Let’s Horse Around

Feeling the breeze swirl around me, I can barely contain my enthusiasm for the day.

The smell of the field invigorates me.

Can you beat me in a race?

Come on, mom, let’s horse around.

Queen or Monarch?

Although at first glance, this seems to be a Monarch, it is actually a Queen butterfly.

The Queen is a darker orange and has a more solid appearance compared to the stained-glass look of the Monarch.

Wise as an Owl?

Why do people think owls are wise?

Compared to other birds, they have difficulty learning even rudimentary tasks.

Maybe the appearance of their eyes suggests intelligence.

  • Do you know anyone who looks smarter than they are?
  • On the other hand, I know a few people who are smarter than they look.

Prickly Friend

Do you have a friend who is sometimes prickly, but you love him anyway?

Prickly friends have a solid operating system, but their user interface could use an upgrade.

Mud Bath

Have you ever had a mud bath?

The trusty internet tells me that mud baths relieve stress, soften your skin, and pull toxins out of your body.

How much mud does it take to give a mud bath to an elephant?

Lumberjack Dream

When I grow up, I want to be a lumberjack.

To practice, I’m teaching myself to do log-rolling.

My biggest challenge has been to find another elephant willing to practice with me.

Then, of course, I’ll need to move the log to water.

Hmmm. This may be more difficult than I planned.

Maybe I need a new dream.
