Talk about patience ..... I love color but the black and white swallowtail steals the show !!!!<br /> Thrilled you have time off to relax and regroup ..... The tile and cement floors will talk back after a shift of work ..... I'm sure your hip feels that test !!!!<br /> Thanks for sharing....

Sorry about the rough floor...Howdy Judy & Emma,<br />Sorry about the rough floor hurting your hip!! I built a house once for a 'doofus' who wanted broken-rock faced<br />brick floors in his den and couldn't pursuade him not to!! After he moved in they tripped over the points and their sofa & chairs were rockin' & rollin'!!! I wouldn't do anything to the floor, because I'd warned him!!!<br />The flutterbys are beautimous and I can see the gator with my naked eyeballs!! Give Emma a hug & pat for us, please!! See if you can find some jell-inserts for your shoes; they work great and cushion your knees & hips!!!<br />I have some work boots with them in the soles and it's like walking on clouds!!!<br />Hope you can get some relief and don't have to leave your favorite job!!!butterbean carpenternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-23042043380873319302013-02-25T16:39:39.001-06:002013-02-25T16:39:39.001-06:00Come on over to our house and you can prop a lawn ...Come on over to our house and you can prop a lawn chair in our back yard and see a gazillion trains...I must warn you that ear plugs don't even work out there...You could blow an eardrum...That Tiger Swallowtail is amazing....never seen one until now...Spring??

I want to know what's in the cars and where they are going and to be used for what. Just seeing them go by is no fun. There are plenty of people who care that this box car is built differently from that box car, I'm just not one of them. So, take a picnic with you and enjoy being out there but don't be surprised if you just find it to be a noisy place.<br /><br />As to the floor, maybe a pair of boots with the gum rubber soles would help soften the impact? But, I'm with the people who say you should just say no to working the VC while you heal. You have the right to take care of you!Linda Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-51290496579514078582013-02-25T12:52:05.229-06:002013-02-25T12:52:05.229-06:00Great pictures Judy...the Palamedes is so pretty. ...Great pictures Judy...the Palamedes is so pretty.

It seems that as a volunteer you would get at least as much consideration as a paid employee. Most workplaces will accommodate special circumstances, such as recovering from hip surgery, by assigning duties that do not aggravate the condition. I have not been a NWR volunteer so I don't know how that all works, but it just seems to me they should treat you with more consideration when making the work assignments. In the meantime, have you tried any special shoes, maybe like the ones nurses wear...something really cushy and supportive? Take care, you are worth it!

I don't know about sitting and waiting for them, though. We did that only once, and that was in the Yoho NP area in Canada ... the Spiral Train Tunnels are interesting because they have some really long freight trains in Canada, and you can see the train still going in one end as the engine is coming out on the other end.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-47928322412675696712013-02-25T07:37:55.280-06:002013-02-25T07:37:55.280-06:00Beautiful pictures.
