Today some friends and I went to the Botanical Garden's Butterfly Show. What a magical treat. We saw the most beautiful butterflies and moths that you can imagine....one moth that is huge, I mean at least 10 inches across that has wings that look like snake heads. Amazing. It only lives for 6 days, has no mouth so it cannot eat and only lives to replicate. I can't imagine. I think it was called an Atlas moth and was from South America. At least it wouldn't eat your sweaters! I will have some pictures to post soon. It was the most fantastical thing to have these huge butterflies flying all over in a conservatory that had every kind of exotic plant in the world growing in it and the humidity was 100%. There is also a stream full of fish flowing throughout and simply amazing. The next event is the Japanese Garden and there is a restaurant there that I want to go to. So restful and beautiful the Botanical Gardens are. I have completed two shirts for my Civil War teacher and hope to have pictures of him in both outfits to post as well....so I have been busy, even though I haven't posted anything lately. Hugs to all, Melissa
