The eighth butterfly emerged this morning. Another female. That makes six females and 2 males, so far. She didn’t seem to mind at all when I stuck my camera in her face. Beautiful. ~~Rhonda

the girls are home :)
September 28, 2008 – 5:03 pm
Our two older daughters are home for the weekend. A short visit, to be sure, but a good one. When DH made pancakes for breakfast, DD requested a butterfly. Not bad, hmm? 🙂 The girls leave tomorrow morning for home. We’re glad to have a visit, even though it wasn’t long enough. ~~Rhonda
the garden in autumn
September 27, 2008 – 3:21 pm
The air has taken on that “autumn feel.” Sort of golden, and a little dusty and sweet somehow. Lots of pretty things yet to see when we walk the yard. The hydrangeas were beautiful this year. Most are fading to a soft rosy pink and a pretty green color. I want to pick some for […]
apple cake
September 25, 2008 – 5:40 pm
This morning I was perusing my google reader feed and came across a recipe for apple bread on Kitchen Parade. I had the ingredients necessary so decided to try the recipe. The recipe called for Granny Smith apples. I didn’t have those on hand, but did have Galas, so I used them instead. I mixed […]

The first butterfly emerged two days ago. Another one yesterday. And another one this morning! We waited until DH came home after work to release the first one. He had to carefully take the screen off the top of the tank as two caterpillars have decided to attach to it to pupate. Silly bugs. The […]

Cathy, this one’s for you. Savor autumn. ~~Rhonda 🙂 A walk through the little woods behind our house… Goldenrod. Elderberry bush sans elderberries…isn’t the pinky red a beautiful color?

first butterfly!
September 23, 2008 – 10:42 am
We now have eleven chrysalises in our butterfly tank and the first butterfly emerged today. I’m posting this photo in a large size so you can see the amazing beauty and detail of the wing scales. Isn’t God’s gift of creation amazing? Buttercup is fascinated! We put some butterfly bush blossoms and a couple of […]

September 22, 2008 – 10:32 pm
Sunday evening, the mission team that went to West Virginia this summer gave their report to the church. Bethany, who was on the team and is now in the Philippines, joined us via Skype which John set up. DH especially liked John’s high tech bucket. 🙂 After the report, while we had snacks, everyone got […]
