Today, our second moth hatched! What I thought sounded like a mouse chewing inside the wall, turned out to be a Luna moth clawing its way out of the cocoon. Here is a video of the final moments:

Quotes
- Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand. - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
- Education"Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education." -David Polis
- "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it... but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one becomes to feeling ill... Thus if one just keeps walking, everything will be all right." -Soren Kierckgaard
- Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. - Albert Camus
- How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. Annie Dillard

Very beautiful... The Betts' showed us one year how to hatch Monarch butterflies. I actually filmed one coming out of the cocoon.. though it took lots of rewinding of the video tape. It's pretty amazing. Circle of life.. The big kids' are too hip for that now..is hip even a word anymore? Dating myself again, darnit.
