SONG FOR SEPTEMBER

Try to remember the kind of September

When life was slow and oh, so mellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When grass was green and grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When you were a tender and callow fellow

Try to remember and if you remember then follow

Try to remember when life was so tender

That no one wept except the willow

Try to remember when life was so tender

And dreams were kept beside your pillow

Try to remember when life was so tender

And love was an ember about to billow

Try to remember and if you remember then follow follow follow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

Although you know snow will follow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

Without a hurt the heart is hollow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

The fire of September that made us mellow

Deep in December it's nice to remember and follow

Side Trip Butterfly Pavilion Westminster Colorado

While on our 'Road Trip Destination Colorado', I took a morning out to visit the Butterfly Pavilion. It was a quick drive from our hotel. It was early on a Friday so it was me and a couple of bus loads of kids on a field trip. It was really fun watching them interact with the bugs, sea creatures, and butterflies. That's the kids you hear on both of the videos.


The first room was the 'bug room'. Most of the kids lined up for a chance to have Rosie, the tarantula, crawl on their arm. I passed the opportunity. (No, I didn't get a picture of Rosie.) There was also a bee hive in glass. I looked for the queen, but she was hiding that day. Most of the bugs were in hiding so I ventured to the sea creatures exhibit. 

Then, on to the butterflies. Everyone has to enter one door into a waiting area. Then, when everyone is in and that door is closed, the door to the butterfly area can be opened. It is almost like a rain forest with butterflies everywhere. Some are posing; some are flying; and some are hiding. Some were even feeding. Who knew that butterflies could be aggressive? (Check out the video at the end of the photos.)
  

Brown Butterfly

When brown butterfly opens,
it is blue.

Then, hit the gift shop and purchased a few things-a garden solar butterfly light and a butterfly for my printer's tray. Fun morning on my own!
