Dear Caterpillar

Monarch (newly eclosed), May 2021



Dear caterpillar,
did you ever dream that this
blessed day would come?



* The first monarch butterfly of the season eclosed early this morning. I sat down next to her for several quiet minutes as the sky lightened and the morning breeze stirred. She's allowing her wings to fill and will soon take her first flight.
