Nature Rescue

We were leaving the store the other day, and the temperature was already racing towards 100. I looked down and spotted a beautiful Luna Moth. The poor little thing was stuck to the asphalt, and it wasn’t going to make it. So I gently picked it up and placed it on my shoulder, and brought it home.

The kiddos were fascinated by the Luna Moth, and wanted to keep it as a pet. I found a spot for it on the neighbor’s creeping myrtle bush, and it looked happy, well happy for a moth.

Dylan asked about the moth all day, and wanted to visit it as often as possible. It flew off though, once it had it’s strength back. He was happy with our little rescue mission.

Almost August

picture-0136

It is way too busy around here…

We are wrapping up a busy week at VBS, and in just a few short weeks it is time for school to start. Summer is winding down and there is still so much to do before Fall gets here. The month of August looks like so far there is something on the calendar for every single day of the month, and I need to get my monthly dinner menu together too. Well the Miss just woke up from her little nap, so I guess it is time to get back to it. How is your Summer going?
