Well, I kept super busy this weekend, keeping my mind busy was best. We enjoyed some of the nicest fall weather, I would say we're in the midst of an Indian Summer.
Yesterday I did some more autumn yard work, cleaned up the rest of the garden, emptied flower pots and took care of all the summer stuff from the porch.
It was such a beautiful day for Maygan and I to release our Butterfly that finally hatched on Friday.
Almost a month to the day from when we found the caterpillar
Friday afternoon the chrystalis began to clear
by 9:00pm Friday night the butterfly had emerged
(we didn't get to see this part)
but, isn't it beautiful!
Here it is yesterday in all it's glory on Maygan's arm
about to spread it's wings in flight
about to take off.........bye, bye Butterfly
What a great experience this was for both May and I (even hubby thought it was pretty cool)
made me a little sad to say goodbye...have a safe journey southwest pretty Monarch
and today
I FINISHED MY STEPBACK CUPBOARD
Woo Hoo
I'll share that tomorrow!
Blessings,
Traci

What timing for your beautiful little sign of new life and hope to spread it's wings - peace & hugs ~*~Lisa
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the coolest thing to do. Last fall I had two Luna moth Chrysalis. We had them from the Caterpillar stage all the way thru. They were in the cocoon stage for 7 months. It was great to see them emerge and to release a moth that actually not many folk get to see.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful experience - love the photos....perhaps a word of comfort from you mom....Hugs ~ Robin
