Fly away!

About a month ago, we found 5 monarch caterpillars, you know, the ones that are black , white and yellow, found on milkweed plants. Well, we is more like I, I walked in the ditches along the road, and the girls walked in the yard and yelled to me, "Did you find one yet, Mom?" every two minutes. We also drove to Grandma and Grandpa's house looking in the ditches, and found two tiny ones (Grandpa needed his glasses to see them). Any way, 4 out of the 5 make a chrysalis in their jars. So far, 2 of the five have turned into beautiful, orange and black monarch butterflies. That's amazing to me, how a little worm-like creature can turn into a beautiful, free butterfly. So here's to nature's beauty... spread your wings and fly... FLY AWAY!

These amazing creatures are the same as children. They turn into beautiful creatures and fly away, well maybe just step away a few miles. Sappy MOM
