Biblical Proportions

I kid you not when I say that the amount of butterflies I have seen in the last three days have been of Biblical proportions. Swarms of these pale yellow numbers flying everywhere around town. Gusi had to squint his eyes shut at the store the other day as we walked from the car to the door of the store--and we were parked four feet from the door--because there were so many butterflies swarming around. And somehow with the butterflies have come all kinds of creepy-crawlies and even creepy-jumpies. There are heaps of bugs coming in to the house. Heaps! Bugs are everywhere. Everywhere.

And why are there bugs in every corner now? The winds. The rainy season is coming to an end and with that come the winds from the desert and the winds bring something new each year. Apparently there have been swarms of locusts, grasshoppers and ants in the past. This year it is butterflies. I feel pretty ok about the butterflies I have to say...it could have been much worse. Sure there are other bugs running about, but the butterflies are overwhelming. Plus, when you add the swarms of butterflies to the goats that are down your street, and people walk around your neighborhood in long flowing robes, you do begin to wonder what time and place you are actually living in.
