The Petrified Dragonfly
Look what I found today!! This is my last week of nannying for the family I’ve been working for in the mornings twice a week over summer. The little ones have warmed up to me finally, today was especially fun. I’m really going to miss getting paid for playing with little kids the way I did today. =) Anyway, I found this dragonfly when we were spending time out in the backyard this morning. It’s perfectly petrified. It’s complete, not tears in the wings except for a tiny bit on one edge. Christina was a little freaked out about the “bug”, but she was chattering away about the “dakon fwy,” so she learned a new word today. I’m keeping it in a resealable babyfood container which seems to be keeping it from getting knocked around to shreds. Pretty damn cool souvenir for a really fun job. <
