Yellow Flutters In The Morning

For the past two weeks, I’ve been pleased to watch a little yellow butterfly come and suck from the morning glories, marigolds and petunias in my front yard flower beds.  This little yellow butterfly flutter’s it’s delicate wings, and lands lightly on each bloom, spends 1 second, and moves to the next bloom, until the thirst is quenced and she’s off, fluttering in her wavy back and forth style, over the roof and away.  She comes by routinely, at 8:30 in the morning, stays around for about 5 minutes, and off she flies.  Sometimes I can catch her again in the late afternoon, for another brief sip of nectar.

I feel at peace, watching this little soft-winged creature work her way through the flowers.  I’m glad we’ve planted them, and I thank her everyday, for giving me a moment of sunshine.
