• OK - I know I'm not a fast runner.  I'm sure some people can walk faster than I run.  Last week, I was enjoying a new route when a sweet butterfly came alongside me.  We traveled together.  My butterfly friend dipped and soared.  I gasped and wheezed.  It was a beautiful moments until the butterfly tired of our travels and flew on ahead of me.  Yeah, I was beat by a butterfly.
• I found a tiny frog in my yard; he wasn't any bigger than a nickel.  I picked him up (yeah, I had my garden gloves on . . . didn't think I would touch it with my bare hands, did you?) and watched him for a moment wondering how such a tiny guy ended up in my yard.  Doesn't he know it's a desert here?  
• This week I noticed that the cows are getting fluffy.  That could only mean that winter is on the way and it'll be time to bundle up before we know it!
