Ray Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder

If you've never read Ray Bradbury's short story, A Sound of Thunder, you definitely should. It tells a haunting story about how past acts effect the future. A butterfly plays a key role.

I was reminded of this story when I was walking to my car in the Trader Joe's parking lot and came across two butterflies resting in the middle of the asphalt. It's a miracle they weren't run over by all the parking cars. I picked each one up and brought it to the wood chips along the building. I hope I did my part for the future.

Sprucing up the patio

I'm sure you'll recall that we take special care of the patio at St. Anne's. We do this for the residents who cannot travel far beyond the building. Many of them come in their wheelchairs or walkers to sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the expansive yard. Around the patio we've planted edibles and flowers for them to enjoy.

Right now it's tulip season!

Lettuce for picking.

We planted two new planting boxes full of flowers: two poppies and one called Solar Fire.
