Rosie and Sadie watched the life cycle of a butterfly this spring- it was so fun. They watched their little friends go from caterpillars to chrysalises to beautiful Painted Lady butterflies! Releasing them was amazing. Rosie whispered words of encouragement to them as she unzipped their enclosure and let them out.
"You can do this," she'd say.
"Fly away! You're ready! Come on- fly"
I stood by and snapped pictures.... and teared at Rosie's tenderness.... and prayed hard that a bird didn't fly by and chomp the sweet little butterflies out of midair.

I love Rosie's little heart. So tender.
And also? Why do they have to call them "Painted Ladies?" Immediately I start singing Reba McEntire "Here's your one chance, Fancy don't let me down!"
