I was getting ready for the new year here and Yehuda asked me t come by to help him with a plumbing problem.

I was short on time, but while standing in his garden, I got to witness a butterfly come out of its cocoon – something I have never witnessed.

As it comes out, the wings are wet and crumpled to its body. It crawls upward and hangs and after about 20 minutes the wing were hanging flat.

Suddenly he (she?) stretched them and revealed the beautiful colors.

I sent them to Emma and she created this picture…

A great start to a new year!
