Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

I posted a picture of two butterflies previously. Here's another, single one. It's an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail.

Tonight, I had to take some trash up to the dumpster. Garbage goes into a rented dumpster. The dumpster is too far away to walk to it, so I have to carry it up there in the car. On the way back down the driveway, I saw my sister-in-law doing something beside her house. I stopped. She was pulling cattle panels out of the weeds. I helped her, and before long, we had dragged several panels out into more tall grass. We set them up and moved a young lady's horse into them so it could graze. That's probably the most interesting thing I've done all day, if not all week. The young lady is very nice and respectful, but she's bored, I think. I wish we could have invited her to dinner, though my sister-in-law had already fed her.
