Monarch Melissa emerged on October 30, royal and enchanting, blessing the world with her classy style and innumerable mysteries. My only complaint is that, even after I carried her chrysalis and some lovely nectar flowers carefully in a basket around Tierrasanta the day before, eating lunch at a sandwich shop and shopping for sweets for my grandma with her, she chose a moment to emerge the following day when mine eyes were absent from the scene. This is unbelievably poor judgment on the part of my favorite butterfly friend, but I have let bygones be bygones and hugged and kissed her profusely as she hung on the branch waiting to fly into her new life! Yes, she really was a girl!
Now she has gone leaving pleasant memories only true friends can leave lingering, but a striped quarter of an inch mean,lean baby leaf eating machine has come to remind us that life is a process, always changing and always colorful.
