In today’s episode, Clem and Lester are enjoying the beautiful fall foliage.
Let’s listen in . . .
“You see that orange leaf up there?”
“Which one? There’s thousands of orange leaves up there.”
“That one right there. The one with the funny shape. Kinda looks like a heart, but with a notch tore out of the bottom.”
“I still don’t see it. What’s it located next to?”
“It’s right between them other two orange leaves, about half-way out that limb.”
“Has it got black spots on it, and a short stubby stem?”
“Yeah! Do you see it now?”
“No.”
“Right there! It’s the one wigglin’ in the breeze?”
“That’s not a leaf, you idiot. That’s a butterfly!”
Ah, Russell,
ReplyDeleteI needed to laugh this morning. Thank you for the release.
Still smiling,
Doug
Ah, I can tell the first speaker is a real nature lover. Butterfly! :D Well done, Russell. LOL
ReplyDeleteRussell, you and your stories always make me smile!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind remarks, Doug, Siobhan, and Jan. I love it when people smile.
ReplyDeleteMadison really challenges me with some of these photo prompts. That's what makes it fun :)
Another great slice of conversation - you guys are so good at that! "What's it located next to?", I was grinning throughout, but that really got me.
ReplyDeleteThat's so realistic, it could have happened right there under that tree the day I took the photo, LOL. Great story :)
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely hilarious, Russell.
