Stripey 2.1

I went into the guest room for some knitting needles, and came out with...


She must have emerged from her chrysalis late this afternoon. Her wings were getting strong, but she still wasn't confident enough to fly.

We woke Little Charlie up to see her before carefully gathering her up and taking her outside.

Have a wonderful life, Stripey!

I meant to ask you and let you know that ours had emerged yesterday. I'm waiting for some awesome photos of it from Sarah (who has a new camera). Have a wonderful life, Stripey 2!

Can't wait to see them! What a happy feeling it was to see our butterfly. I had taken the lid off the container earlier, so she was actually fluttering around on the floor when I found her. This was the best picture I could get at 11:00 pm in the guestroom!

Congratulations! One more butterfly to bring joy to the world...!
