Our residents recently had the opportunity to observe one of nsture's most amazing transformations in our garden. A small caterpillar spent its days munching on leaves and growing bigger and stronger. When it was ready, it attached itself to a plant and formed a chrysalis, where an incredible change took place. Over the next several days the caterpillar transformed into a beautiful butterfly. When the time came the butterfly emerged from the chrysalis, dried its wings and then took its first flight through our garden. Watching this remarkable journey reminded everyone of the beauty of growth, change and the wonders of nature that can be found right outside our doors
