Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

It's a Butterfly!

We noticed that the chrysalis had darkened by yesterday, which is a sign the butterfly could emerge in 24 hours...

And it did :-)


Twelve days from chrysalis to butterfly. Time to carefully take off the lid...


"Wow! I've never been this close to a butterfly before!"
Nolan was PRET-TY excited.

Then, in an instant, it flew off to a nearby Ash tree...

"Bon Voyage, Stripey."

That's nothing. When I was his age, I used to train monarch butterflies to perch on my tongue, three at a time, while I held my mouth open. There, they would perform synchronized wing-dances to the tune of "Brown Eyed Girl."
