When I looked up, I saw that a black swallowtail butterfly had become trapped inside the screen.
She probably would have been fine, but I was afraid she'd fly into the spinning fan, or worse, not find her way off the porch before the evening sun warmed up the west side of the house and baked her like a blackberry pie.
So I decided to try and shoo her off the porch. She FREAKED and flew all around the porch with me in hot pursuit. I turned off the fan and let it stop before I proceeded.


I knew I hadn't harmed her wings because I was extra careful. Apparently she realized I wasn't a threat and decided to hang out for a while.
After a few minutes, she fluttered off towards the purple Rose-a-Sharon bush.
I took this as a good omen. When I set back down to my story, the pieces fell into place like an easy puzzle.
Thanks little butterfly.
I suggest this site to my friends so it could be useful & informative for them also. Great effort.

ReplyDeletethank you dear
If I were to write outdoors in the summertime, as you do, I'd never be able to get my mind on anything other than that scene. Sometimes though, when you are stuck, it's best to fly off on the wings of the butterfly.
ReplyDeleteWe would hope to see butterfly on the acknowledgment page. ;-D
