"Every day is a day to be thankful. 
Life's abundance has no limit, 
and gratitude is what keeps 
that abundance flowing. 
In every circumstance there is something 
for which to be thankful. 
Even when there seems to be nothing else, 
there is hope." 
 ~ Ralph Marston

Fritillary Butterfly on Butterfly Milkweed

- Orison Swett Marden

Tiny Monarch Caterpillar - this is my first of the year sighting. - Deerfield Trail, Blacksburg, Virginia

 Each weekend I try to get out and inspect the milkweed that grows in and around the many greenways and trails in Blacksburg. I was rewarded with my first sighting of a tiny monarch caterpillar - who I hope grows up to become a beautiful monarch butterfly.
