It’s a beautiful day. It’s 5:00 and it’s 75 degrees with a barely perceptible breeze. Birds are chirping, bees are buzzing and butterflies are flitting about. Ah, spring.
Lets spray paint something!!
I dragged out several of my old frames and my trusty can of “Canyon Black” and began my ugly old frame transformation. As I began painting, I noticed a beautiful butterfly heading my way…. Right through a dissipating cloud of spray paint.
You guys? I got a butterfly stoned.
That poor thing went immediately from a light, beautiful flutter to a kamikaze ricochet. Never have I seen such a sporadic flight pattern. Up, down. High, low. Zig, zag. I’ve seen drunk people with better coordination.
Now I’m going to have to figure out something else to do with these frames, or every time I look at them I am going to be reminded of that time I corrupted a butterfly. Sheesh.
Well you didn’t mean it right? It’s beautiful here too. I love this time of the year.
You’re so right with that quote about church! I just meant that I have so many friends who grew up with no religious background and they never found any when they were grown up. Even though I didn’t like the Catholic church much, I knew there was something to God and spirituality and it was the springboard to my search.
I’m enjoying your humour on your blog!
I have tears, that is hilarious. You gave the butterfly the time of its life!

No it doesn’t sound stalkerish! I am beyond flattered and appreciative…. (because no one who lives here pays much attention to what I say, I can tell you that much!) 😉 Lord love ya!!!
OH. my. That was hilarious!!!
First you’re trying to ruin the ozone with your cans of paint and now you’re attacking the beautiful innocent butterfly. As if their life isn’t short enough as it is! But I guess you could say you made it a bit happier!
OMG!! I am laughing out loud and had to read this post to my hubby!! YOu crack me up. I can just hear the sweet butterfly music as he flies into your paint and the record scratch as he wigs out!!
LOVE IT!!!! Keep it up!!

LOL! That is SO funny. I mean that in the most humane nice way possible. I’m just picturing the butterfly floating along peacefully and entering a haze of some sort, and coming out on the other side in an “altered state”. You should totally keep the frames and look at them when you need a little laugh.
Funny stuff.
There was once this spider in my sink. I tried to wash him down the drain, but he was determined to hang on. Finally I washed him, but then I felt really bad…and kinda half-prayed he would live. Later that day he was back in my sink and I was so glad I hadn’t killed him that I left him there and thought that if he didn’t bother me, I wouldn’t bother him…but then he just sat there in my sink for days, not moving and I had to wonder if I’d given him brain damage. Then there were the fish I had to flush down the toilet…my husband doesn’t let me have pets anymore…
HAHA! That’s hilarious! I once accidentally dropped a tadpole that I had scooped up and it landed on the mud, then went back in the water and was swimming all lopsided.
I felt really, really bad!
That is so funny!! Poor butterfly!!! Love your sense of humor!!!
