Rescued

27 May 2007

This fun photo of Mary with a butterfly on her hat is just one of the cute photos I got of her and her new friend.  She’s very photogenic!  As for the butterfly, it seems he was the victim of a brutal air attack by a spider.  Mary watched the spider knock the butterfly out of the sky, saw where it fell, and quickly shooed the wayward spider away.  Silly spider didn’t seem to know we only allow them to live in our space with the understanding that they attack and kill the mosquitoes!  Anyway,  Mary coaxed the stunned butterfly onto her finger, and eventually onto her hat, where he stayed all afternoon, all evening, and actually was still there the following morning!  Alive, but perhaps not well—he will at least have the chance to live his final days in peace, with his rescuer, Mary.

For the record–day two of Memorial Day weekend at faire.  More rain.  Yuck.
