Every once in a while, something beautiful comes along and the whole world looks a little brighter…
This Little Lovely showed up in my house the other day…I was awed by it’s gorgeous coloring. I stared at it for a while and called Indigo to come look. We were getting ready to leave the house and I tried to get it to go outside, but it fluttered and fluttered and landed here…
It’s a good thing Indie was there to document the whole thing! π
I may or may not get a little giddy when these things happen. OK, IΒ do. I love it when creatures from nature accept me…as long as they can maintain their manners. This brings to mind a certain TOAD. (If you need a giggle, you just might want to click that link.) Blech. Anyway…
I could not get this butterfly to fly away. I carried her (it’s a girl, I just know it) outside, to the car, pulled my purse strap over her head (without touching it, whew), pointed her this way and that (she was on my pointer finger after all), showed her to the kids and Nate, flapped my finger to see if that would make her feel like flying…and thought I could really get used to having a beautiful butterfly on the tip of my finger for the rest of my life…
But I finally found a little angel in my garden to set her on. When I placed her there, she flew away. I was sad to see her go.
It felt like a little gift from God…like He smiled on me for a moment…or about 10 minutes, to be exact…I’ll take what I can get.
Happy Monday. I hope beauty will find its way to you today.
