     Last night after noticing the full moon and beautiful feel of nature around me I noticed something by our front door. At first glance, I thought it was a note but, I quickly realized it was a living creature. I called my husband and son to come admire it with me.

After inspecting it for a while I ran to get my phone to take a picture and capture the moment. Later, I searched Luna moths and became more excited as I read about them.

Time does not stand still. May we all be able to smile and know we gave our best at the close of our 7 days.
