Death

     As I look at  my yard I notice that it seems like the life of everything that is living is getting the life sucked out of them. The tree is losing more of its leaves as the days go by, the grass is becoming dry, flowers don't look as they did a few months back. Autumn is weakening summer so winter doesn't have to do all the work. As tree leaves fall they fertilize the ground so that next year summer has a chance to fight back. This death isn't permanent like our human deaths; summer will come back next year strong as ever but why can't we do that as humans?
     I'm one those people that doesn't fear death but I'm always curios about what is waiting for us after death. I would like to think that we just comeback to life just like summer does every year after autumn and winter are done with it but sadly I believe that after death there is nothing that happens. Seems to be that the people that fear death are fearing nothing we don't know anything about what happens after and we might never know.
     There's plenty of different ideas that different religions and people have about what happens after you die but not a single one of these can be proven. Why believe what somebody else tells you? They haven't died and came back to life to tell you what happens because that's really the only way to [rove your point. In reality there is nothing after death there's just a lot of theories that chose to believe or follow.
     The whole coming back to life thing sounds amazing but I would rather stay not knowing what comes after death because what if its not so amazing and it's just a horrible ugly thing; then you will be lying to people and giving them false hopes for something that nay not even happen when you die.. I feel like not knowing what comes after death gives people something to look forward to right before their time comes because they'll finally be able to know what really is waiting after death.

Ugly Cousin

The moth is considered to be less beautiful than a butterfly, but is that true?
While observing I saw something that looked like a butterfly but after doing further research I found out that is wasn't a butterfly but a moth. I was a little taken back by this because I thought moths only came out at night. During my research I found many moths that look way better than butterflies but the moth that I saw was the typical ugly moth that most people see, the forage looper moth.

I personally don't like bugs and bugs that fly just make my fear worse. The fact that this moth can grow bigger than a quarter sounds pretty scary. There really isn't anything interesting about this moth, it eats grasses. Compared to the other moths I saw I can easily say this is one of the less flashy moths out of the rest. The color of the forage looper moth is dull and boring. This moth can be a zombie like form of a butterfly. I would hate to be the butterfly whose mother tells them to go to prom with this cousin.

Hard Worker

The robin that has been coming to my lawn has been a regular visitor. I have even decided to give the robin a name, I've named him Robin Hood. I had trouble deciding if Robin Hood is a male or a female but I did some research and found out that my robin is a male. A male has much more brighter colors than a female does, a female has much more duller colors than a male.

I got more curious about the mythology about robins so I did a little a digging around the internet and I found that the native Americans see the robin as "can do birds." Robins have great work ethic as some tribes say. For some tribes the color of the robin's breast is a sign of fire.

Robin Hood comes around three in the afternoon but then leaves in a few minutes. Seems like he's getting food but I don't know if its for him or if he might have a nest around my house with babies inside. At times Robin Hood doesn't leave the yard unless he finds something. If Robin hood does have babies I would be a little jealous because their father is there for them unlike mine but i have a great stepfather that can represent Robin Hood as a "can do person."
