Wonder what poet John Milton (1608 - 1674) would say about this beautiful Milton's Tortiseshell butterfly?

A feline working buddy - watching to make sure the printer doesn't jam :~)

This caught my eye at the goodwill in Mason, MI because my mom had one just like it when I was little. It will make a nice purse mirror.

Kitty Sue loves to have her picture made in the shearling boa, but she dosn't like to wear most of her outfits.
