Lazy days of summer

I've been having a day of total inertia. I keep flitting about from one project to another, not accomplishing a thing. I've had two days like that this week and a small part of me is starting to learn to just go with it. Part of making my own schedule is being able to recognize when I need to just step away and take a break. But only a small part of me. I took an hour or two to luxuriate on the couch and finish a flashy novel I've been in the thick of. But maybe I should have just hopped in the car and gone to the lake. Instead, I went back to plodding along, thinking I would get somewhere. Nope. Hasn't happened. Oh well… In the meantime, here is a lovely butterfly I saw a few days ago. I don't remember ever noticing such detail in a butterfly before. It was very patient with me let me snap a few photos before flitting on to its next task.
