A HELPING HAND....

--Crossing the yard I happened to come upon a butterfly who looked like it was struggling a tad trying to take off but couldn't seem to make it. Well being a sucker for butterflies in general I bent down and gently picked the little fellow up and set him down on a low hanging branch of a tree. He seemed to mellow out a bit and calmed down and sat there. Quietly enjoying the break I guess.
--I went about my business and didn't really give it another thought.
--It wasn't until later when mowing that I noticed an unusual amount of butterflies fluttering around. Well being one who always enjoys watching butterflies fluttering around I shut the mower off. And proceeded to watch  the little fellow's..
--It wasn't long before a couple landed on the handle of the mower and one landed on my arm. What they were up to I had no idea but sure did enjoy the show while it lasted.
--It wasn't until later when passing the tree where I had sat the little fellow I noticed he was gone. It was then I remembered the butterflies. I guess they were just trying to say thanks. Sure makes you wonder if a little kindness goes a long ways......
