Feelin' Floral for a Friend!

Today I am using a couple of beautiful new releases from Polka Dot Orchard. I love this image from "Beauty of His Grace" and plan to use it many times. I paired it with the sentiment from "Blessed Lives".

{Story here if you are interested} If you know me, you know I love all animals. But butterflies hold a special place in my heart. When my children were young, I found caterpillars eating my parsley and before I decided to get rid of them, I looked up what kind of caterpillar it was. I found out it was a black swallowtail and from that day on, I plant parsley every year just to feed the caterpillars. I brought a few of them in and let my children watch them go through metamorphosis. The day we let them go, they had a chance to have a butterfly on their finger. This past summer (2019) we had over 20 caterpillars grow and change in our home. I was sad when 4 did not emerge. To play it safe, I kept them in my garage where they would not be too hot or too cold and this spring they all hatched! Amidst all that has happened so far in 2020, it was such a wonderful feeling to know that the butterflies were just over wintering and did not die. Picture of one of our butterflies at the end. {Thank you for reading :) }
