Our six-year-old friend noticed a small visitor as we walked up to the front door. The bright green spot on the concrete was just too much for him to resist. Don't worry, he didn't hurt the little guy. He used a piece from the pine tree to turn it over. The caterpillar would than twist its body to return to its feet. I eventually used the same dried branch to get it to allow me to place it in a bush.
We've had our share of Tiger
Swallowtail Butterflies lately, even spotted one today. I would like to imagine
that the new friend we met today would someday grow into something so beautiful.
I am just grateful for the opportunity the boys had to meet
this little creature. We were able to talk about it, learn from it, and hopefully
it'll grace us with a "flutter by". I just wish we had many more...
