"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Connected by Butterflies

Cherie has a tall skinny pumpkin too....and her funky stem is looking fairly relaxed.

This warty pumpkin/gourd came home with me from a local farm store and found a home on the rock wall.

  

I love the tiny pop of orange...and I can see it from my puzzle table. 

Speaking of puzzle tables....I just finished assembling all the butterflies. With the foil accents...it's so pretty in person and I love that all the butterflies are connected. It's the whole world connected by butterflies. It reminds me of another butterfly puzzle I did that had such an impact on me. You can read that post here: https://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2026/01/learning-from-butterflies.html 


Maybe we CAN learn something from Butterflies!
Time to move onto the background. I've got some ordering to do.

    Tall, skinny, funky, relaxed, popping, and the whole world connected by butterflies. It's all pretty astonishing, isn't it? Thanks for your ongoing noticing and celebrating, MaryAnn. Love that you can see that blaze of orange from your puzzle table : )

      Thanks Julierose....so nice to hear from another puzzler! My system is working very well....now I have to try it on the leaves and background. Your paper umbrella puzzle sounds fun....I think I've done an umbrella one too.
