Milo’s last post…

::cue somber music::

A freeze...

not the snow kind like many of you have lived through

but a freeze that kills tropical plants

blew through here this winter…

Much damage to repair

or mourn

So... my trusty new bug friend

Milo and I

with clippers and machete in hand

went to survey the damage

...and commence chopping

we’ve learned living here…through hurricanes

that nature is beautifully resilient

most things will come back with a vengeance.

that is good

But...

there is also a true beauty in what is left behind

So I brought some in

why not?

Milo was having a ball…

And then HE came

The end.

ed. note: Milo is fine and is being shipped away to the next destination on the Milo World Tour

No stuffed bugs were injured in the making of the post.

I'm pretty sure.
