Frantic lunch

Not a perfect shot: the butterfly just wouldn't stay still long enough (definitely an American one; a French one would have enjoyed every morsel over a period of 3 hours and a few bottles of good wine...)

Crazy weather nite and early day up and down the Eastern coast: tornadoes and diluvian rains -- very unusual. I felt like I was watching a bad made-for-TV catastrophe movie, except the casualties are real...

Also decided today, after tending to my husband, that nursing would not be a viable job stream for me: I just don't have the patience. My hat's off to the men and women doing this for a living!
