Heaven was first grade when we got to use pens with nibs,ink pots and blotting paper. Since then I've been in love with words. Writing down my thoughts helps me to make sense of them. Blogging keeps them all in one place. Besides, I might not live forever. These "Chronicles" will help me sort the chaos in my head into some coherent thoughts, memories and stories which may, or may not, be of interest to anyone but myself. And, with a little bit of luck, to the odd passerby.

I have Not Lived In Vain
No, I did not help a fainting robin unto his nest again, but I saved this butterfly! They laughed hysterically when I came running into the house in search of an implement to free him......
But I had the last laugh as he fluttered off to freedom!
You're the Butterfly Whisperer! What was he tangled in? I haven't seen butterflies here all season and on Saturday I saw three of them and it looked like they were headed south. It's just amazing to me that such delicate little creatures actually migrate!

A worthy, valiant task. Who knows what the knock-on effect will be?
You saw a fellow creature in distress and you helped it. Good work.
oh no!!! what have you done?!? the fluttering wings of that saved butterfly may cause a typhoon halfway across the World...
open wide and take your spoonful of guilt like a good girl...
I thought the same thing as dianne. By the way, it's flooding big time in Thailand right now.
What a lovely thing to do!
I just love you...you're a girl after my own heart! blessings, marlene
You must have a very delicate and precise touch!
And a very kind heart. But I knew that, anyway!

What a good heart you have ! And maybe , if this butterfly weren't to flutter its wings tomorrow , something disastrous might happen ....?
We are kindred souls in this way.
Aww. It lives to flutter again.
THANK YOU!!! i was hoping SOMEONE (besides Auntia and me) still sings Witchy Woman ... crazy laughter in another room - bwah ha ha ha!!!
Such a lovely butterfly. Even the ugly things seem worth saving, somehow. I liberate Huntsman spiders so they don't get killed indoors!
So wonderful that you were able to help! I hope all is well there for you, too! :)
