Found an echo moth on the ground that didn't move for hours, so I put my hand out and she climbed on and hung out with me for a few hours.
Me and the kids discovered a Hawk Moth yesterday. He must have just come out of his cocoon because his wings were straight back at first. He climbed up on my hand and started stretching them out and vibrating them really fast like he was trying to strengthen them before taking flight or something.
Anyways, he was awesome looking and I hope he hangs around for a while so we can observe him. (He was still on the porch this morning)

The idea that I'll never be witness or experience anything astonishing in this modern age.
Grandparents and parents arguably lived through the biggest 100 years of human advancement in history (flight - moon in 60-something years). Grandparents witnessed or lived during communism/WW2/rise of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, parents saw some of that, the cold war, Vietnam, etc.
When the 10 year anniversary of killing Bin Laden came I thought about whether I'd be able to explain the significance/mystique about it to my son, and I'm not sure whether something like that will register with a future generation or not. I know overall the stuff I'm talking about is a blip in human history, but it still feels like our meaningful events are decreasing in significance.

We planted a drake elm about 15 years ago, we sold the house about 3 years ago. Owner removed it and several other trees including a nice Bradford pear. Also remove a few flower beds - that’s their choice.
But it was a little bummer.

I wouldn’t hold out hope. The world may get much more interesting soon
