When a guy sits down next to you and he smells SO good. Yep. I'm thankful for THAT!

I remember a while ago, I had a guy friend who had the BEST cologne, whenever he'd leave, the girls in my apartment (including me) would quick try and grab the pillow he was holding so we could smell it a bit longer. Oh. My. That was ridiculous. But we did it. :)

For a few years, the Monarch butterflies would migrate right through our backyard.  They would be so thick that they looked like leaves on the trees. It was only if you went up to them and blew a little air at them that they would open up and a whole tree would turn orange like this. AH-MAZING.
