Oh, if you are considering adding nature photos here, could I request the night owl?

At 5:41am on September 29, 2009, Dawn M. Miller said…: I see your work, and am sometimes disappointed that I did not have you in my beginning metals classes. By the time I was working with you, I was kinda already set in my ways... I do enjoy your work though, and it will still have an impact on me. I hope to work with more mechanisms in the future! Thanks.

Tadas named the new black swallowtail butterfly, "Wing." Yesterday, we turned our master bathroom into a butterfly house. We are patiently waiting for the rest of the butterflies to emerge. Today's secret ingredient...mashed watermelon.
