Chrysalis!

 

Where oh, where did my fat caterpillars go?

This is the only chrysalis I can find among the dill stalks!

R+P -- Save the Date!

The date has been set

The venue reserved

A dress to be sewn

Which food will we serve?

Bridesmaids, groomsmen,

A preacher, and flowers

Honeymoon, wedding rings

Cake, pie, cookies or cobbler?

Decorations of weathered wood,

Lace doilies, Mason jars

Music, dancing, fun times

And - a getaway car?

Family and friends

Will gather together

To celebrate the love

You have for each other

Asking God for a blessing

As the planning continues

May all count it joy

At lovely Creekside venue! 

 

 

 

Oh Caterpillar...



Oh Caterpillar, oh Caterpillar, how lovely are your polka dots! You're chomping away at the blossoms of my 5 foot dill and getting fatter by the minute. How long will it take for your chubby body to morph into a chrysalis? Then miraculously complete the cycle of metamorphosis and slip out of your shell to reveal a beautiful black swallowtail butterfly. I'm hoping to get to see the final product of at least one of these fancy caterpillars!

 

Cabbage Rose

 

I never really thought about what a cabbage rose would look like, but I think this is it!

And it's right here in my backyard garden.
