Right between where Jenn lives and where I (Casey) live is a butterfly conservatory called
Magic Wings. They put the word Magic in the title and somehow I still wasn't ready for the experience I was about to have. It was ignorant of me to think that these people didn't know their own power well enough to just lay it out on the sign.
This place is like, what it must feel like to... man I can't even think of a metaphor. Here, look at this butterfly.

| Don't you feel better already? I do |

We went to Magic Wings to take pictures of dolls that had a nature theme to them. There are multiple rooms, each of them beautiful, and they allow us to let the chibis go on "adventures."

| Totoro and I waited for a bus. |
When the bus never showed I decided to lie down and let Totoro chill on my stomach. From that bench I could see hundred of butterflies fluttering around above me. The greenhouse was in the 80's, so it was warm enough to help all my muscles relax. I was at peace with the universe.
When I finally got back up again, I walked around a bit more. When you're walking you have to watch your feet because there very well might be a butterfly right on the floor. While I was ooking down there, I found this guy.

| Internet, meet Randy |
I decided this guy's name was Randy and he was going to be my friend. I knelt down to take a picture, but I was using Jenn's iPhone and I had to get really close. He got spooked and fluttered and landed on my hand!
Randy is the chillest butterfly in all of existence. He just hung out on anything we put him near.

| Appa got to wake up and smell the butterflies |
He even tried to get Jenn to take a break and enjoy his company.

| Randy... not too aware of personal bubbles |
In addition to butterflies, there are little quails running around. The Chocoborg attempted to assimilate them.
 |
| You blend poorly, Chocoborg |
|
And there are clear butterflies there are well. I didn't even know nature DID that.
 |
| Damn nature, you crazy. Doctor Manhattan, however, finds your molecules to be beautiful. |
I wish I could have taken all of you with me. If you ever find yourself in western Massachusetts, go experience this place. It'll melt every possible bad, uncomfortable or negative thing out of you.

| Even Tonberry went light on the POINKS that day |
