Butterflies are nature’s angels.
They remind us what a gift it is to be alive.

Butterflies can’t see their wings.
They can’t see how truly beautiful they are,
but everyone else can.
People are like that as well.

How does one become a butterfly?
You have to want to learn to fly so much that you
Are willing to give up being a caterpillar.

Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness and still become something beautiful.

Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine.

Hubby and I depend upon a gravity spring for our water.  This year the spring was not enough for the house and the gardens.  So we decided that it was time to put in a well.

We’ve waited.

And waited.

Finally, this week, this happened:

There is a stake showing where to drill.  Meanwhile, the excavation had to happen in order to bring in the drilling equipment (not so easy when one lives on the side of a mountain).

Looking down to our driveway (lost one pear, and one apple tree to the excavation):

Here is a photo from Sept. 15, 2011 :

And this week:

Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.
