A certain fairy-princess-ballerina-mermaid just turned 4. I happened to snap a picture before she flitted away…

And on her birthday, we had more butterfly magic happen, as a monarch emerged from our bughouse after another fascinating transformation, right before our eyes! If ever there were fairies at work, it's in a monarch chrysalis. Gorgeous, with its jadeite green and gilded accents…

This chrysalis is one we have on our gatepost. Still waiting for it to come out…
