Hope you had a great week and you are ready for a new week.
A week ago my brother found this beautiful butterfly on the ground.
We determined it could not fly. I said well I will take it home and keep it safe at least. I picked some zinnas and made sugar water for it. I thought it would be gone in a short time. Nope a week later and it is still here. Still not flying, but can climb around. It is now a pet butterfly. Still eating and drinking. We pick fresh zinna flowers everyday for it. Every morning I come out to see if it is still with us and it is. I know butterflies don't live long. This is a swallowtail. I will try my best to give a happy life.
It has been fun to watch it.
I was hoping the grandkids would be able to come see it, but they got sick this week. I got sick Saturday so no visits from them this week.
It was some type of respiratory thing. Wheezing and coughing, chills and aches. Not fun to get on my long weekend, but at least feeling better today. Back to school tomorrow.
I hope you have a wonderful week.

That's an interesting story, Cindee. It's nice that you are taking care of the butterfly for a while, as it isn't able to fly on its own, but they need the outdoors and sunshine and nature to live. I hope this butterfly gets lots of the pure nature that is so important for its survival. So sorry you and the grandkids have been sick. Those respiratory viruses are some of the worst ones, and that cough can sometimes last a long time. Feel better, Cindee, and take care.
