Mud-puddling
Mud-puddling is a behavior seen in butterflies and other insects by which they sip moisture and nutrients from wet soil or rotting plant material. Even though I know that puddling is part of its nature, there is still something a little disconcerting about seeing a beautiful, delicate butterfly sitting in the mud. I never can seem to shake that unsettling feeling that it ought to be up gently floating on a breeze or drinking nectar from an alluring flower.
“There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” ~Carl Sandburg
Bullfrog
“Every journey begins with a single hop.” ~Kermit the Frog

Ready to go walking?
Our neighbor’s dog knows what time our dog goes walking each day, and shows up just in time to join her. Our daily walks wouldn’t be the same without her.
“This, then, is the test we must set for ourselves; not to march alone but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us.” ~Hubert H. Humphrey
Sunset years
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ~Ronald Reagan
