Butterfly

[delsdia]

M found a caterpillar last week and it cocooned. We've been watching it everyday, and today it turned clear, then when we looked again it had hatched out as a beautiful monarch butterfly.The wings seemed moist and as they dried Mona (m named her) started to flap her wings every now and then. It took over an hour for her to figure out that she could fly. Then...up she went into our tree. M and her friend squealed with delight as they ran through the house and up the stairs onto the deck to watch her. It realy was very exciting!!

The summer has gone by so fast . School starts again on Wednesday, much to M's dismay.
