonderfully restful time up at the cabin this weekend!

ReplyDeletebless your heart. I hope you got rest this weekend...I hate restless nights like that. Sometimes it's our creative nature taking over. Can't wait to see your cabin!
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious of your butterflies! How amazing.
ReplyDeleteHope your trip to your lake house does the trick for you. It is terrible when you can't sleep!
i love butterflies!!! i went into this little butterfly exhibit in a room where there were plants and butterflies everywhere!! your photos are beautiful and i hope you get rest.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful creatures. Even the most plain is exquisite when you examine the wing details. I love visiting the butterfly house at the Melbourne zoo.Butterflies in large numbers really are a sight to see.
ReplyDeleteSleepless nights are the worst aren't they? I have a meditation track on my iPod for that very reason -it always sends me to sleep :)
Beautiful blog! x
Your butterfly pictures are beautiful. How fortunate you are to have so many butterflies visit at once.
ReplyDeleteYou just described the kind of night I had last night. I was so tired but I could not fall asleep...until it was time to get up! I'm up now but I wish I could go back to bed and get a good night sleep.
