Butterfly Farmer

This spring, it has been lots of fun raising caterpillars and observing them change into butterflies in a little mesh cage that was a gift from Django's friend Harvey.  Once they hatch from the chrysalis, Tillie enjoys coaxing them onto her finger and then releasing them.  She's pretty good at being still enough for them to chill a while on her finger.  This one escaped before she could give it a ride.  They are kind of like balloons--ephemeral friends that cannot be loved too vigorously.
