What I got..

May 25, 2011 13:15

This morning, something on the side of my house caught my eye. It was a moth. And not just any old moth, but one of the most cleverly camouflaged moths I've ever seen in my life. Here, have a picture.




Is that not gorgeous? And look at all the disguises it has. Not only is it green and sort of leaf shaped, but it looks to have a little twig on the top of its leaves...I mean wings, and its antlers are also shaped like wispy little leaves. That is one of the coolest things I've seen. Nature just fascinates me sometimes.

Look at how big it is. It's nearly the size of my hand. How awesome is that? It's gigantic!




(My commentary sounds like Randall discussing the nasty, bad ass honey badger. Honey badger don't care, it does what it wants. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg
NOT safe for work. Seriously.)

Anyway....

Speaking of fascinating nature, check out my rose. It's yellow!




It's pink! And yellow.







I have toes!

That's all on the same rose bush. It's just crazy how different the colors are. Some are solid yellow, some are solid pink, some are pink and yellow and some almost look orange. I love it! Love. It.

And this is the red, red rose growing wild in my backyard. There's also a ton of honeysuckle and mock orange growing back there, too. In the evening when it's really hot and humid, the air is thick with the perfume of hundreds of flowers. This is just blissful. Seriously, blissful.




Ahhhhhhh. I can't wait to have everyone over in a month for my housewarming shindig to show off all this beauty and love. ♥

Moths and flowers and critters on the porch. It just doesn't get much better than that.
