A Winter long guest.

 "We hada over winter guest.  Lynn would not let it in the house. But she 'splained to me this butterfly had to stay in it's shell all winter and outside so it would not hatch in the house."

"She found a teenie tiny Black Swallowtail caterpillar on a 

Queen Anne's lace in the garden in late Aug.  She had to buy it

organic parsley!  Me,  I just git bagged crunchies!"

"We kept it in a plastic bucket with a net cloth fur a lid.  To

keep the mice and birdies furom eating it."

"We were so happy to see it finally wake up.  It knew we had

a terrible winter and awful non-Spring Spring so it kept

in it's shell fur a very long time."

It hatched on April 21.  At least 6 months of waiting.

"As usual,  I take back seat to other critters."

Precious, I really don't think so.  After all you got 3 meals

a day with treats all winter long.  While poor butterfly

could only dream of Spring and flowers and flying.

And after it hatched out we have had morning after

morning of freezing weather and cold rain. Hopefully

the poor butterfly found food and dry place.

"Well, if I don't take the backseat to evfurry one else, how come

Rocky is eatin' and I'm just watchin'?

It was Sunday when the birds had hard water and I would not

go out on my pink rug.  I watched him wolf down bird seed."
