Butterfly with a Heart

Unlike most butterflies who come to drink nectar, this one just hovered around my daughter for a very long time.


After doing some research, I found out that it is called the Danaid Eggfly or Mimic (Hypolimnas misippus).


From my research, I also discovered how it looked like as a caterpillar.
Hey! That looks familiar!
It is one of those who ate up my cabbage leaves.


I am glad that it came back to say hello.


Surprisingly , it stayed around pretty long.


I wonder if this was the butterfly who created the heart on my cabbage leaf and allowed the flowers to be noticed.

As You Sow, So Shall You Reap

The meaning of the idiom above it quite obvious. 
The harvest that we reap depends on the seeds that we sow.


As I sowed cherry tomatoes seeds, I get to enjoy sweet, delicious tasting cherry tomatoes almost every morning.


As I sowed papaya seeds, the whole family enjoys good health through the nutrients that these papaya fruits provide us.


As I sowed cabbage seeds, beautiful cabbage plants emerged. 1,2,3,4.
4 cabbages coming up...


Where are all the cabbages? Gone. All I see are caterpillars.
The wise says Don't Count Your Chicken Before They Hatch. 

I tell myself, it's all right. The caterpillars will soon transform and fly away. 
I'll have the cabbages then. I just need to Hold My Horses.


As I waited patiently for the caterpillars to transform and cabbage leaves to grow, another batch of caterpillars arrived!!!
Oh! No! I'm Back To Square One!
Well, now that I have lost all my 4 cabbages, I must remind myself not to Lose My Head as well!


As I Keep My Chin Up I see beautiful moths and butterflies.


Aren't they pretty?
If you do not reap what you sow, remember, it could just be a Blessing In Disguise
After all, Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining.

If the above is All Greek To You, my apologies. I'm just having some fun with idioms. 
Thank you for Lending Me Your Ear to listen to my Cock and Bull Story.
