Monarch Butterflies


This month as part of a very profound class called "Dreaming Out of The Box", run by my dear friend Madaline Blau, we are supposed to monitor what "excites us". This does:

Our little organic community garden is also an official Monarch Way Station which means we have milkweed, lots and lots of milkweed. I found a chrysalis on my basil and have been watching the above one on a blue lantern in the garden. Last week one must have finished its cycle and was pumping its wings in my garden...unfolding and stretching them. It was amazing. Each day in the garden confirms for me the miracle of nature.
