Butterfly Release...

We released the butterflies today, we kept waiting and waiting- they could not be released in the rain you know! We went outside and Kaitlin tried to get them to land on her finger. She finally did it and was so excited to handle a butterfly!

A Butterfly Hovers Closely

A butterfly hovers closely

And then quickly moves away,

Swiftly going where so ever

Her heart may freely say.

A butterfly lowers and rises

With the winds's gusty breath,

As if coupled within a dance

Of a loving tenderness.

The butterfly only knows

How it feels to have wings,

To kiss the petals of flowers

In such elegant flitterings.

To have but one moment

Of such an exquisite flight,

Would be like a dream

Where all seems so right.

My camera was foggy from the heat! I was so bummed the picture did not turn out better but what can you do!
Emily really, really wanted one to land on her to but it was a no go!
This butterfly landed on a nearby plant and stayed for quite a while. Kate left some fruit outside to tempt him to stay forever. I personally think he will fly off to see the world! We will see in the morning!
