I have always been enchanted
with the magic and beauty
of the life cycle of a Monarch Butterfly.
This Summer we have had the most extraordinary opportunity
of tending and watching up close
the miracle of these beautiful little creatures
on their journey to becoming a Butterfly.
We have raised 8 tiny caterpillars gathered from a field
not far from my gardens.
We've watched with sweet anticipation as their amazing life cycle
has unfolded before our very eyes...
has unfolded before our very eyes...
Each stage, from a tiny little egg, to an always hungry caterpillar, to a mysterious Chrysalis and finally, a beautiful Butterfly, are miracles that truly testify of a Divine Creator.
It has been a tender mercy , especially for me, to witness these tiny miracles,
a sweet diversion from the trials that life so often presents.
Together, our family's lives have been greatly enriched through our discoveries.
While I have enjoyed each stage of their precious life,
I must admit that their transformation to a butterfly
is the most magical to me.
Watch as My Butterfly Dreams come true...
(please note that I have sped up the action a bit.)
And actually, I do have one more post to share
before I'm done with Butterflies...
next week.
