Life goes WAY too fast, and I've found that becoming a homeschooling family has slowed us down a little AND made us pay attention to the world around us. (EVERYTHING is now a learning opportunity!)
For example...
On our way into the house as we arrived home from Church, I saw this little guy. With his wings closed, he's gray. It's hard to see the pretty orange on his wings. But as soon as he moved, we saw how gorgeous he really was! Before unlocking the door, running in to change our clothes, make some lunch, and all the other things we normally do after Church, we took a minute to watch.
He is an American Copper Butterfly, and a lot smaller than he looks in this picture. The flower he is sitting on is the small bloom of a mum. He was only about 3/4 of an inch long.
Most days with all the running around and things we "have" to do, we probably would have missed this beautiful butterfly.
It just makes me wonder...what else do we miss?
