Thank You for the beautiful post!! How nice of you to take the time to document the birth of your very own butterfly! What an education I just received!!! Were the kids all excited?
Love...mmm
This is truly awesome. isn't God beyond brilliant? I've always dreamed of my own butterfly garden and never did anything about it, but now i see i should! it would be sooo cool if this happens in the garden you planted at Gramma Angie's! i know that last summer hummingbirds were spotted there so maybe butterflies will make it their home, too. Does aunt kathy have her own butterflies in hootersville? i'm starting to get challenged again.... oh,yeah i found out when i left click on the photo it gets bigger and i could see the baby caterpiller!!
